A lot of anger was born with the Civil Rights Movement. We may never see the end of it.
It seems to grow worse day by day.

A quickie...not responding to anyone in particular.
Does anyone remember the movie Airplane. The bit where the two black men were trying to order their dinner and the stewardess couldn't understand the slang. Beaver's mom, Barbara Billingsly stepped in and said, 'I speak jive'. And proceeded to t***slate. Very funny hearing Beaver's mom speaking jive.
Anyway, I worked with hundreds of black people for about three years on my job, and was friends with a lot of them. When it was just them and me, one on one, I could understand them pretty well. But when one or two more b****s joined us, suddenly I could hardy understand a word. To me, that was their way of being 'kept' in the black race, of saying,'Yo, I is a black mayn.' Thing was, if they wanted to borrow money, I could understand them perfectly. LOL I still see some of them occasionally and I always get a hug from them.

These days, they speak like that in job interviews, wearing their pajamas.

Wel'uh.... I declar'ah....moldy's a troll an' kant' do anythang' uh'bout it...bless 'is hwart'.
Just kidding moldy. I AM Jethro and Bubba. Being from the TAG area, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia, I have the best of ALL the hillbilliy slang. We MAY have just naturally got around to it without being chided.
The ones that REALLY get me are the Indian store owners. They can hardly speak English but they can say what you owe perfectly. I also love customer service when you ask yourself,"What the heck did she just say???"
These are all funny observations, moldy, and there is nothing racial in them...they're funny because they are different from the way we say things. In Louisiana, they might say, 'Hey, it's good for ya to see me.' They also say,'three or two times.'
There was no harm or slight intended so why not join in and have a snicker?
