"Talking white" is just speaking a Standard American English dialect as opposed to AAVE.

Notice that all white people from the U.S. don't all talk alike. Get a white person from Boston, one from small-town Minnesota, and one from Georgia together. They ALSO have different regional dialects. The reason that so many black people share the same dialect outside of regionality is because of segregation, legal or otherwise.

This is stuff you'd learn in the first two weeks of a basic history of linguistics course, brehs.

No, they're not.
Ain't you FROM up here tho?
You're not going to know as many groups.
Cacs shyt on hillbillies for talking "dumb" all the time, and southern accents are a huge joking point for northern cacs..same with mexicans and paisas or asians and fobs, but you wouldn't know that, you don't make moves.
Naw you're trying to skew shyt now.

People make fun of FOBs because they have accents. Hillbillies are dumb. They are ignorant and unintelligent.

Were are talking about the tone of voices here. In a modern society, sounding white is not questioned in other circle. Only Black people act like sounding white is a phenomenon.

:stopitslime: no mfca, you talk white like I said.

Two things we need to do for the new year.

-stop acting like talking white isn't a thing

-stop thinking that when someone says you talk white they're saying you sound more educated than other blacc ppl. :camby:

There is scientific fact races talk differently.

This scene is a good example.

Same accents, same slang, same cadence when they talk however of you close your eyes when and listen to this scene, you can tell who is black and who is white.

I feel like you nikkas who get told you sound white then try to flip it into it means you sound educated are the real c00ns.

This cac is clearly tryna mimick the way he thinks blacc ppl speak but it's clear as day, even with your eyes closed that this is a white boy speakin.
Even when he's using slang and all that he still talks white.

You can clearly tell she's white. And it definitely has nothing to do with her sounding education, because she doesn't. Just her voice is a white voice

This sister is educated but you know off bat that's a black women speaking. Now if I say Kylie talks white are you going to tell me "no she just sounds educated" and his college professor doesn't?

Let's talk

The problem with this argument is that there IS a huge difference between an intelligent Black person and a Black person that speaks as if they are ensconced in White culture. Black people of lesser intelligence levels typically do not make this distinction and assume that an evolved vocabulary and grammar = “talking white” which traps us in a box as Black people.

Using myself as an example, if you put me around the average hood nikka they would absolutely say that “I talk White” but if you put me around some White people they will think I “talk White” for about five minutes due to their stereotypical views of how we are supposed to speak but after that they usually conclude “he talks and thinks Black AF”.

The inflection and tone in 90% of my words is African-American but my vocabulary is advanced so that’s why I correct people and say “nikka, I’m speaking intelligently...not White”. Fact is, I don’t even hang out with White people...I don’t watch their shows or anything and don’t frequent their areas...I’m just intelligent and refuse to speak like a dumb ass nikka to make some other dumb ass nikka think I’m Black.

I don’t even judge people like this anymore, I like to judge people based on how they think. I feel that “thinking Black” is more important than “talking Black”. Because you can “talk Black” but “think White” and that’s how the FBI infiltrated all our large movements in the USA using all those c00ns who acted like us but weren’t. But when you “think Black” you are powerful and when you know how to code switch White people will let you into the board room where you can really have some impact.

Standard American English is valued in this society, but it's just one more English dialect. Speaking it has ZERO bearing on one's intelligence, nor does it reveal anything about one's intelligence. Same for speaking AAVE/ebonics. It's just one more way of speaking English with its own consistent grammar features and specific vocab words.

ATL, but rasied in DMV
If you pronounce "draws", "droors"...then you sound White.
If you say "you guys" or "you all", instead of "y'all"....then you're talking White.

Don't be around the brothers' taking about, "Are you all going to watch the ballgame?". You will be checked.

To bring it up to date, don't get in front of Blacks and say the movie was groovy or far out.

Brooklyn keeps on taking it.
Are appalachian WV cacs automatically educated?
What about dirty irish cacs from south boston housing projects?
What about wyoming trailer cacs?
Central tx?
Ohio opiate fiends from dayton?
Upstate ny cac trash from rochester?
Rural cacnadian pillheads?
All these groups sound educated to y'all?
:sas2::jbhmm:

You forgot about the Cacs in northern Staten Island so high on meth they collect dead pigeons as prizes

Nah, black regional dialects have more differences between them than white ones.
I didn't need a linguistics course to serve cacs the BIG BAD BOY, Bobby.
Chicagocacs and Clevelandcacs have more of the same accent than Cleveland and Chicago brehs.
Detroit cacs, Toronto cacs, Milwaukee cacs all have variations of the same "Northern Lift", and the black accents are different Southern AAVE accents that recombined and diverged into totally different ones.
A Baltimore cac sounds like a nasal Cleveland cac, same working class Irish trash beer lover accent...
600 miles away from each other.
A Bmore breh and DC breh have more variance and they're 45 minutes apart.
Pittsburgh cac "yinzers" don't sound shyt like Black Pgh brehs but they sound more similar to Philly whites than Philly and PGH brehs.
A baaahston cac sounds like a rhode island cac...but a Boston breh doesn't sound shyt like a Providence breh.
"Wicked pissah" :mjlol:
