wow your posting actually sounds just like him lmao

seems like a good guy just pretty bad at speaking and he chose an awful venue...he can't hold his own in a debate with a tree

I think Peterson is right. Obama speaks in this Black American tone, yet he was raised around rich white people.

I hate this response. It's actually a damned if you do, damned if you don't argument.

For instance, if a suburban middle class+ black person, whom was raised around white people, is perceived as being a sell out if they talk in a "standard" English dialect, from the black community.

Meanwhile, if a suburban middle class+ black person, whom was raised around white people, talks in a more urban tone, they're also viewed as "selling out" for not being true to their natural born environment, by "American" standards.

The bottom-line that people tend to overlook, is that "both people" (black individuals from a middle class+ background, where blacks are limited) will face subtle racism. To point, where they'll obviously know they'll different from their white counterparts.

It's disrespectful to speak in some "street" tongue to someone just because they are black.

I would never talk to a black person in that way. I would think they would feel insulted.

can't believe I missed that episode. OP is one of the few accurate impersonation aliases. He had that dude talking to a t.

It's not a "street tongue" you dummy. Almost every middle class black person I know code-switches. There are different linguistic idiosyncrasies that arose in black communities that exist generationally and aren't necessarily dependent upon socioeconomic status. Go ask your mom.

Honestly there's a time and place for everything. The more you reveal about yourself, the more you show your ignorance of the black community, which you love to sh*t on. Obama was merely speaking in a church like dialect.

You don't speak use the mannerism, that you showcase around your friends at home in a private setting, as you would at work or while volunteering; do you?

The church and barbershop are two cornerstones of the black community, where blacks from all social classes "congregate" and engage in roughly the same rhetoric or mannerisms......

With that said, Obama, just demonstrated, his connection to the black community, not talked down to them. Only, an outsider looking in, would perceive this as offending.

It's disrespectful. I am an Asian American and random people speak to me in South East Asian tongues, and there is nothing more insulting than someone saying, "susday"or "sa-by" or "salamat" to me because they Assume I speak Khmer, thai or Tagalog. It's insulting, ignorant and racist.

If I was black, I wouldn't stand for someone speaking to me in Ebonics just because I was black. it's disrespectful and insensitive. I speak English like everyone else. My race shouldn't be a factor.

I think the point that he trying to make is that Obama is faking it when he is "talking black". Since he grew up in a white neighborhood and was raised by his white mother and her white parents.

you poor man. this post sounds like you're regurgitating nativist talking points or something.

When people tried to speak in me in spanish I didn't consider it "insulting, ignorant, racist" or whatevs.. it's just misidentification by someone who's actually seeking a connection

Obama speaks in ebonics?

You are exposing your ignorance and bigoted perceptions of black people as usual. You associate any cultural expression or nuance present within black communities with ignorance, crime, ghetto trashy behavior, and other negative descriptors.

Obama is just talking like regular black folks at get-togethers at church, school or wherever and you're calling it "ebomics" and "street tongue."

Goddamn you shyt on your mother and the genes she passed you so much.

Time and place, people seem to forget that he attended a black church....

upon completion of college. Maybe, that's where he picked up the dialect? Either way, it's not insulting in the least bit.

I don't know one rational, non-delusional black person, who'd be offended by Obama's church dialect.

You flip more on your race, than your political affiliates flip on propositions.

You clearly lack insight, of African American culture. Quit beveling, everything you see on TV and read in newspapers, Pookie & RayRay are not an entire representation of the black community.

I think you still haven't learned your lesson, maybe it's time for another sonning from:
