This is why black folks can't win. It's because of the white MORONS around who always worry about what the fuck they're saying...If you talk "too black", people say that you're speaking ebonics and that you need to get an education...If you talk "too white", people say that she needs to stop "acting white"
A couple of weeks ago, people on this very board were saying that Oprah acts "too white" and "not like a real black person" because of how she talked....
This quote came from this very thread right here.

Now YOU come along to bitch because she wants to use popular phrases that were coined by the black community and you get pissed because of it...Well guess what chump? THEY'RE BLACK! They're allowed to use slang from their own fucking community without some white person who doesn't know his ass from his mouth criticizing them for using it.
If you're really trying to say that saying "you go girl" is "ghetto" then you're an idiot.....They say shit like that in MAINSTREAM television...How many times have I heard white kids saying "bling bling" on television? Countless times...
Oprah Winfrey was raised POOR...DIRT POOR.....I don't know how Tyra Banks was raised but she should be allowed to talk anyway the fuck she wants to...
Why don't you just shut the fuck up and quit worrying about what rich black women want to do? Just because you get scared when you're around loud black women doesn't mean you have the right to try to change the world...Go worry about all of the WHITE women that are using the very same phrases and nitpick what they do...But that would be too hard wouldn't it?
