[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it makes you racist and little ignorant. Do you care that a teacher from Boston does not pronounce their r's? No. Because when white people don't pronounce things correctly it is cute when black people do it, [b]you [/b]think they are uneducated.[/quote]

Not the pp but that's just not the case--poor grammar is poor grammar.  When my [b]southern in laws say fixin [/b]or the something akin to that it drives me nuts!  It's not a race thing but it may be a class thing.  Other things I can't stand:  "alls I'm saying," "where you at?,", I could care less," etc.  [/quote]I have absolutely no issue when my southern people say 'let me fix you a messin' of biscuits.'

My response is 'hell, yeah, bring me a messin' of those biscuits with some honey!  What is with you PP?  Not everyone speaks in your dialect.  Not talking about poor grammar here but the vernacular of the region.  Get over yourself![/quote]

[b]It just sounds ignorant. [/b] I think southern accents or beautiful but that doesn't mean that anything southern is ok if it's just grammatically incorrect.  Obviously  not all agree--I also don't like "you's guys."  Do you?  If you don't or if you take issue with other speech I guess you need to "get over yourself."  Geez so intolerant.  [/quote]Respectfully,  I don't think those people give a sh!t what you think since you're not contributing nothing to their well-being.  Truly.[/quote]
