How the hell does that guy have access to that much archive footage, does he get it from Internet Archive or did he inherit a stash.

I have no idea, I found it on a humble one day and never thought about it. Maybe reach out and ask him.

Bruhman still talks like that. But seriously, although that first brother on the video almost sounded like he was African, we talked like this back in the day. Some of the accents were more heavier than others. I had two brothers who still talked like that. I guess I did too, but I don't think my accent was as heavy as my two brothers. I remember one of my brothers who had the heavy accent had called me on my cell phone while I was driving. And I had this knucklehead Ethiopian girlfriend riding with me. We hadn't been dating too long. Anyway, when I got off the phone, she asked me why was I talking like that. Then when I asked her what she meant, she started to describe how I sounded. Although she sounded nothing like what she was trying to describe, I automatically knew what she meant. Her ass was out of place. You probably see why I didn't hang on to her very long. And I was in my early 40's, having to hear that, although she was only 27. But I had no ideal I was sounding like that while I was talking with my brother. Then again, I remember when I was in the 10th grade, my sister once told me I sounded like I was singing when I talked. Going to college changed a lot of that. And studying computers later on probably had me sounding darn near like Carlton Banks. Ok, going to college didn't make me sound that different, but different enough.

Learn actual history instead of Liberal, fake-woke talking-points based on hoaxes, fakkit.

:umad:
Loool typical CAC buzzwords “liberal” when I’m far from it. You may allegedly be black but you’re a buck broken negro.

And going out of your way to quote me whilst removing the code to “alert me” is a real bytch ass move. Don’t think I haven’t noticed that’s intentional. :mjlol:

Southern brehs and mid west black folks still have that cadence heavy.


Sounds like northern brehs have been white washed
Nobody under the age of 50 talks like this in the midwest.

People in south carolina all the way to florida still talk similar to these gentlemen though.

This man still got it



We speak with a rhythmic cadence today, it's just that it's normal to us so we don't notice it.

It really stands out when non-black people try to talk like us, and they just end up sounding corny

I agree, if someone is speaking to you on the phone, you will 9/10 be able to guess his race. We dumb it down and say he or she “talks black” but it’s the smoothness and cadence to the speech.

Same thing with online gaming, if you say a sentence, these white boys in COD will jump all over you, calling u a ****** and everything else.

Your mother's a buck-broken negro. That's why you exist.

You noticed nothing and are paranoid. No one gets alerts from me. You ain't special.
