Why would people who were born and raised outside of America speak with an American ("blaccent") accent
? Why are you surprised an "immigrant" that grows up around black Americans "speaks like" a (black) american?
Lies. When they get with their people, they codeswitch right on in. That is not their real accent.
And they put extra sauce on it around wp, don't think we ain't notice.

code switch or speak an entirely different language?
do nyc puerto ricans code switch when they speak spanish?
They shouldn’t, that’s the point.Why would people who were born and raised outside of America speak with an American ("blaccent") accent
There is nothing wrong with how your grandparents spoke
It’s beautiful
Keep doing it
True. But some go overboard. That's where it gets cringy.
if they didn't, you wouldn't understand what they are saying. I can barely catch 2 words in a Jamaican conversation.
NYC adopted Italian mob culture ..who exactly do you expect them to sound like if they were raised in black neighborhoods?
a child of a black immigrants from any country raised in NYC will sound like a new yorker anywhere they go to because thats the speech/language that's communicated with everyone in their community.
Michael Blackson is a clown and Africans should shun himso Michael Blackson should, keep talking in that accent?
A lot of these folks can’t turn it off and their grandparents and parents can’t stand it.
It’s only cringey for me if you only break it out to ‘sound cool.’
On the flip side not being able to turn it off is tragic. All that white adjacent privilege they could tap into if they didn’t have 3 cuts in their eyebrow and hand/face tattoos.

I'm fluent in my mother tongue and said wtf I meant: codeswitch from one dialect of English to another. NYC PR's speak less Spanish than I do. Tf.
do you hear yourself?
who said theres anything wrong with how a persons grandparents spoke? no one becomes magically endowed with how to speak a language in a certain way, it's takes learning from others and practice.
you've completely lost the plot.

Your ear might have gotten used to it if you were given the chance. Inauthenticity is a curse to us all.
