J2911 : No matter what I say you're just going to go against it. I said culture appropriation, but that answer wasn't good enough. There are high school girls that try to look like Cardi B and talk like Cardi B, but they're as white as all get out.

@Summerbreeze : No, I'm not. Cardi B looks ridiculous to me just like Kim K. If a white girl is wearing weaves, fake nails, lashes, a face full of makeup and has a BBL, that has nothing to do with cultural appropriation. That has everything to do with low self esteem and mimicking what they see in the media, regardless of the race of the person they're emulating.

J2911 : They're emulating black women. Everyone knows that.

@Summerbreeze : WOW.

J2911 : Ask a black woman yourself, instead of quizzing me, unless you don't have any black friends. My best friend is a black woman.

@Summerbreeze : Quizzing you???????? Are you serious????? We can't have a conversation without you thinking you're being quizzed????? You made a statement you knew was controversial, I asked you about it and you think that's quizzing all because we don't agree? Goodness gracious! What does having black friends have to do with any of this?

J2911 : how do you know what's emulating black women? You're a white person just guessing **** not knowing how **** really is.

@Summerbreeze : I don't care what color you are nor do I care to assume. Saying white kids "act black" is problematic. I don't care if you are black and have 10 black best friends. But clearly you know the statement is problematic, which is why you said you'd probably get roasted for it but didn't care. Why you're getting so up in arms about someone questioning you about a controversial statement you admitted to making is beyond me.

J2911 : Kids dress and act and dress up like their favorite celebrities. It's human nature and part of our culture.

Jonn : Of course they do. That has nothing to do with the original statement of "white kids acting black".

J2911 : We can agree to disagree.

@Summerbreeze : Absolutely! I have no issue with that at all. It's life.

J2911 : Well if a white kid loves black celebrities he might emulate them and vice versa.

Jonn : I can agree with that. But doesn't mean he is "acting black" or "acting white". It means he's emulating a celebrity. To say otherwise is to suggest that all white people or all black people "act" the same. That's simply not true and a generalization.

J2911 : Are you trying to say different ethnicities don't have common behaviors, language and/or slangs, or clothing trends, hairstyles etc that they don't see as part of their cultural identity?

MissAmericanPie : Read my comments to see what I said and not trying to say. I'm not regurgitating this. I don't do overly broad generalizations. That's the problem with society now.
