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

[onlylno]

Isn't @BrothaZay a troll tho?



From the work he be putting in (this thread included) he might be the Coli's best.

shyt like this burns my soul...this is the blk female equivalent of c00n ass negus who get w/ sloppy white women

 

[AllHolosEve]

Yeah, YOU might be able to differentiate a c00n from an elequent speaking individual, but many nikkas are ignorant. I said the word coherently in a sentence and someone called me out for talking white. There's two sides to this coin.

This sickens me how we equate intelligence with whiteness

This sickens me too cause I used to get it growing up... "Trying to talk white wit all them big words"... Id just be like "I dont talk white, I talk like I got an education & a vocabulary" I dont "sound" white at all, most people assume Im from Chicago or Detroit, its always been the words I use...

 

[Rekkapryde]

If its possible to "talk white" then what does it mean to "talk black?"

When people say you 'talk white' I always assumed they meant your tone aka high pitch voice

This. Excluding diction, the people that sound white typically lack bass in their voice. I know a lot of people would think I was white over the phone or even on a terrible xbox mic back when I was 12-14 years old. That definitely isn't the case anymore. But I do know a couple of people that would say I talked white because I sounded an entire word out, this imo, is most likely because I was a military brat growing up, I don't have any type of slang because I never stayed in one specific area long enough for it to stick to me.

Like on this test: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/20/sunday-review/dialect-quiz-map.html

I don't fit anywhere on the map.

I hear what op is trying to say but I hate making these types of assumptions about people often times what you see on the surface is not a true reflection of people judging them based on one thing is not a good idea imo.

Truth. I was in Best Buy and i heard this black customer tell the cashier "awesome sauce" & "cool beans".

Those are far from proper terms. They shole is white tho

Whoever is attempting to queue the "people say I talk white because I use big words card" is frontin because Ive had a vast vocabulary the majority of my life and Ive never gotten called our for sounding or talking white and actually got commended majority of the time , it all boils down to dialect and inflection so miss me with that rah rah ya tryna pull

 

[RhodyRum]

You c00ns gotta stop it this shyt

When someone tell you that you sound white you know damn well what they mean

Its plenty of black people who talk proper as hell, but no one would ever say that they sound white. IE Will Smith for example.

If a nikka say you sound white, its cuz u do, and 9/10 you ARE trying to sound like a cac and want to be accepted by cacs.

So stop playing that reverse phsycology victim, c00n shamin bullshyt

The fact that this post got 83 daps by the time this thread became featured is exactly why this site is simply nothing better than to be used for entertainment purposes and is sooooo easy to lampoon.

I'll admit til the end of days that The Coli is a damn good pastime, but man, the phrase: "Had a spark when u started but now you just garbage" couldn't be more apropos.

Stop it. Black people I grew up with said this all the time. They associated big words with being "uppity" or "acting white", not necessarily sounding white.

Yep, it all goes back to slavery and how blacks were made to hide their intelligence as a survival technique, if y'all really want to get deep wit it:

Stop it. Average people I grew up with said this all the time. They associated big words with being "uppity" or "acting white", not necessarily sounding white.

Fixed. Literally everyone that tries to use big words for no reason is considered a snob. But I'm going to let you talk down on the "black" people you supposedly grew up around.

Not talking down on anyone just an honest assessment of what I've experienced growing up
