I was always one who agreed with the whole, "no! oh! Its just proper English, dummy!" And I never paid it any more attention past that, but I saw this Black guy today, and his ACCENT was White. His twang. He was definitely talking White. It was his English coupled with that White "way" of speech.
You can speak proper English all day and still sound Black.
9/10, if you heard an adult Black male with great English on the phone without knowing his race, his voice still has that depth, that soul, that seasoning, that something that let's you know he's a brother.
So yeah, I disagree now, when people say there's no such thing as talking White.
Yeah I just said the same thing, watching an MTV News Decoded video.
talking white is a real thing.
And talking proper, to me does not equal talking white. You can sound black, like Farrakhan, but still sound very educated and proper. Or Chimamanda sounds highly educated, but not white at all.

Of course a person can sound black. I wrote an entire term paper on it.
You can sound white, black, Asian. Many African Americans do pronounce words differently. There is a sociolect for any demographic group.
Hhhhh
He's cracked again
Do you guys think it's biological or somethin? :plzstop: cause even the most whitest person who grew up in the hood still has that white twang going on (ex: Eminem).
I think the depth and "soul" is mainly prevalent among AA's because I sound very "white" according to a lot of people. I hate it :stressed: I can't rap along to songs because I sound like a fucking white bitch AHHH

It's just something us blacks have. That BASS. nnnn
Like LONZ said, you can just hear it sometimes. Also when they sing. Immediately when I hear a song on shuffle by let's say Robin Thicke, and I don't see the name, the voices that shuffle in my head are all white, I might think it is Jon B or Justin Timberlake when really I have no info telling me it is a white artist.

ggg the way she says "and."

Thats some White shit.
The RRRRRR is such a white trait to me. Black people don't really pronounce the r after a vowel.
They will say something closer to "lovah" instead of "loveRRR"
I wish we still had the vidya of that "Dominican" gorl

There is no white or black accent. Accents are picked up by the people that surround you. It's the voice, itself, that is different. Black people tend to have deeper, fuller voices.
I think people are confusing a masculine voice with a non-masculine voice
with talking black or white
in terms of males
maybe?
people tend to think dark/strong/masculine voice for black males vs white males

:dead: I actually agree... I don't know what's going on with this "Millennial" generation... But its like we're regressing in some ways in terms of race relation, both Black and White.
it's not regression LOL Regression is a strong word IMO which almost would imply that there were no racial tensions for years or something
This chart is very eerie, and a bit disturbing but I feel a need to share.
This shows how long slavery and oppression were open and legal.
Slavery was legal for 246 years. It was then abolished, but segregation was perfectly fine for 89 years following.
We have only been truly free and equal for 54 years.
My grandmother is older than that. My FATHER is older than that. And that is truly disturbing.
345 years of slavery, Jim Crow laws, terrorism against blacks, lynchings, beatings
and 54 years of "freedom and equality".
We are still LIVING through a very hurtful history.
So I wish some white person would ever look in my face and tell me to get over anything.
Dumb bitch, I'll get over it once it's completely eradicated.

We are basically inadvertently segregating ourselves again after 50+ years of President Johnson signing the civil rights act, I mean we have students on University campuses calling for "Black Only Safe Space" zones? What part of history does this sound like? Calling every little thing that we are uncomfortable with racist? It may not seem like it but these type of things are very divisive.

I'm trying to remember a time when racism didn't exist during my time on Earth .
Yeah, drawing a blank. I still remember, as a child, watching the separation of races during the OJ trial. Blacks hoping for his acquittal, regardless of whether he took 2 innocent lives or not :usureuok: , and whites hoping for his swift punishment, regardless of whether he did the deed or not. Even then I knew that this country was a divided one, based on race. Didn't really know why but I definitely could see it.
If anything, I feel the increased presence of social media and internet usage has only placed more of the mess directly in front of our faces. We can now pull out cell phones and record a black man being beat or arrested for no reason. We can write blogs about experiences we've had going into white neighborhoods or applying for jobs at white owned companies -- and immediately reach hundreds of people, and even millions of people once and if it goes viral.
We can expose text messages sent from officer to officer encouraging one another to find and beat down black people. Did they suddenly just decide to start beating up blacks again? Or did they slip up by using new technology which can be pulled at any point to prosecute them? Instead of just calling each other like they usually did.
I get your point but I don't feel it's specifically regression. I just can't label it like that. To say or even insinuate that there was any point in time where racial division wasn't present is a stretch for me.
