Why Do So Many White Kids Pretend To Be Ghetto Hood Rats?

[Cock Throppled]

What’s the appeal of black ghetto culture for white people?

Just ran into a snotty 15-year-old white kid who you’d swear grew up in the projects in Harlem.

Why do kids think it’s cool to talk like they’re black, and adopt the slang, accents, idioms, music, fashion and behaviour?

The trend of fat asses supposedly being desirable to men has been accepted and promoted because a high proportion of black men such as Kanye West (and the subsequent marketing of the Kardashians) seem to like over-large, disproportionate asses on women. We see the trend on leolist with pictures of SP’s with huge asses, either real or photoshopped.

White people have driven the saturation of hip hop culture with its resultant annoying rap music, violent imagery and smack talk.

I just don’t see the appeal of the worst aspects of a culture. Is there some explanation why so many young white people (and many Canadian kids, to boot) try to pretend to be ghetto black?

They idolise guys who get rich by being loudmouth assholes. So they act like loudmouth assholes and dress stupid too.
They want to be rebels, but not in any way that requires actual risk or effort.
Let them have their fun, reality will soon crush them once they get out of their parent's basement and try getting a job.

Brainwashing by the video/song medias of today. They grew up on gangster rap, therefore their world view is skewered.... They like the song and the beat, but you have to hear the message.. most kids don't know that....

Dont worry us old folks also got brainwashed by the songs of our youth... I thunk mine should be " If I had a rocket laucher...."

They don't know how to use white privilege to score with women. How sad.

As Bono said, rap is the new rock n roll, the voice of the disenfranchised youth. It's the same dynamic as when we were young, just the trappings have changed.

Now you know how our parents truly felt about those long haired hippies (adjust analogy to whatever was going on in your youth).

I was in Lamlies Western wear, and there was this white kid standing at the belt rack, hat on backwards, gold hanging from his fingers and pinned to his face......and his pants three sizes to big and hanging around his ankles.
His freaking hairy plumbers crack wasn't being hid from view ,with his designer underwear.....amyways, like I said, he was at the belt rack, looking at the leather belts.....he reached out and grabbed one, and bent over to hike up his jeans to lace it through the belt loops....when that happened.....I swore I heard angels singing.
Being the asshole cowboy I am, I reached out to the young man, and said..." That device is used to keep your pants up, so you don't trip over them....and fall like a fool in front of my truck while in the crosswalk"

It's not just the music, it's talking like they just stepped out of Compton. Some black people who have gone on to business careers have taken elocution lessons to remove the ghetto sound so they sound more professional, and white kids go out of their way to sound uneducated. Go figure.

Trying to be cool, I guess...

Exactly. I was sitting outside a pizza joint waiting for my order when a Caucasian and an Asian kid greeted each other with the special handshake with five different moves. My reaction was how do you remember that and you know you are in a Vancouver suburb, right?

Sure there's lots of cross cultural stuff but that comes across as fake to me.

Is each part of the handshake a sign or statement of a conversation. Did they clamp hands together 4 or 5 times. etc ???
