You sucking at a) humor and b) imitating slang doesn't make other people racists.
You're clearly (and poorly) imitating slang stereotypically associated with black people.
If I start talking about shooting choo eses and cholos, it's going to be associated with Mexican people.
It doesn't make you racist, it makes you familiar with pop culture.

The vernacular used by anyone is only indicative of the societal niche in which it is prevalent. I have heard many white/asians/arab/etc. people talk in that way and they all have the common property of being a 'thug.' What makes it racist by you is that you are applying a single racial profile to the slang of a subculture which holds many races. By saying "you are talking like a black person" you are implying all black people talk like that and only black people talk like that. It is not on the same level of white supremacists, but yes it is in fact racist. If you can't see how it is then I am sorry.

Being aware of stereotypes isn't racist.

That is correct; however, applying stereotypes to profile a race is. It is the same as stating all black people eat watermelon and fried chicken and drink malt liquor. Those are all stereotypes and when you apply them as some sort of factual backing, you are guilty of racism. You are sounding more and more ignorant trying to argue this clear case and just digging your hole deeper. Just take the graze on the cheek and move on.

so are you threatening to contact my real life employer and fuck with my livelihood?
Wow, that's really not cool Man. Not even funny. Not one bit.

Relax Dredge. I am just giving you a hard time. I have better things to do than contact your new employer with a random comment about you from a random internet forum. I am just poking fun at you to get a rise out of you. I don't make it a mission of mine to go out and mess with other people's lives for no real reason.
Also, I don't generally talk like thug on these forums. That was one drunken night when I felt like being silly. It is funny that, despite my other posts, those are the only ones you are considering.
