***When I hear whites speak like urban blacks I assume they have the same poor English skills;***

I remember my parents, High Plains, Rocky Mountain and Hill country of Tennessee always spoke with good English.

Then they moved to the Ozarks and it grated on my 10 year old nerves that they allowed their communication skills to fall to HILLBILLY backwoods levels! They NEVER used to talk like that!

They were afraid they would sound “better” than the locals, and would be considered “uppity”.

I guess I understand that; they didn’t want the neighbors thinking they were Yankees...
