Why do some people think that when black girls speak proper English we are acting white it's like saying blacks are supposed to be ghetto and whites are the ones who are supposed to be the brains?

Answer 1

== == * It's pure ignorance and a 'red neck' mentality when someone feels a black woman should speak like she lives in the ghetto. There are many black women who speak perfect English with excellent etiquette and some black women with French or English accents. However, some of the poor black population feel that if 'one of their own' has an opportunity to get an education or to better themselves they seem to resent it because they feel left behind and therefore some blacks can torment their own kind that have received a better education. Some Caucasians may be narrow minded and feel that all black people are from the ghetto which is just not true. Don't let it get to you. Remember, the unintelligent and ignorant have to have a picture drawn for them to figure it all out! Just don't hang around such people and you have the freedom to choose your friends and kick the others to the curb. * It is total ignorance. They probably don't have much of a life going if concern themselves with how someone talks. There IS a lot of ignorance in this world so just be yourself and ignore the stupidity. * I think the people who say that are prejudice and most people are these days...so ignore them...
