I don't mean to sound racist, but don't most African Americans talk in a different type of way? So when they say you sound white, they might mean you don't use -->

I think black people can talk in two different ways. In school, at work, etc, they adopt regular English, and then around friends/family, they talk with more slang

As with anybody.

As with any other race...I dont talk with slang around my family, my parents are too African

I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I'm just stating facts.

Noooo

Honestly, I think it's funny, 'cause sounding 'black' (Ebonics) originates from "white people" if you truly wish to be technical. They originally spoke broken English, the slaves adopted the form in which it was spoken. Let's not forget that they were stripped from their homeland (where they had their own language and accent) to this country. Sounding "white" in that sense doesn't really exist. It's speaking properly, plainly and simply.

If by "type of way" you're referring to that twang (accent), that's still intrinsically "white" lol Sounding "white" isn't proper at all, 'cause those ninjas back then sounded country as can be. It's kinda insulting, actually
