Southern Slang

So I decided to attend a university where the majority is whites… coming from an area where the majority is black this was a huge jump... See everything that I had in my mind that would be a problem that would cause me to feel isolated was minor you know being able to get into parties, fitting in with the crowd, having a casual conversation…No the biggest problem I had was the English Language... You see I come from Atlanta, GA born and raised and the way we talk down there to them is country but how the hell is it country when I’m from the city...But As soon as I open my mouth these folks act like they don’t know shit I just said…See for me everything I say is English I’m not just some dumb nigga … But to them they think I am…a dumb nigga… Saying that the way I talk isn’t correct English...Since when was the way I talk incorrect...Or a better question who gave you the right to say that what I’m saying is wrong…Just as I figured a white man… after bringing my ancestors over from Africa and making them do jobs that your ancestors was lazy to do…Ripping them from everything that they had including their languages where in their homeland was correct. Making them work in the southern areas of the states where incorrect English is common between us southern folks…Because this was our stomping ground where we originated from unlike some families the blacks that stayed in the south was unfortunate enough to runaway to the north where everything was so much better…So we took what was left and created our own language, our own base, our own foundation that would forever distinguish us from any states that said otherwise... You see after slavery our ancestors was only left with little to no type of the correct English…and the white man was no where around to help he was too upset to the fact that his niggers was gone. So the fact that blacks didn’t have no one to teach them they created their own form of communications, because that’s all they needed was to communicate...So the fact that we speak a lil slow or a lil to fast with the innovative and beautiful sounds of broken English shouldn’t surprise you. We can give two fucks if you do or don’t this is the way we communicate…Just because its written down on a sheet of paper and forced into Webster  makes it right?? Wrong… once you close that book you in a world where you just need to communicate...Bet money yo proper ass won’t go to the ghetto where the weed smoke, hair spray and gun powder lingers and tell those folks that the way they talk is incorrect…And I bet money you get an improper ass beating and before you opened your mouth you was present tense but now your ass is past tense…Laying face down in the streets lips swollen shut…Can’t say nothing now…Not even the precious word help! But what you fail to realize is that all us southern folks aren’t dumb, in fact none of us are dumb we just express ourselves a little different...we have a jump on you folks an advantage that you don’t have and that’s the fact that we can communicate in both worlds yours and ours something that you can’t do…you see if we want a quick reference all we have to do is pick up a book…if you wanted a reference only hope you have is BET which is just that Black Entertainment Television not realizing that the shit that’s on that is some watered down…the real is in the streets not on some white sheet of paper.
