What is the real reason white people act black?

For some reason some white people find it comforting to emulate some black people. When you call them out on it the responses are usually "I have black friends or I grew up in urban areas or the hood". We all know hip hop was a major influence on this mainly due to artists discussing the harsh realities of their lifestyle growing up in the hood. I'm not trying to place people in a different categories but think about this... black people have been like this for a long time it's just the way we are. Talking slang or ebonics wasn't a trend. It was because their were people that were illiterate which is not something to look up to or admire. The way we walk isn't a trend its having a natural rhythm. Aside from talking slang the way we speak isn't a trend it's something we were born with. The way black people are should not be a trend for white people especially those from the suburbs to put on a front and like they're so down. Why is do some white people act this way?
