This article called "This is not a black thing" to me means that slang is used by different people in different racial groups. people use slang in different ethnic groups to perform there variates of slang. Many people think that slang is a primary source that people use in every day life, and to me slang is often use in every day life, and not just one kind of slang, but a variates of slang that is used amongst people. people say racial slurs like " y u tryna be black", which is often offensive to people, as Bakari Kitwana (author of "why white kids love hip-hop") says that "suburban kids forge there own identities through hip-hop culture, and often mean no offense by claiming "ghetto styles". I for one believe that this quote that was stated by Bakari Kitwana was true because, many people think that they don't offend you by claiming hip-hop but hip-hop is not something that is only used by African Americans,people may believe that but the truth is, language that you speak can be chosen upon your self, it isn't you're decision to choose whether or not someone speaks a certain language because it's there opinion, just like you have the opinion to speak the way you do they have the right to speak how they won't to speak; and it also depends on the enviorment that you live in and just a matter of opinion to the slang that you speak.
