Fwiw, baw, I lived in North Carolina when I was in college (Greenville - East Carolina University) and my brother currently lives in Greenville, South Carolina. No need to lecture me, baw. I'm very familiar with the south, baw.
You can try to peg me as racist by pointing to my "ghetto" comment, but I'm not falling for that uneducated bait...baw.
Fact is, some blacks and whites choose to speak with an uneducated ghetto accent, a celebration of mediocrity and victimization. Hip hop doesn't help.
Some blacks and whites choose a different path, one focused on education, self improvement, and career goals. It's amazing how you rarely see blacks or whites on this path speaking with a ghetto accent.
Why is that?
Have those blacks and whites "sold out"? That's what the media would have us believe. The media and special interest groups push the narrative that ghetto culture based upon self victimization should be celebrated.
If you think this is racist, then please tell me why more and more blacks are shunning ghetto culture? Are they racist too? Are successful blacks and whites, who speak with a more professional tone, the problem?

touche.... point well made, killz.
I guess I'd have to hear the accent to know if we're thinking about the same thing. I find that more and more people from the South are pushing back against the narrative that Southern accents make people sound dumb, and fewer folks are trying not to sound like their regional accent/dialect. Maybe this is a byproduct or intertwined into that revolution.
As far as the rap goes, that is unfortunate, and yea it's unfortunately leeched into society more than just about any other genre except for country. I really hope that changes.
