I noticed the whole bus thing too. I found it strange.
A question about the African-American teen culture?

I currently go to a racially diverse school, with many different cultures, and people. This may be just where I live, so i'm not trying to say this happens everywhere but...
A few questions:
Why do black teens act differently around other black kids, then they do around white kids or in the classroom? There is a distinct difference in dialect, and behavior between the two. You often here a group of black teens speaking in "slang", or at a faster pace then with others.
(I've only seen a difference in blacks)
And the next question is, Why do blacks sit in the back of the bus? I always thought there was this huge deal about Rosa Parks not being able to sit in the front of the bus. Now all the black kids sit in the back? ~weird~
Woah! Sorry about the stereotyping, I meant to say many kids. I know a lot of kids don't do anything I have describes, but enough do for it to be noticed that's all. Sorry!

Racism is dead in America. You should come by to Russia and see how THEY treat each other.

I can understand acting and talking differently aroung each other, Hispanics, Asians and the like do the same thing, it's just blacks do not have their own language. As for the back of the bus thing???????

Its a cultural thing, for me I see another black person and something in me just gets happier, like they understand me. So I feel comfortable and can act anyway I want with them without the judgement.
