Oh, here's an idea for a meme...

Let's propogate a black person's phone number across LJ, so we can laugh at how they talk!

wow. how white of you.

they choose to speak that way to distance themselves from white people that think they're high-and-mighty but in actuality still hold on to a stale racism that should have been forgotten ages ago

Which just gives the bigots all that much more ammo to work with. It's like ... stabbing yourself to spite the bully. You're just doing his work for him.

Cosby hit the nail on the head. Yes.. there *are* smart black people... duh. There also happen to be a fuckload of idiotic "black youts" (just as many as there are white) who think that the stupider they act, the cooler they are. They get nowhere in life and then they're bitter and angry about it once it's too late. The difference is, whites have no scapegoat. There's no "transparent man keeping the white man down," or anything. People are responsible for their own futures and in this day and age, there's little besides themselves "keeping them down."

I don't know what you're talking about with the phone number thing. Sounds stupid.
