HE DONT WANNA BE SAVED DONT SAVE HIM
OP's post and your observation on his post seems spot on. But there is two sides to this. When I am in the corporate world, I do change my vernacular, but when I am hanging with my fam, I do speak the dialect.Originally Posted by Gex The Damaja
Two things I'm seeing with this particular gem: "educate myself on social etiquette around blacks", sounds like you grew up in an Elitist environment, kind of confirmed by how your family caused another to cry because she no longer accepted the "Levar Burton" idea of culture, I'm not sure what you mean by "etiquette around blacks", does that mean around black people your demeanor should change?Originally Posted by Levar Burton
Think about this, I'm coming to an anonymous user generated discussion board with question to educate myself on social etiquette around blacks. I'm getting slammed for it.
Let's say I was weak minded and took some of this discussion to heart and let it change my view on blacks. The next time you're with a group of friends and a white guy just DOESN'T speak to you or is blatantly rude, or doesn't know WHAT to say that doesn't OFFEND you as blacks remember this thread.
I promise I'll never speak on race/culture on this forum again as of today.
And how does this thread relate to a random white guy being rude to a random black guy?

troll of the week goes to OP, can't believe he managed to get 9 pages from this
Where did he state this in the post I quoted? Please show meOriginally Posted by slickp42189
youre dumb right along with him if you think all blacks act ghetto, how are all blacks a product of the ghetto? all of us were born in the hood?Originally Posted by moneymike88
I'm black and I agree.Originally Posted by Levar Burton
In a sense yes, if you're from a certain area there's going to be some characteristics that you will posses. Behaviorism affects us all, positive or negative. Anti-social behavior is NOT okay but if I meet someone from the inner-city, black, white, asian etc, I'd be more understanding of their demeanor than someone not from the inner-city acting in such a manner.
People are products of their environments.
Judge me.

I'm asking black people in particular, does it bother you when non-blacks act "ghetto"? Especially when you know they have no idea about the inner-city or even spent a great while there?
Are we supposed to pretend that only black folks carry on ignorantly and that it is more natural for us as opposed to "non-blacks."
Non-blacks... really? Is blackness a condition that has "ghetto" as one of it's syptoms? What the %*#% are you really trying to say?
Explain and quit with the cop out. Man up. I'm trying to "take you serious as an adult."
