While you think think accents are cool I know immigrants with college degrees who don’t interview well because of them.. Accents are cool, and I hope we don't lose the various accents that make this nation so cool. I've met plenty of people with great accents that are culturally in tune with their region or area, and the people were very smart. Not sure if we can describe ones intelligence through their accents. Most of it is based on their actions only.. Good grief.. Care to stay on topic ?? You answer by bringing up 40 more topics, so are you attempting to muddy the waters ?? How about addressing one thing at a time in your responses ??.. lolI asked a girl who was home for the holidays in Michigan but she moved to Atlanta for a job. I asked her if southerners are losing the accent. She said they are. People view the southern drall as ignorant. That’s all I’m asking blacks to do. Lose the ignorant drawl
Maybe you need to stop asking blacks to do anything and you lose your racist stereotypes. Sealy Lobo, you have nothing to offer us as long as you think you are doing us a favor or that you are making suggestions on how we need too act coming from the perspective of how whites see things .I'm telling you that as a black person. The way whites have done things is not what needs to be emulated. Not when you honestly look at how whites did things. Now if you remain in this delusion of grandeur it appears whites have then you ignore how whites actually did things thinking you have something to say that we must listen to. Drop your own accent. We are very capable of seeing our own mistakes and understanding why they happen. We are more than equipped to reduce those mistakes. The mistakes are fewer than you want to admit and in fact things are far worse in the white community. White kids go to work tatted with all kinds of piercings but you are talking about blacks. The problem is not what you say it is and as long as you don't know the problem you damn sure cannot provide a solution.
So he completely blew off my suggestion that blacks lose the ignorant accent. This is no different than what we are asking white southerners to do. The only difference is white southerners will do it and they won't have that hick accent costing them jobs.
I think IM2 knows I'm right. He won't admit it in front of us but when he goes home tonight he will beat his kid like Adrian Peterson if the kid doesn't speak eubonics properly. LOL
I like southern accents too. But statistically the south has figured out employers think the person isn’t professional, polished, it comes of as slow and ignorant. Goobers.
So white southerners are having their kids learn how to speak northern.
If blacks don’t want to take the same advice that’s their fault.
I would have to disagree with you...don't get me wrong, if someone sounds like a swamp creature from the deep backwoods of Mississippi they'll be hard pressed to land a good job without impactful credentials. However, the common southern accent is very much embraced as the accent alone tells people you're genuine, honest, polite, respectful and trustworthy.
