Its because white ppl dont talk jive. [:-] I have several black players on my AAU bball team and they act different to the rest of the team (white ppl). They call me a dumb cracka when I have an off game and I call them jive ass turkey mother fu*%#@s when they mess up. Yes I occasionally speak jive even though Im a tall white kid from Northern MI. I have adapted to my black team mates and they have adapted to me.
