Lol come on now

And LOL at stop speaking on us
Ma'am I'm from Detroit, ppl do that down here too
But everyone doesn't do it

It's not just an accent
It is most definitely an accent, are you gen z?

Bc older Black Americans have the more traditional accent and there are many words they pronounce differently that people would call wrong improper or ignorant. Definitely not racist or hateful

And they say “he’s Arab” not “an Arab” just like they say Italian as if they’re pronouncing irish

One of my personal annoyances is the way older Americans pronounce the T in immature instead of ch, and I’ve heard both races pronounce it like that.


ETA: this thread title made me think of this song which I’m sure you don’t know bc you’re gen z or younger
