Let me tell you what I’m not going to do, and that is argue another minute about this issue. If you want fight for your right to call LJ dumb, go for it. I have better things to do with my time.

Did you hear him talk about her shoes?!

Melania’s shoes are hot fire How tall is Trump? Geesh!

Go head Carrie!! Sing it!!

National Unity!

So far I really like his speech.

For those of you who watched Breaking Bad, would you make fun of the way he speaks or say he sounds like he didn’t graduate kindergarten or that listening to him makes you feel dumber? I doubt you would. Why? Because you know he has a physical ailment that affects his speech. You have been taught not to make fun of handicapped people. I’d argue that prior to the 80’s and political correctness, bullies made fun of kids with disabilities. Do you know there are schools that talented high school athletes go to that helps them become better players AND teaches them how to speak? These schools are preparing these kids so they can get endorsements and how to handle themselves during interviews, etc. So there are kids that you are unaware have been trained and practiced how to speak. A lot of talented athletes come from disadvantaged backgrounds and have not had the money like some kids to help them sound polished. For some reason it’s not okay to make fun of the way that Breaking Bad actor speaks. You wouldn’t start a thread about him being dumb. Yet, despite you know LJ has a southern accent that he didn’t manufacture. I’m sure he sounds like his family members. For some reason you feel it’s perfectly okay and a free for all to make fun of LJ but you’d hold your tongue about that Breaking Bad actor. Yet both are simply a product of the life they were born into. Society has said don’t make fun of the disabled but it’s still okay to make fun of the urban accent and claim it’s a sign of stupidity instead of the unique history of blacks and isolation. I don’t care that he went to the best schools, he went as a tool for the school not to get a great education. I don’t know a damn thing about LJ or his character. I’m just discussing him to address you all making fun of the way he speaks.

This is me (police officer) trying to explain things to you (old man): https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEVmn4qPzn2/?igsh=NmVjdGJ1NXk3cjZ4

Here are 2 rappers: Uncle Luke from 2 Live Crew and Trick Daddy and a classic rap song that came out the same year Lamar Jackson was born. All 3 were raised in the same metropolitan area (I think) in southern Florida and have a similar dialect and accent. If anyone has read what I wrote and still can’t understand my point of view of why calling a black person with a southern accent dumb and didn’t graduate kindergarten despite that person having a college degree and a career that requires intellect: a career formally denied to blacks for the exact reason that blacks didn’t have the intelligence to be a QB and Lamar Jackson manages to lead his team to the playoffs year after year… If you still can’t understand why it’s racist, you may need to step away from this topic and revisit it 10 to 20 years from now when your ego is ready to accept that it’s racism that makes you think it’s okay to call a black man dumb who clearly is not dumb. That only racism makes you think he sounds dumb.

Look, I’m just going to tell you guys that you can’t see it in yourselves but you’re doing what has historically been done to blacks, which is diminish a black person’s value and accomplishments by calling them stupid. I don’t care that Lamar doesn’t speak eloquently or doesn’t score high on a test. He speaks like the immediate surroundings of his upbringing. If he is speaking what you deem is improper or not standard English, either he cannot or will not. If he cannot, blame the history of segregation and housing in America. As he matures and his circle of influence gets wider he’ll begin to sound more like YOU. Maybe then you’ll stop calling him dumb? But know, it’s just a superficial trait and you’ve simply been ‘othering’ him. Which in short means you’re racist. Which I believe most of you are and I don’t care what you write to prove otherwise. To post for pages and pages why Lamar Jackson is dumb is thee definition of racist, imo. I’m not a Ravens fan and honestly, before this thread hadn’t really even heard him speak. FYI ‘Othering’ is the process of creating a distinction between an in-group and an out-group by emphasizing differences, leading to the stigmatization of the out-group based on stereotypes and hierarchies, ultimately reinforcing the identity of the in-group.

Trick Daddy and Kodak Black, like Lamar Jackson are from Florida. They all have a strong southern accent.

Apparently there are different 9 types of human intelligence: Naturalistic, Musical, Logical–mathematical, Existential, Interpersonal, Linguistic, Bodily–kinaesthetic, Intra–personal and Spatial intelligence.

In, she and her husband are expecting.

Hopefully, I’m going to be grandmother soon!

Your insecurity is showing.

Bottom line: He has a dialect that was created by the surroundings he was born into through no fault of his own. He’s not dumb because he hasn’t made dumb choices in life. She sounds smarter than a lot of you: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DECBSHKoCtR/?igsh=NXVwb3VqNDM0bXNm

Okay, fair. Just my opinion then. Be better.

I think there is a difference. It's like calling a black person a big-lipped ape or a chinese person ching-chong. You know? Saying Lamar is dumb or hasn't graduated kindergarten is like an old stereotype about blacks and we're all more sophisticated these days. Clownzo has no reference to anything except Trump's hair and behavior and the person's ill feelings towards him.

There is someone here who calls him clownzo and that is just so funny to me. You know, though, Trump himself is a funny guy. He says stuff off the cuff that at first sounds a little off or mean, but later, I'm like, that was correct and smart. Example: Fake News

Lololol, that was funny. Listen, Mike Tyson was and is scary. He literally frightens me: like this character.

What black men are those?? Btw, you're trying to change the subject.

You missed my point. I was trying to point out that Margaret Thatcher changed her dialect/accent in order to sound more elevated. That all societies have accents and dialects that sound proper or low class. She tried to imitate the upper British class accent. As for Lamar, he was poor and grew up in a poor neighborhood and in general we tend to consider southern accents as lesser elevated that northern accents. Yes, he speaks in a way that sounds uneducated, but he is in fact educated. He has a college degree, and he is successful. He has a dialect, that's it. It has nothing to do with his intelligence. Get over your bias.
