Jamaican Patois is oh so cool, but when Black people from America Talk a certain way it's oh so wrong. I'll never change who I am to get some funky job. That's why I got my own record store. I'm through, peace.^^I'm not sure folks are saying that you should change...However just as you deciide in your to continue to converse ebonically, you should also appreicate that they will be black folks that choose not to converse in that manner all the time..While still there a others out there that will change this speech to match their audience..And changing your english is not gon get you no "Funky Job"..it takes more than that...Fa-Sho, but these lames like Cosby act like if you talk white IBM is gonna knock on your door and offer you six figures.

One of my homies whom I thought was smarter than that put a brand new stereo and speakers in a that's only worth $400
Let me end my dealings with this Thread as I began it........Fuck Bill Cosby and everyone that agrees with him. Bye now.
This is solely a race issue, not a language issue. Every race uses slang and has their own way of speaking. No one really speaks "the way they were taught in school". The problem is that Black Slang is seen as ignorant to White America, and White Slang is acceptable. btw...has anyone heard the President speak?
