I hate when people who talk white say "no i just talk proper/educated "

There is no "black" Australian accent like there is barely a "black" uk or canadian accent.
AAs are not immigrants, children of immigrants, or anything like that.
4-500 years of presence on a continent, you will develop your own decreolized version of English or other cac languages.
No, AAVE is not "broken", like patois isn't "broken", nor does it always follow the same rules.
That's why you goofass nikkas can't clown, and when you do, it comes across like a cac making fun if a breh.
English isn't something y'all made your own, you were made to speak it and live in a foreign land, and we MADE it into something else.
Tldr: being black don't make you cool, foreign lame nikka. Imitating us does. Your OG culture isn't good enough for you, that's why you ON HERE tryna get acceptance from big bro, and it's a BIG NO.
Build your own culture from the ground up after being stripped of yours...instead of sampling bits and pieces like a white hipster, you weird talking bytch.

Jim Crow in full flight once again.

Of all things nikkas should concern themselves with, were still stuck on this dumb shyt. This is why we wont get ahead.

Lol

I'm from Dade County, but my parents are from the Bahamas. I'm starting to realize that #thepattern really is true especially since I got to college. The AA kids for the most part are cool but a good amount of these Caribbean kids really be on some c00n/wench shyt, I be feeling like "NOT ALL OF US ARE BAD" lol

Here we gooooooooo.....

Again you are skewing the argument.

Like what OP posted, Your character has no relevance to this discussion. This is all about tone.

I’m not skewing the argument. You said talking white doesn’t mean acting white. Talking with the same tonal inflection as whites is an action. Therefore someone using this action is acting white

You are CANADIAN, this thread has nothing to do with immigrants.

I remember having to call Sprint to get my phone activated. I'm getting myself prepared to deal with one of Nap's cousins
and was surprise to hear a sista on the other end Her english was flawless but as soon as she spoke I could hear she was Black

You know what. as a foreigner (even though mans have been here for years ) I will acknowledge i dont really have a place in this conversation

Foreign nikkas talk different, Naturalized nikkas talk different, american descendants of slavery talk different, everyone talks different but i dont know about this whole sounding white thing though.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

My family was middle class and ghetto
And they know what talking white means

Everybody knows what talking white means. These dudes just playing dumb outta insecurity

Thre are MORE caribbean people owning homes and businesses in Dade than the GTA, btw.
I thought you'd be happy to hear about your folks thriving despite the odds in a en espanol area

This has nothing to do with a series of LAWS enacted by whites to enforce segregation...AT ALL.

 

[Jim Cornette]

howd you end up with one of those?

I moved out here when I was still a kid...

You are skewing the argument. The are not interchangeable terms.

"Acting white" is a broad term with many interpretation and meanings. You are talking a small discussion and stretching it over a wide range of issues, many issues it may not even fit into.

So Jim Crow had no hand in blacks being pigeonholed and internal division?
