Lighten up explosivity. EVERY segment of society has their own pronunciations. EVERY. I'm a northerner living down here in the south. For some reason, the kids crack up every time I say the word car. And I crack up every time I hear them say the word ten (teeeeein). We laugh at each other and don't get bent out of shape. Nobody is stupid.
True story. Three years ago, I had to go to my dad's funeral. Very sad occasion indeed as you can imagine. Nothing funny about going to your dad's funeral. What made it even more sad was I lost my mother a few years earlier, so it is compounded sadness when you lost both. Very lonely and sad feelings. Well, the preacher that was doing the funeral was from England. And he was making the point that when we get to heaven, there is no more pain. But you have to understand how the English people say pain. They prounounce it peeein. So we were all sitting there sad and crying and the preacher says when we get to heaven, there will be no more peeein. I tell you it jolted every one of us that was in there. All the little kids thats were in there started to laugh and the adults were keeping a straight face. The problem is he kept hammering it home. After several times, everyone was smiling but the preacher. He couldn't understand what he said that was so funny.
If you are tempted to think that I think black people are stupid, you are incorrect. Right at this very moment, I have an Algebra 1 class that has 20 students in it. One of them is black and he is heads and shoulders above the rest of the class. Every thing I say, he is the first one to get it. So no, I don't believe blacks are intellectually inferior to whites, if that is what you were tempted to assume.
