While to fit in with African Americans as a behavior could come from several different reasons.  It could be that the person sees them as superior in strength and presence and they want to be aligned with that.  They may see some members of specific groups as having great and laid back lives (think rappers).  They may see that they act more as a family and that brings commraderie and protection (think gangs or just in general).  Or they may see it as different and they really want to be different, separated from the typical white crowd and ideas.\nThere are lots of things that motivate people psychologically and many of them often are really "unknown" to the actual person as they never sit down and think... hey why do I do this.. they just respond to the desire to do it.\n\nBut that is just my opinion

The main reason is pure ignorance of the black culture.  Plus the negative stereotypes of black men ie (thugs, dope dealers, etc) from medias such as newspapers, tv and music.

The thing is that black people started the hip hop/urban culture you are talking about, so that's why people say they act black.  The term I hear a lot is "wigger", that term has been around for years and years.  I know it sounds offensive to some, I am just stating the term and I don't mean anything derogatory by it.

Because they think that if they disassociate themselves from their heritage and start acting like one of the 'good ole boys', eventually they will be accepted. I know lots of cops, and believe me, it doesn't earn them any more respect.\n\nI also noticed that most of the mexican fellas who call themselves white, end up marrying the ugliest blonde women.

Actually, they talk how others in their environment talk. I spoke with a southern accent for 12 years and moved to nevada, my accent was gone in a year. When I came back to the south I thought everyone spoke funny. Now i've got my accent back. Give people a break. If the worst thing they do is talk ghetto, that's awesome. Things could be worse.

Hi, I'm new to this service but when I saw your question I had to answer. Actually, I don't have an answer for you, sorry. I'm from New Orleans and I cant tell you how embarrassed all of the working people of this city are, as we watch the ghetto project leaches try to pull their crap in another city. All their life it's been nothing but hand outs for them and it created massively stupid, overweight, criminals that have babies at a record pace. This is not a black thing it's a welfare thing and it needs to stop now. I'm glad your city is playing hard ball, maybe they will finally learn. They all want to come home for the free ride again but, WE DONT WANT THEM BACK!!!   Just yesterday it got ugly again because we are tearing doun all the housing projects and it's no big secret we are not rebuilding the lower ninth ward.  Don't be afraid to speak up about the problems they cause because they do cause plenty, and it's not raciest to call them out on it. They will scream racism for anything and everything because that's all they know. I lived with this my whole life. Sorry, but it might be your turn for a while. Don't let Houston be a push over like New Orleans was for so many years. You don't owe them anything! They won't even appreciate it if you did. It's a total take take society.

i think your refering to bored little rich white Kids. Typically rich white kids act ghetto in order to get attention. They aren't getting it from mommy and daddy so they try to get it from society. It is negative attention but its still attention.

I speak standard English a go down to the hood all the time. I never had that problem no one will care. Well unless you start talking like Braxton on Jammie Fox. Or unless you talk in a way to make yourself seem better than that others then that's your problem. It you say things in away that were people interpret as trying to prove you better than some else. People will sense that your trying to use big words or talking in a way on propose to insult their intelligents.  I use proper English, I hear blacks who know nothing about me, talk in a manner to make is seems he's better than me where I found it a insult, an d I was giving him a interview. Stereotyping me, If you talk to anyone in a way to show your better than people they will find it a insult. If you can't relate to people then you can never reach them.

there's no such thing as black attitude.... you can say ghetto  attitude...all black people do not act ghetto...it just happens that many black people live in the ghetto and carry that ghetto attitude with them...yet there are black people who live in the suburb and don't act ghetto

Because homeless people are HILARIOUS. Have you ever seen Bum Fights? Oh my gosh, homeless people are always walking around with that meth-withdrawal alcohol stupor look on their face, they stink like a skunk that crawled out the bunghole of another skunk, and they generally just make themselves targets. Besides, it feels great to be able to be mean to people like that and then go home and soak in my spa.

They're trying to get on your nerves and annoy you. If someone does this, try rolling your eyes at them, it usually gets them back and makes them feel stupid and immature.
