Do monkey noises.
Just be yourself. Some people will consider that 'not black enough', but fuck them.

Don't try to be someone you're not, if you don't feel comfortable saying a specific word don't say it.
>>17144671
Best trips for mean comments.
g'night anon.

i would like to be comfortable saying the word because before i use to block it out. whereas now i kind of want to dilute it and be OK saying it.
it's not that i want to be someone i'm not
i just sound so tense while everybody sounds so relaxed with a certain cadence to it

You should teach them to communicate properly. I never understood why ebonics is accepted.
kinda sounds like you are forcing yourself to be with certain people just because its considered the norm for people of your race or whatever.. unless you really actually enjoy speaking with these people just drop them... and if you decide not to drop them just talk and act like you normally do, no need to change it for the sake of other people anon.

Dude ? what?
You are a nigger this should be second nature to you, I can go from people talk to Black talk in a second to talk to those monkeys easy
Are you mentally retarded or something? It is not that hard.

I grew up in a mixed family too but I've got white skin and blue eyes. My childhood was spent in a deep south ghetto, so I've pretty much got the same speech patterns.
No black people really gives a fuck about how you speak. Maybe some with think you speak "white" but it doesn't really matter. In fact, trying to imitate a culture that you're not integrated into is way worse. Just be friendly and act the way you usually do. No one will care. If anything, being fake is going to piss people off. And whatever you do, don't use "nigga".
hang around them if they will accept you, ebonics will become second nature when you are around them and you can switch when you are not around them easily
otherwise hang with the nerdy whites and be the token black friend
Im black, just be yourself im pretty sure they dont give a fuck about the way you talk and your overthinking it
