a). Most of the posts are actually phonetic spellings of gangster quotes from movies. The best part was that I was actually mostly phonetically quoting British gangster movies. There is definitely some Lock, stock and two smoking barrels in my posts. So now you are an idiot as well as a racist.
b). This is just more racism and you sound like an idiot.
c). Being black wasn't an issue until you brought it into the equation. I really don't see how you are not getting this. You saw race when it wasn't a factor and despite it not being a factor you are still trying to make it a factor. You must be in some heavy denial if you can't even see that you are coming off as a bigot.
d). My analogy is actually spot on. I can provide another one in your theme though. How about this? Some butt hurt dweeb gets upset because he got called out for his racist views on life. He tried to imply that a clearly more rational and more handsome poster was attempting to talk like a black person when in fact that dashing rogue was trying to imitate a British thug.
e). Seriously, stop. You are embarrassing yourself and I don't want this to turn into another Dredge debacle.

LOL. Yeah dawg, you were totally quoting British gangster movies. Who could ever forget the IMDB immortalized Lock Stock and Barrel quotes, like:
"Shit be crazy".
"Thug lyfe ways, thug lyfe living".
"Dis shit righ here?"
"Why you gotta be frontin like that?"
and of course, "F*ck you cracka!"
Oh wait, that was all in the post I responded to and NOT Lock Stock and Barrel? Pretty close though, I bet. I really do have to watch British gangster movies more often.
Here's your problem Lexical: the shitty impression of "thugs" that you were doing isn't based on some organic "thug" dialect reserved for gang-bangers of all races on all continents. It's based on African American Vernacular English. Just like calling people 'eses' and 'cholos' is associated with Mexican gangsters because those words have Spanish meaning, using terms like 'dis' and 'dat' and using the verb 'be' as in "shit be crazy" and "why you gotta be frontin" is associated with AA vernacular. If you had mentioned a group of bashers taking the piss out of a blue, people may have associated your impression with the British.
But in your abundant ignorance, you chose to use diction that is clearly derived from African American vernacular -- and then attribute it to people of all races sharing the common property of being 'thugs'.
Anyway, I'm detracting from the point which was that your impressions sucked and you're not funny. If calling me a racist mitigates your shame, knock yourself out.
