Explain what? How stereotypical black people speak/dress/act? How white guys trying to act black act (disgraceful)? Turn on MTV or BET for an explanation.
Let me know if you need any further interpretation.

I falsely assumed that you are college educated enough to be able to answer my question without directing me to cable television.

Which is not necessarily the same thing as saying someone is "speaking and dressing like black people." The stereotype of what "black is" existed long before there was cable television.
So if bows simply meant to say that misguided whites (and blacks) are emulating stereotypical media images of what "black is" then that's what bows should've said. I don't know if that's what his/her MTV and BET post was trying to address because he/she was too busy dancing around my question.

But that urban dress/action is "popular" black culture. I mean, we obviously realize all black people don't act/dress that way, but it is not just the media who portrays it that way. The black community supports and puts that image out as well. I imagine he referenced MTV and BET because those things influence young people, and the channels have taken on that urban style which kids emulate.

This obvious point is the only good thing that will come out of this dialogue.

Regardless, it is quite common for them to act and dress that way, especially in the south.
