Thanks, amj. I do see what you're saying. I've always found the slang fascinating. Black people seem to have done it all across the Americas. In Belize and all along the Caribbean coast of Central America, the black folks speak this mixture of thickly accented Creole English and thickly accented Spanish. Darned if I can understand what the heck they're saying half the time

Am I the only one who sees a problem with this? |
I don't see what you're saying, here. Did this happen to you? Or to someone you know? Are you saying the white people who are alive today put you through this? In my experience, the average white person in the U.S. doesn't go around doing this things; and in fact would find them horrific if they encountered them.
I don't think you have to fit in with white society, though.
