but you can't deny the fact that the differences are generally along racial lines/divides......a person from the Kongo will sound more like aperson from Botswana than they do someone from Ireland. I don't know why ya'll are fighting that
it's not based on race?? Still doesn't deny the fact that most of the differences just happen to occur along racial divides/lines, or am I making thatup?
and like I said, in my post, I said "what you are born with" Fine, I'll take that part out. Still doesn't negate the fact that blackpeople, and all people, have a unique sound that came from SOMEWHERE.

this is taken from my original post....
It was geared towards people who THINK that if you aren't using slang, you don't sound black. What I'M SAYING, is that sounding black is deeper than that....just like how certain may get off on thinking they act black because they can rap and c-walk. Blackness is deeper than that.

Makes sense...if ya'll don't get that then oh well. The thread went in a whole different direction.

That is incorrect. Proper, in the way it is used by the thread starter, is an adjective describing "English." Properly is an adverb andwould describe a verb like if he said I speak properly.

An Asian or Hispanic or w/e born and raised in America? If I can't see their face, I wouldn't be able to tell what they are. But I do agree somethingabout a black persons voice, I don't know if it's the tone or bass..you can just tell that's what they are.

ok people lets be honest, i know all of you especially the black folks know when they pick up the phone whether its a black person or a white person,regardless of their diction or slang or lack of. People sound white, and people sound black, why is that so controversial?

uhh def cosign. and hating on black people for not sounding "black" is fox news ignorant. people like that are of no value to society. real talk. imsorry if i don't sound like a slave. might be hard to get a job at an interview sounding like 'yessa massa, I rekin i work real nice like' or somebullsht.
