Just wondering why a lot of blacks cannot speak English

[Magnus]

Trying to be serious here.

Why is it a lot of American born blacks cannot speak English?
They hear the words spoken correctly on TV and in movies and by school teachers. They see the words written in magazines, comic books, and school books. They hear other people speaking the words correctly...........so WHY is it THEY cannot speak correct English?

Axed instead of ASK
Sposibly instead of SUPPOSEDLY
Prolly instead of PROBABLY
and many more words I've yet to decypher.

I was talking to one black I.T. guy at work and I could BARELY understand anything he was saying. And he kept saying "deckstop" instead of DESKTOP!! He slurred his words together, and sounded like verbal mashed potatoes.


So why is it they can't speak proper English, when they are around it all the time and taught it in school?

Yeah, why can't the blacks speak correct English, like this guy..

A lot of white people around Boston say "park the car in Havard Yard" as "Pahk the cah in Hahvahd Yahd"

Why is that?

An accent is not the same as mauling a word and saying it completely wrong.

 

[Baron Von Murderpaws]

Maybe because speaking well is acting white; a taboo in their plantation culture.

Ah..........a realistic response.
You could be onto something with this. Hmmmm.

English is a racist language and only Spanish should be allowed

That's Ebonics though. Something that was literally laughed out of the schools and courts.
Ebonics is just lazy fuktards language.


It's not the same as saying certain words incorrectly when you've been raised around the correct pronunciation all of your life.

If you're going that route, then all languages other than Latin are racist.

No ...

I am saying the Democrats policies of Racist low expectation for Black Americans is what keeps them on the Democrat Plantation and is clearly intentional.

Try to understand it.

I went to schools with loads and loads of black students. It was rare to know one who cared about learning anything.

Most spoke in some kind of butchered southern drawl. They would often mispronounce even commonly used words, and would slur and drag across many parts of words. As long as they understood each other none of them seemed to give a fuck about 'correct' English.

In print, I saw it described, several times, as ' lazy English.' That's as good a description as any, imo, because most of those 'students' didn't seem to care about much of anything, except for fucking off until the end of the school day.

I've known blacks who are intelligent and well spoken, but they've been the exception, certainly not the rule.
