I think some people do so because they think acting black is cool? As a black person myself, I think it's weird. Those who do "act black" are mimicking stereotypes or from the types of friends they have. But really, if you love a culture so much, you don't have to go all out and try to be something that most people in that culture aren't.

@SW-User Thank you! This is EXACTLY what I meant!
MaryJo1996 · 26-30, F
People who start a sentence with "I am not a racist" usually are in my experience.

I mean youre describing people as acting as if they're black...I mean what does that even mean? There's a lot of racial stereotyping here.
MaryJo1996 · 26-30, F
@MeowsoliniReturns I know that you have racial stereotyping in you, otherwise you wouldnt describe people as "pretending" to be a different colour to what they are.

I mean how do you pretend to be a black? If you were not in anyway racist you would not see a difference to think a white person can pretend to black, or vice-versa.
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
@MaryJo1996 I see my WHITE friends pretend they grew up in the "hood" and adopt black slang ONLY when they are around black folks. Why do they need to steal from another culture? THIS is what I am talking about. Funny, but if you read some of the comment above it seems the black folks here know exactly what I mean. So, if I cannot ask an honest question without having to play into YOUR white guilt trip then so be it. I know how I feel and what I think so what some stranger online labels ME as is of no consequence to me.
MaryJo1996 · 26-30, F
@MeowsoliniReturns Yeah, erm, a person is just a person and we can act however we want if it's legal. No black, no white, we're all the same.

Torsten · 36-40, M
@MeowsoliniReturns cant get any sense into people like that. not worth the effort really
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
@Torsten I agree.

How does someone pretend to be black?
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Nebula Of someone pretending to be a race that they aren't. It happens with my ethnicity sometimes.
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
@Nebula Then why in the FUCK are you even here?
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
@BlueMetalChick This is EXACTLY what I meant. Jesus fucking Christ! How DARE I bring it up.
MaryJo1996 · 26-30, F
@MeowsoliniReturns Awww look at you, putting words in my mouth. Well done you!

Unfortunately appropriating culture has now become urban culture.
So it's not something we can claim as black people.
The moment you as a black person try to reclaim it and call others out on it, it makes you the racist.
For years we were forced to adapt, appropriate, become what was considered civilised. Funny isn't it that the very thing we've been forced to disregard is now urban culture!
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
@Peppa See, I think that's bullshit. I cannot stand it when a white person does not use any sort of black slang whatsoever around their white friends, but the minute a black individual comes into the room they think they have to act black to be accepted.
Peppa · 31-35, F
@MeowsoliniReturns unfortunately that's where the privilege comes in. Im black British, Im often told I'm posh by people that don't hang around posh or well off people, other black people see that as a 'stripping of' my culture. But its who I am, probably even forced to not hinder my progression. When I enter white spaces I am questioned, where I live, where I went to school, what my career is, if any of those exceed or don't match up to a predetermined mindset I face more questions challenging me for either being an imposter or interrogation about how I was allowed to have the opportunity to do x y and z...

Im sure these questions are asked to white people but after the first round of questions it probably settles down. Whereas I'm constantly challenged, even more in a practical sense
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
@Peppa I am sorry to hear you go though that. It's ridiculous that you are expected to be a certain way when you are simply being yourself. I have had friends tell me that they have been chastised for not acting "black enough." That blew my mind.
Didn't you know, these days you can identify as anything you like whether that be a black person, yellow banana or green banana

People who dont know you for shit but trying to own your narrative like they know you better than you know yourself...

Yes, they can get fucked!

They can get fucked for being shitty, insignificant wannabe cunts!
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
@Mandalorian Thank you. It seems they have used this post as a springboard to attack without really reading it and trying to consider what I mean. But like you said, "they can get fucked." I know who I am. I am accepting of what's INSIDE people. I don't give a shit if they look like me or not. I don't have to BE the stereotype of my "IDEA" of them to be accepted and loved. That's fucking stupid. And to those who say others don't do it...they are completely full of shit.

When people are black, why do they try to be white?
Ingwe · F
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
@Peppa Exactly! Why in the hell should I be afraid to ask this question and just how does it make me racist to do so?
Peppa · 31-35, F
@MeowsoliniReturns if a person where brought up in Jamaican or by Jamaican parents for example, them knowing the culture, speaking the dialect, and acting more like Jamaicans would be acceptable, because when we grow we learning through mimicking. But if you are not exposed to any of those things i feel it's an insult and almost like another form that conquer mentality.
It may be unconcious but I think it's a priveledge and entitled mentality, I must know everything...!

Have you not heard the saying ,once you go black you never go back?😲

@SW-User Well, if you look at many of the responses here (by people I have NEVER spoken to) I have already been judged as such for DARING to ask this question.

I think that because "black culture" has spread into the main culture, hence the red-head with dreadlocks :P
