By talkin "black" I think you mean using slang that has come about through hip hop, and since that's a predominantly black sub-culture, you think that only black people should talk this way, and if someone other than a black person does, they're speaking "black."
This is ignorant. If I had grown up around Scottish people, or listening to Scottish music when I was a kid, and I picked up some of the slang, would you have a problem? Or what about people who adopt British accents like Madonna?
Would you have the same problem with that?
Most of the time I see this question coming from people that don't feel comfortable speaking in that way themselves. Maybe it's not for you, but what is it to you if someone else does?
