Just because someone says that you talk white doesn't mean that they're saying you talk proper

I might die a bachelor
Examples?
I naturally have a very monotone voice, not so much bass.
Always been told I talk white.
Growing up I was an avid reader though so I could word my thoughts and arguments well and people would feel some type of way.
Didn't have black best friends until high school and even then it was still a diverse group.
I still code switch because of work and shyt though, but it's more so vernacular than my tone. Can't help it sometimes though.

@BrothaZay lets put this to test, I'm the first dude talking in this, do I sound Cacish?
My boy said I have the LL Cool J voice i.e. Non threatening and my. Italian breh from Missourri said I sound like a black Ira Glass.
You sound adorable!
This is talking white
One of my sisters talk like this and she grew up around black folks. I've heard this type of voice from plenty of black chicks so to me it's normal actually.
They top lip is often very thin
This dude again....bruh.........

I get that alot. I was in AG (academically gifted) from like first grade thru like middle school. I was literally the only black person in all my classes pretty much the whole ride.
The reason I got off the AG track is because I hit 14 or so and discovered 40s and blunts, kid. I was essentially in a gang that thought we were a rap posse, I spent all my time rhyming, all my niqqas sold crack, and my uncle was a basehead.
I don't consider any of this as qualifications for being black, but some of you do so I included it.
When it was time for college I left home and went to a mostly white college. Why? Cause I never woulda graduated from the HBCU in my town. Too much history and too many homies that woulda been living in my dorm room.
Why didn't I go to an HBCU in another city? All I remember is I had my shyt paid for at the school I chose so I went. If they woulda paid for me at Morehouse or something then that would have been cool.
In 2016 I work customer service. Been working customer service since like 98. When I talk to customers I put on a different voice which people say sounds white. When I am at the family reu I use my classic speaking cadence.
So was my mother wrong for making sure I was in accelerated classes? Was I wrong to go away to school? Am I wrong to talk to my customers a certain way? I'm sure some of you will find fault.
Once again. Stop. Dividing. Us. Up. Black people are one group. We'll never rise until we realize this and use all our talents together.

I don't like associating "talking white" with talking "proper"...It just subtly suggests my people talk incorrectly.
Well spoken sounds better. It's race indiscriminate.
I only post on sh*t I have experience with.
Grew up in Park Slope from the age of 2 until
about 8, and race was legitimately the last thing on my mind. It wasn't until some c00ns told me I "talk white" did I become insecure about sounding intelligible.
Ten years in the Flossy (Canarsie) and now I don't know any white people to tell me I sound like them, and my n*ggas know better than to try and rip me about how I talk because they know I'll still f*ck their sister.
Doesn't matter how you talk. Pull play and get it how you live it.

I been saying this shyt for ages. If I hear you speak and you sound like a generic cookie cutter ass white dude you automatically a fukkin lame to me. We are not white We don't sound like that. We're different from them.
So talking white just means that if i hear you on the phone, I'd mistake you for a white person?
Would never happen to me.

I got it once or twice growing up but I never actually had white friends. It's just when I had classes with them my voice would seemingly shift to their tone.
Happens in the corporate world as well, I can literally hear the "whiteness" in my voice sometimes.
But then when I'm around most black folk I have a southern black accent. When I'm around cats from the northeast, I sound like Jay-Z. None of this is actually me trying, it just happens.

This is something called sub-conscious vernacular shifts which is largely uncontrollable. If OP's dumb ass went to college he would have learned that.

A lot of Bay Area nikkas like Deltron sound like this though, I think the OP is ignorant as fukk and can't wreckognize we will vary in accent and tone based on geography naturally.
You realize the same problems of today are the same problems of that era too right?
I said Black unity.
They had just as many barriers to black unity as we did.
