Great thread....

I dont think u have to go that far back to see black people still had there specific cadence depending on the region they were from.

That was one part of our culture that I really loved.

And the Part I hate seeing gone.

Everyone sounds the same, or has assimilated too much.

True. I honestly think the 80s set black people back a few decades.

The destruction crack had cannot be stressed enough! It affected multiple generations that we’re still suffering from today. These CACs are evil.

We get made fun of when we speak like that now. Yes, I said 'we'. I'm a 70's baby. Cats assumed I was from the South even though I was raised in the Tri-State area. My entire family sounds like that with a more NY/NJ inflection (to my ears) except for the kids in the generation after me.​

Now, cats either sound like the cast of Saved By the Bell instead of Welcome Back, Kotter, or, like barely literate caricatures of what 'Black' people sound like.​
