When you imitate ANYTHING its called a wanna-be... Nobody wants to be black/white by the way they talk or dress,its imitating a "hiphop" lifestyle,I know just as many rich black kids they try to act "street" like white kids...To me,if you arent "gangsta" no matter what color you are.you shouldnt do it...I grew up on the outskirts of Harlem,you wont believe how many white kids are ACTUALLY the "street,hiphop" persona...You cant distinguish a lifestyle with a color,BOTTOMLINE

The point wasn't really missed. It remains that many of them in their own little minds wanna be considered 'black' whatever the fuck that means. It isn't enough for them to live the life they wanna be considered 'black' too. Odd but true. There may or may not be many on the outskirts of Harlem but there certainly are on the outskirts of London. Yes they imitate the lifestyle but like I say - in their minds they wanna have the colour too.
