Though I've never lived in the black ghetto, sometimes I feel like I have to run away from it --and that it follows me! lol
At times, I'll talk to someone and they'll add some "Girl!" phrase at me. Or they'll say something ebonics-like as if I'm "down". Also, I see them doing this to other black girls.
Not enough time to develop this. But I find it curious and wonder how to gently inform certain people that they are not deemed 'cool' in my eyes by talking like that.

I hate when people do that. I look politely bemused, let the comment fall flat and say "...um, ooookaaay". I try to let them know that what they did was just awkward.
Tertiaryanna,
I literally cringe! I even cringe when someone does it to an other BW.
I think I will try your tactic.
