WHY IS TALKING PROPER CONSIDERED TALKING WHITE AND WHY IS TALKING IMPROPER CONSIDERED TALKING BLACK? AND IF YOU ACCUSE SOMEONE OF ONE ARE YOU SUPPORTING THE OTHER? I USED TO ACCUSE MY SISTER OF TALKING AND ACTING WHITE FOR A LONG TIME TIL I MATURED AND LEARNED HOW THINGS WORKED IN THE REAL WORLD, MORE SO THE CORPORATE WORLD. NOW PEOPLE COULD MAKE THE SAME ACCUSATION ABOUT ME IF THEY DONT REALLY KNOW ME OR HOW I CAME UP. UNTIL WE STOP ACCUSING PEOPLE WHO TALK AND ACT PROFESSIONALLY OF TRYING TO BE WHITE WE CANT BE UPSET AT PEOPLE SAYING THOSE WHO SPEAK IMPROPER OR EMBRACE THE HIPHOP CULTURE ARE ACTING BLACK OR GHETTO.

This is a great question and you make an excellent point. I exalt you!
I call this the "overseer" mentally. During slavery, there was one slave whose job consisted of "telling" master on the other slaves. In other, the overseer helped keep other black folks in slavery.
There are black folks who are so caught up in the idea of "getting ahead" or "getting their paper" that they spend a lot of time worrying about or putting down other black folks to make themselves feel better.
As long as you aren't a criminal and are employed taking care of home, you can talk or act any dayum way you please - cause you better believe I am.
