Why do white people try to act black?

im not trying to be racist but why do white people try to act black?

Some do, yes, but I also know black people who try to act white. It works both ways.

depends how they were borught up,where they go to school (as in who they hang out with)

stephanie is right
there also black people who try to act white
many different people from many different countries all try to act like someone else
it happens everywere
not just with white people
some times it could be just to look/sound/act cool
...as part of a lable or sterotype
white people might want to be part of a gang and act black, thinking its badass
they could just like black people more
they might want to be black, ect
theres many different reasons
but theres no one reason for why everyone does it
they all have there own reasons

welll it looks like you try to act black also

Because you know how most of them sing those rap songs. And there kinda the gangsta ones. Well other pples act like them because they think its cool and they want to be gangster just like them! Or they just like the songs.

Because black is the new white.

I think it is because they don't know who they are. so any group or sterotype that is around they will try to fit in. They need to figure it out and learn how to be themselves and people will except them without them having to put in so much effort, Your question is like asking Why are people guy? Why do people dress in goth, or a skater or a punker, or biker, get my point, you are who you are and you choose who you want to be, but don't be fake

I don't know...but it's very amusing...from an Australian point of view.

Hunterskates, you and others who ask such questions fail to recognize the wasted energy you expel concerning people of different colors. It's great that our creator God placed it in the spirit of Michael Jackson in the lyrics of one of his songs I.e. Dangerous, where he sings I'm not going to spend My life being a color. Color does not make a person, good character does. Concentrate on the credible things life has to offer.
