why is it when african american speak proper english, they often time get accused of talking white?

[marymarymariposa]

why is lowly behavior associated with being African-American. THis is a huge insult. Blacks are not a cultural monolith and should never accept ghetto behavior as the norm. Look at the African-American tradition and it's never been acceptable to be stupid or strive for low achievement. Just look at the previous generations especially prior to the Civil Rights Movement! Don't accept this new crap about low behavior being acceptable because it's not!

@Addis1110 an Oreo is really a cookie black on the outside and white cream on the inside. So some people would say that to a person. For example I was called gorgeous Oreo the other day cause some people say I act white.

Well, most black people take pride in acting, talking, and basically appearing to be ignorant,and illiterate. I don't quite understand what the appeal is. It makes me shake my head in disgust.

what is oreo?

[chocolatehippocool]

Yea I know how that feels. I grew up around Jamaican people cuz I'm Jamaican duh, I didn't grow up around black people that talk like "imma kick yo ass nigga" or something like that. So just because I don't say "mines" instead of mine. Doesn't mean i act like a white person and wish I was a white person. God that pisses me off. I don't like people that call people Oreos it's like okay of u and me were trying to get the same job I would probably get it first because you don't speak properly. Tha

I feel her pain. I moved down south from the midwest in the late 80's I got picked on and got into fights because I spoke proper. They used to make fun of me because I said R not R-rah and because I drank milk. not mirk. and ate pickles not prickles. owned a lawn mower not a lawn moe. I took tests. not testissis. I crossed the street. not the skreet. The only black thing i said correctly accroding to them was the word yall. which is short for you all. lol
