I Hate it When People Say “He talks like a black person”...

     What the fuck does that even mean?  I actually understand what they mean but hey, way to throw a blanket statement on an entire race!  Heads up…not EVERY black person talks like that.  What else am I supposed to call it you ask…how about “street talk” or “ghetto”…but really “like a black person”, that’s just an ignorant statement.  Yes, there are SOME black people that talk ghetto but guess what I’ve ran across just as many White people, Asian people, Hispanic people and even East Indian people that talk "ghetto"…so black people aren’t the only ones that talk this way.  Believe me this isn’t just a one sided argument, I think it’s stupid when somebody says “he sounds like a white person.”  This is just as much of an idiotic statement as the other one.  Pull your head out of your ass people.  Am I trying to be politically correct…FUCK NO, I’m just calling it like I see it.  I once read a quote that went something like this, “The color of your skin doesn’t determine what comes out of your mouth”, I couldn’t agree more.  Just because a black male or female who speaks proper English and doesn’t drop an F bomb every 3^rd word, they sound like a white person and vice versa, if you’re a white male or female and you use the word “dis” instead of “this” or “ax” instead of “ask” and other ghetto slang and curse words you talk like a black person.  Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?  I’ll bet you all one hundred dollars of my next pay check that if I blind fold you and bring in a total of 12 men and women, 6 that talk ghetto, and 6 that speak proper English that you would not be able to tell which ones are black and which ones are white.  As a matter of fact if you even get half of them correct I’ll give you the pay check AND let you kick me in the balls just to shut me the hell up!!!

      If you were raised with a good education and a great home life no matter what color your skin is, talking like you’re from the ghetto ain’t going to get you street cred, you just look like a fake, wannabe, and really, who wants to be poor, broke and living on the streets?   If you really want to live that life and gain some real street cred, then leave mommy and daddy’s home and all the clothes they bought you, the car they let you drive, the bed they let you sleep in and the food they provide for you, and go to the nearest homeless shelter and grab yourself some cardboard and live it up.  As a matter of fact offer to trade places with the 1^st person you run into at the homeless shelter or living on the streets, I’m about 100% sure they’d be OK with switching places with you.  Hey, look at you now, you’re broke, you’re homeless, you’re starving and you don’t know where you’re going to sleep tonight…but at least now have some street cred!  Go on wich yo badself!!
