answer to part 1: embarrassment

answer to part 2: I don't know. Do you so dare?

answer to part 2 if it was looking for a normative answer: No, unless you're Jackie Chan.

These are both signs you don't want to be seen as the archetypal white-guy-who-listens-to-hip-hop, the one who says to a black co-worker that he "gets it," the one who's "down." It's an image worth avoiding.
