That's part of it, but also look at the black celebrity types like Snoop Dogg. He deliberately dumbs hisself down. He be talkin' like a complete imbecile 'cuz it coo.
Fo shizzle ma nizzle.
Now WTF is THAT supposed to mean in plain English?
You can't even hope to get through a job interview when you talk like half a retard.
I've been told by many executives in our business that if you were black and could dress and speak properly they would hire you in a minute.
If more "uncool" blacks keep making this point, maybe something will happen. Remember the stink that Bill Cosby caused when he questioned who would hire someone who can't speak English. Thomas Sowell was on tv last week with Fred Barnes and stated that if a child drops out of high school their life is basically over. I also liked what he said about the way for a black person to succeed in society. Finish school, go to college, stay out of trouble with the police, get a job, get married and buy a house. Its hard to believe its all that simple, but it really is.
I don't know. In this convoluted society we live in, it may soon become a job qualification.
Put into proper English it means, "It's a foregone conclusion, my man."
Um, with all due respect, how do you know that Calvin Broaddus (aka Snoop) is dumbing himself down?
Not trying to pick a fight, just noting that I have never once heard Mr. Broaddus speak a proper English sentence.
