It only happened to lames.
Once you learned that riffing/joaning/cracking was for everybody, you eventually adapt and advance...or you stay bitter.
Learn to joke back and learn to fight.
PS: It has nothing to do with intelligence and everything to do with sycophantic behaviors toward staff mixed with white speech patterns.
Hella "Braxton" types got changed into a regular ass nikka who happens to be smart via jokes.
Minus the jock/combat sport types who naturally gravitate toward cacs.
And it's still:
What are you doing around here talking like that? Learn to code switch and keep the caccent over there.

Y'all know what you doing
"I can't help how I talk"
"I sound more educated"
If you were really that smart, you wouldn't have been in a public school.
Boarding/Private schools had scholarships for exceptional students...
Schools you have to test into during your last year of middle school.
Guess how I know?
