White People Who Speak Street
Folks, there are some people (usually white) who think that when speaking to urban (usually black) people, they need to:
I'll chop each of these down one by one, but first things first. Normally, these seriously out-of-touch people are usually white. Typically, they vote Republican. They like things such as Yoga, Ciabatta sandwiches, and helping the less fortunate, meaning minorities, though they never actually go down to the shelters to volunteer. They are the most smug people ever. Lemme give these folks some words of advice: if you want to conquer a challenge, try living as black people live and see how long it takes you to become embarrassed at how Caucasian (as well as Asians, the new racists) people treat and/or see black people. You'd be the man for real for seeing things how we do every day!
Exhibit A:
What the typical street-wise white person looks like. You did get that bit of sarcasm, didn't you??
The thing about speaking street is that there are subtleties to the words that are important to remember as far as enunciation. White people promptly ignore this and pronounce it properly, for example, black folks commonly have a grandmother they refer to as "Big Mama". When white people attempt to say it, they say several variations such as:
When spoken with perfect enunciation, the words will have little to no effect when spoken to blacks except roaring laughter. Please don't forget to say the words the way black people do if you want any credibility or risk about a 10 minute session of laughter courtesy of you.
I would go more into the last bullet point, but the extreme sense of pride people not of the culture has already been covered (and smothered), so I'll forego that one. My point is if you're gonna try to relate to/insult/act superior to me, could you maybe possibly try to use slang from the 2000's? I know Urbandictionary is a great source of more current slang than what you're attempting to use, so check them out, homie!
- Feel a sense of pride for conquering a challenge of trying to learn a new "language", one old-ass slang word at a time
- Constantly prove that they're "down" by saying phrases that made their debut in the (early) 1990's, yet use perfect enunciation to make the words have less effect when spoken and sound more like a tight-ass white man from the 'burbs than a homie from around the way
- Use Ebonics to become smug in their arrogance as now they can perpetrate like they're better able to speak to those common foul-mouthed ruffians (Lol yeah I said it) should others have need of a translator and cops aren't available
