Acting, who the hell are you to judge anyone? In that case tell Lenny Kravitz to stop rocking, and take Hootie back too asshole. Are these black men "acting white?" Ben Harper plays folk music, damn people acting white. You are too wrapped up in being pissed off at other people than to do something for yourself. You are not a fucking victim.

what the fuck does "acting white" or "acting black" mean? you mean to tell me white and black people can only act one way? if cultures didnt mesh, you fucking idiots, we'd all still be in caves about now.

since 8 mile came out not ALL WHITE BOYS suddenly think they're the shit, i know of people who hate that movie and couldnt care less about hip-hop, and the kids who suddenly start acting like they are the shit are gonna be 16 and under anyway. and 16 years olds know precisely fuck-all about life and are still growing as people, so who cares what they do?

let me tell you readers something, i live in merseyside, which has recently been named culture capital of europe for 2008 because of the huge variety of culture that mesh there, i've been listening to hip-hop for a long time, i listen to rock, punk, grunge, r'n'b and dance as well. this is because i'm an open minded motherfucker and am not restricted by the fucking idiots on this board and in real life who believe your skin colour means you have to act in a certain way.

people are individuals with the freedom of choice, stop trying to regulate them.

and fuck the herb who made this thread.

i disagree for the most part of what this cat is saying.

1. what nowadays constitutes as gangster rap has evolved, and i would hardly refer to it as "gangster"
2. do you know what it means to sag your pants? it's not because those growing up in the ghetto had to wear their big bro's pants, it started in prison and not because you don't have belts. Inmates who were *ahem* "available" sagged there pants as a sign, and after being released continued with the fad.
3. I'm with kgm, How can someone act black or act any color for that matter. because I eat a carne asada burrito does that mean I'm acting mexican? and if you're rockin skater shoes, you must be acting white. how narrow minded is it to think you can only act the stereotype you fall under. what about us mixed folks? are we suppose to act mixed? growing up I was never african american enough nor was I islander enough, so how should I act?
4. everyone struggles with prejudice now a days. don't act so suppressed. and this site is guilty of prejudice, all the cats who talk shit about peoples pic, and I'm sure you're one of them.
5. "doing illegal shit to survive, and these cats are not even doing it right"... so your saying if a white guy "acting black" would involve in illegal activity, he be doing it right? way to bring the culture down.
6. I quit spitting for awhile and only now am I getting back into it. I came on here because it's a pastime for me, I'm not serious. This is a good way to express and develop, but those cats who are serious, wouldn't be on here, they would be in the studio or doing shows.

sorry to flood the thread with such a long post, but I had to state my opinion.
