I feel sad for you.
feel sad for the blacks who are in jail b/c they are taught to think a certain way, feel sad for the white youth following that mentality that are also in jail. feel sad for the hurt that goes on in the black community b/c they won't admit that it's SOME of their own menalities that cause these troubles.

White people are capable of fu*king up all on their own, you can't blame black culture for that.

how can a black person "try" to act white if they are around whites all the time, or raised by a white parent, or have majority white friends? kinda silly, don't you think. i knew of people in general, that when they were around another person for a long while, they started to sound just like them, and those are just friends who happen to be closer and i've noticed the change in accent and speed and sometimes, tone...i actually find your statement a bit racist, but racism is such a variable, it really doesn't matter b/c it's relative, what one person sees as racist, such as the comment made by Imus, someone else may not see it that way.
explain how someone can act white

What statistic do you have that says black people do not care? You skipped your other points also.Still asking for some proof.
just going by the general consesus from all the black listeners whom call in and speak on his show, not to mention the large black demographic that are his fans.
what points did i skip that i diddnt already state as a personal view?

Well...what the hell ISNT racist these days?Listen I am a black guy and I agree with that. I mean c'mon already, people so damn sensitive nowadays and ready to start a jihad over anything. Damn what the hell happened to this beautiful country? One upon a time folks said what they felt and made no apologies about it.
Meanwhile that fat bastard Al SHarpton is trying to grease himself off of this whole media frenzy(besides black-on-white racism of course..because that doesnt happen, ever)

okay, your probably right. Howerd stern doesnt have a large following of fans whom happen to be black. I dont have patience to search for dumb ass statistic polls highlighting howerd sterns black fan base following. So here....Assumed black demographic fan base.

that's what i tried to explain, someone isn't "acting" white if they are around people who are white and talk and sound like them, or if one parent is white, they aren't "acting" like anything, they are just behaving as anyone would if they were around a particular group, since there are more whites, and there are plenty of minorities who are around whites, i don't jump the ship and assume the are "acting", i assume that they talk and walk and act the way they do based on their peer or what use to be their peer group or one parent (other family member).
Here is my take on the matter, and I don't care if anyone agrees.
Take two recent situations. The Imus comment about the Rutgers women's bball team and that Sanjaya dude on American Idol who is clearly singing at a lower talent level than others who have already been kicked off.
Rather than bait himself now that the country is watching, once his suspension is up Imus will probably avoid many black guests who may have a bone to pick with him. On American Idol, Simon isn't an idiot. He realizes many might see his view of Sanjaya as racist, whether or not he thinks he doesn't deserve to be there because of his lack of singing talent. Next year, to avoid this dilemma, I will be willing to bet that no one makes it "through" to the final 24 that isn't white or black.
It's a subtle form of segregation, and both "sides" are to blame for it.

people always have a tendancy to act like the group of peers they are around.
its not acting if you were raised that way, that's just like telling a white preson stop "acting" white, it's stupid, and just b/c someone's skin color is different doesn't mean they are "acting" if they were around whites all their life, or if they have a parent who is white, it's not ACTING. Their tone and way of talk and walk is part of how they were raised, and just b/c it reminds you of whites doesn't mean they are acting.
that's something some people do in order to say "just act white" if they see a minority around whites and have similiar tone and attitude, from the outside looking in, the only thing they see is "they are acting white" but with a lot of other things, they are wrong and misunderstand, left with a pang of frustration and then wonder "why".

i can see a lot of whites more hesitant to be around blacks or people who state certain things, and then charge it against you if you say it, if they aren't around blacks and the like, they never will "overhear" anything, i first heard the word ****** from blacks while in Brooklyn, the blacks didn't believe me (they knew i came from a white school and neighborhood and would make fun of me), and i was serious, never heard that word until blacks said it. so, i don't blame whites if they are hesitant to have black friends, just to be stabbed in the back for saying the same thing blacks say when they feel comfortable. all this stuff about hair, i never heard it from whites, i heard it from blacks. i don't have nappy hair, but curly, and i heard all the categories about hair from blacks, not whites. and the ones who messed my hair up in school, BLACK FEMALES. recently, like 3 years ago, i recall talking to a black fe about my hair, she misunderstood that i was thinking my hair was better then hers, and she wonders why i don't talk to her anymore, i say "hi" but that's it. i don't have a lot of low self esteem, i don't need to put someone down in order to feel good about myself, my esteem is just fine regardless of the crap i went through, and regardless of the things i disapprove of about myself and the looks, i may disapprove of the look, but not of myself, those things are separate.
I saw this story on FOX news whilst channel hopping
what the **** does nappy headed mean?
i know what a "ho" is but whats the Nappy Head bit about
is it a hairstyle?
i thought the majority of black chicks wore wigs
obv its black slang and another case of a term thats " ok for us to say but not you whitey"
i remember hearing it in a rap track years ago but dont recall anyone kicking up a stink then
