Pondering Life

<p>I've currently been thinking a lot deeper into the meaning of life, why people behave the way they do, and in general I've just been observing and pondering. Anyways, I had some questions about some of the observations I've made the past couple of weeks, and I decided to create a thread that will help my questions be answered and maybe even open other peoples' minds. </p>

<p>Why is it that when I'm at my local park playing basketball, I'm more inclined to talk to others in a fashion that would be inappropriate almost anywhere else. I assume all of you can imagine how people at basketball courts speak (hint: very inappropriate language)</p>

<p>However, when I am anywhere else, I speak in a proper fashion without using inappropriate language, and maybe even speaking in a fashion that would be associated with a higher level of education. Also, why is it that MOST black people and MOST white people have such different methods of talking? MOST black people would talk as I stated previously previously. However, MOST white people would talk by saying, "hello, how have you been doing? [proper handshake]...oh, good shot you homo sapien, the 45 degree and you shot the ball was just totally awesome!!!</p>

<p>*Most is the keyword here...</p>

<p>Now, I'm not hating on anyone, nor am I a racist. I am just writing about what I have personally observed, and I would like to have educated responses to this. Please forgive me if I have offended anyone. That was NOT my intention.</p>

<p>Hmmm, not sure why you pretend like you’re black whenever you play basketball. Everyone has weird idiosyncracies. </p>

<p>As for the way “most black people talk,” I believe you are talking about “ebonics,” YoungProdigy. Let me give you an unhelpful Wiki link: [Ebonics</a> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebonics]Ebonics”>Ebonics - Wikipedia)
And a slightly more helpful urban dictionary link: [Urban</a> Dictionary: ebonics](<a href=“http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ebonics]Urban”>Urban Dictionary: ebonics)</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>
