Why is it that White Americans Are so obsessed with what African Americans are doing all the time?

I mean it pisses me off to see countless whites asking why we (African American's) wear our clothes this way, why we talk that way, why is our name spelled this way. Or what about this "How do African American's think they're going to get respected with gold teeth, sagging pants and fouls mouths?" Leave us alone and engross your selves in your own culture or lack thereof...Could that be reason for your infatuation hmmm I wonder!!!

My guess is that many of them genuinely want to understand the culture better and have a better understanding of why people do things differently, and I think that's admirable. The others are probably just being a**holes.
Reply:Your question is the PRIME example for why there is so much hate and discontent between whites and blacks. Think about it for a minute and the answer will come to you, i'm sure.
Reply:They need to keep tabs on their property...I mean citizens, CITIZENS!!!





Don't let the horrid racists who troll this site give an impression of "white America". I lived in Virginia, only black family on the block. Very few racial incidents. The worse was my friends mom. Even the friend was disgusted.
Reply:because we don't know why you guys try as hard as you can to separate yourselves from everything else, like the black expo, ebony magazine, Ms. black usa, black entertainment television, African American (your just an American) when we do talk about our own culture many of you call us racists!?!


i don't understand why you think its weird we ask these questions
Reply:I don't care, im focusing on other culture groups. Similar to my own.
Reply:Are you saying all blacks have gold teeth, wear their pants sagging, and have foul mouths? You are just as bad by making a broad generalization about whites by grouping them soley based on race.
Reply:You have to remember that one culture's normal is another culture's weird. I'm Eastern Cherokee and find the whole gold teeth, sagging pants and foul mouths thing gross as well--that has nothing to do with just white people. When you do something, be prepared to explain why you do it to the dominant culture. I have to do that with some of our Cherokee customs, so get used to it.
Reply:I'm white and I'm not obsessed with that, those white people are racist; so are black people that say whites can't dance and have no butts, prejudice is just stupid.
Reply:OK, 1st off, white people do not lack cuture. We just do not have to display ours with cheap grillz and $50 gats. Secondly,I am not sure who you are talking about, but I do not care what black people are doing. HOWEVER%26lt; it is true that it is hard to respect someone with saggy clothes, gold teeth, etc. Inversely, it is equally hard to respect a person with dip in their mouths, flannel shirts, tight wranglers, and cowboy hats. It goes both ways!!
Reply:As a Black person, sometimes I am amazed at some of the "cultural norms" associated with young Black people. (My own son included). We have had numerous discussions regarding his clothing choices and his music choices (although I fully acknowledge that I cannot make his choices for him). Truthfully, I am equally fascinated by some of the norms associated with white America. I conclude that we should all live and let live and if a particular trend or choice offends or perplexes you, then don't make that choice for yourself.
Reply:Because white americans are usually police and African Americans are usually committing crime!
Reply:Because they don't take the time to understand who other people are I understand a little bit and my sisters boyfriend is Adrican American and we have a great friendship asking those questions is like aking people why they are white or why they eat like white people don't listen to them you are who you are and thats the way it is.
