Do da name Ruby Begonia mean anythin to ya?
This again.
Number one, she's not adopting a drawl at all, in fact her Chicago twang sticks out like a sore thumb here. Number two, she's quoting the lyrics of a gospel song, verbatim. And number three, none of this has anything to do with Sammy Davis Jr.
Long as we're here let's just trot out the lesson from the last time, but not the only time, we shot this sorry-ass myth down. Apparently you shortbus kids in the back were busy passing notes and playing with rubber bands.
That myth comes from the dishonest Fox Noise edit you just quoted. The part they cut out was the
intro to what she was saying at the time, the crucial context
0:33 here ---
----- it's the exact lyric of a gospel song, word for word. Hillary didn't write the lyric;
Curtis Burrell did. And James Cleveland made it famous --- at least among those who follow gospel music.
Recited verbatim, even down to the redundant "from where I started from". It's
exactly how the song is written. I linked the lyrics just above; you can read it along with her. Literally. That's (duh) why the audience starts whooping --
they recognize the lyrics.
Now Fox Noise cut the intro off and made it look like Hillary was contriving something. They're playing their audience like a cheap banjo. But there it is, and that's what it always was. After this she quotes a Bible passage --- shall we conclude she's "contriving an Aramaic dialect"?
Anybody who looks at this with the required critical eye can see the bullshit a mile away, or rather
hear it. Listen to how she pronounces the word "far". That's a Chicago twang she can't get rid of --- not in any way a "Southern drawl". You would literally have to have no idea what a "Southern drawl" is to hear that and buy the way Fox Noise tried to sell it. By deliberately cutting out the context and dishonestly setting it up as an "accent" --- they create a myth.
In an apparent desperation edit they even spliced in another passage from a completely different part of the speech, apparently trying to sell the glottal stop in "Trenton New Jersey" as if it's a Southern drawl. I grew up in that area and I already know "Trenton" IS pronounced locally with a glottal stop. But again, Fox Noise counts on viewer ignorance.
So it's actually on the topic here of subliminal psycho-manipulation that Fox Noise would deliberately misrepresent what would otherwise be a forgettable recitation as if it were some "fake accent". The purpose of this is to stir emotions, for the purpose of amassing ratings. And those of you who buy it are the pawns.
Thanks for bringing this up -- not only does it tie in with the whole pshycho-manipulation, it says far more about how the mass media engages in it for its own profit.
Bottom line, anybody who thinks the sound in that video is a "Southern drawl" has never heard an actual Southern drawl.
