Ignorant People
So when was being intelligent only a "white people" thing? I'm sick of people saying someone talks like a white person just because they can put a proper sentence together. People who think this way are really the ignorant ones. Just because I may not use slang and I know proper verb noun agreement doesn't make me sound like a white person. I speak like I have a brain in my head that actually works. I guess this is so hard to do for other people caught up in a black and white world. Are white people the only people that are allowed to sound like they have an education? No! So why is speaking correctly seen as a "white" thing to so many people? I don't want to be the idiot walking down the street who speaks like a 5 year old just because I'm not white. Since I'm black, am I suppose to sound like the people in the rap videos? I don't think so. It annoys me when people speak incorrect English on purpose. I don't see the reasoning. Do they want to sound stupid? Maybe, but stupid character trait is not one of my characteristics. Correct English is something everyone needs to learn. Next time someone says that I speak like a white person, I'm going to ask them,"What do you mean?" Let's see what their answer will be.
