I don't want to come across as brash but... no shit. I am fully aware that not every single black and white person on this Earth all behave in that way, and I am not pretending to speak for the entirety of the white race.

I live in Los Angeles, where I am in contact with plenty of black people. It only sounds close minded because of the way you interpreted it. I tried really hard to cover all of my bases in the OP by explaining that I am aware of how it can be taken the wrong way, but I guess it didn't work. It was inevitable that when dealing with this sort of topic someone would pettifog the issue by calling me bigoted, close-minded, racist, etc. I assure that is not the case, regardless of how it might have come across. So let's please discuss the topic, and not what you think of me as a person.

Oh shit he just played the ignorance card!

No, not what I think personally. I am fully aware of how "blackness" is being perpetuated in the media. That's what I'm talking about, white people acting black as seen in the media, not whether or not they're portraying black people accurately.

Like I've said before in this thread, some of my best friends are black, though I think every race of people can potentially have some of the most humble, compassionate, and fun people you meet. No point in making such a general sweeping statement.

Totally not what I meant by that statement, but thanks for the science lesson.
