What do people mean when they are talking white or black?
When someone says one is talking white they mean that they are talking proper or correctly. When one is talking white they are talking correct english. In this world talking white or "standard english" gets you a lot of places. Most people talk that way to accomplish what that they have to do in the modern world. When someone says one is talking black, they mean ignorant or incorrectly. Blacks have always been protrayed as ignorant or illiterate therefore not capable of talking standard english. When people says that you are talking black they mean you are talking ingnorant. Personally I feel that standard english is just speaking correctly. It shouldn't be known as talking white.Talking white makes it seem that only white people talk that way. Anyone can speak standard english.
