>>In sum, I disagree with you about Bam-Bam’s supposed oratorical prowess.
Disagree all you want. It works for his intended audience. That’s all I’m saying. It doesn’t work on me or you because we listen to words, think, and draw conclusions based on fact.
Basically, his oratory skills are like the aerodynamics of a bumblebee. It shouldn’t be able to fly, but it does.
I have heard ‘black’ preachers using a similar style. Even when I agree with their theology, I find their style and the incessant murmuring of the “Amen Chorus” thoroughly annoying.
Yes ... some folks like it. Some folks like ‘rap’ ‘music’, cubist painting, trash sculpture, and the Dallas Cowboys.
Not all cultures are equal, and some of these things are symptomatic of a diseased culture.
Is it his oratory or his persona they’re responding to?
I think it might be at least as much the latter.
