it's true...it spreads...in my local high school right now 90% of the hockey team is white and they speak like kids in harlem. really bad. i'm far from hating on races, but i think we should really teach kids (everyone) to talk somewhat decent these days.

By talkin "black" I think you mean using slang that has come about through hip hop, and since that's a predominantly black sub-culture, you think that only black people should talk this way, and if someone other than a black person does, they're speaking "black."
This is ignorant. If I had grown up around Scottish people, or listening to Scottish music when I was a kid, and I picked up some of the slang, would you have a problem? Or what about people who adopt British accents like Madonna?
Would you have the same problem with that?
Most of the time I see this question coming from people that don't feel comfortable speaking in that way themselves. Maybe it's not for you, but what is it to you if someone else does?

the white kids in today's middle class love them some rap music, and black people invented rap music..
its just kids being influenced by the music they listen to..
i am a prime example, i mean, my MSN name states that i've been out hustling hustlers since 2004.. but i just got that out of a rap song.. that some black guy made.. and now im talkin all black and crazy and i dont know whats next?!

yeah, most of the people I've seen who are adopting the modern, popular form of "jive" are rich-ass white folks who are rarely ever around nor care to be around black people.
These people are adopting a slang not from a familiar culture but from pop-culture and that is where it is a bit sad.

Reardelss of your love for a genre of music it's the theft of language and culture thus making it not unique and almost a mockery of itself.,
IE. old navy ads where white people use prison speak "fos hizzle" etc.I like diversity but that's just me.
