This is what happens when you allow anyone in your culture. We let other groups take from us just because they look like us

Most people can't fake a good Jamaican accent, however, they're really good at faking an American accent.

jafaican is overblown ...







it's americans that mostly can't do "jamaican" accents

Oh now u wanna say something. You shoulda stayed quiet lol

Now everybody pay attention....dude brought up Jamaican accents and I let this be known VVVVV

Have you seen a black Non-American imitate an Atlanta accent or a New Orleans accent bruh?



That lie that British actors can just play any ol Black American needs to stop. There's never been a British actor in the history of this planet that has ever pulled off those accents

And he somehow ignored that because he had no rebuttal

Here's your L bruh. Just take it, accept your hypocrisy (and possible jealousy) and move on

Eh....most actors can't do regional American accents outside of an exaggerated NYC/Jersey accent.

Anything Southern always sounds terrible and foreigners aren't nailing Midwestern. A fast talking but hood Dallas/Houston/St Louis accent is a big nope and they aren't nailing New Orleans either.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Shhh don't tell em let them keep thinking every black person in the south talks the same...

I can tell if someone is from Florida and what specific part of Florida they're from just off of slight differences in pronocuations and accent but let them tell it there are 4 American accent and they are masters at all of em.

And before any of you tell me Idris does a good American accent he does one thats it. my boy Stringer Bell was in Baltimore sounding like he just got off the train from Greenpoint,Brooklyn

Yep, Florida brehs have this way of talking like they are eating a wayyyy too hot, Hot Pocket though Miami brehs don't necessarily always sound like that.

Dallas and maybe St Louis are kinda similar where it's country/hood but fast city talking. Beaumont isn't the same as Alabama. NOLA is it's own thing. North Carolina is Southern but not overly exaggerated.

Holy shyt you really can't take the L

Oh well whatever hypocrite

Every person of African descent feel entitled to black American culture. But they heavily police theirs.
