NEVER would I credit my use of correct grammar and whatnot to being a 'white thang.' Giiirrrl, please!

Yep, I guess I missed ya. So, I think you're saying that the way they enunciate certain words and use differnet speech patterns is what you'd call talking white vs what I thought you meant as using proper grammer, etc. That's probably more along the lines of what TOA was saying. Why do I feel that we've beat the hell out of this topic? Thanks for the clarification. I should have know that your thoughts were not in that direction!
