I live in the South (suburb of New Orleans)and I notice that black people pronounce bedroom as bayroom, jewelry as jury, and children as cheeren. And when I listen to reality TV such as court shows and hear black people speak on those shows, they pronounce these words the same, so I dont think its regional. My wife lived part of her childhood in southeastern Arkansas and still has the accent LOL. She remembers a young black kid going a nearby store and saying Mr Tibbs I need some pepper. He asked what kind of pepper black pepper, white pepper etc. He said no not that kinda pepper we need toilet pepper. LOL

LOL! Reminds me of the time I heard one north Texas gal ask another for a “pee-yun” (aka a “pin”). Her friend said, “You want a writin’ pin or a stick pin?” And no one around them batted an eye.
