Question for all anglos
How do accents work? Like, it is possible for a black person to speak 100% like a white folk if he wasn't raised among blacks?
Have you personally met or saw a black man or woman who is speaking clearly?

Yes, accents are cultural, not biological.
>Like, it is possible for a black person to speak 100% like a white folk if he wasn't raised among blacks?
Of course, Jamaicans do it all the time. They know their native accent and dialect (patois) is absolutely incomprehensible to other anglophones, so they switch to a more neutral accent when talking to non-Jamaicans.
Do you not have accents or something?
Jamaicans are more able to speak standard than the native nigs. Don't get why
The soviets did some job by throwing people from all over the country into a big fucking pit where the dialects and accents have died out.
I don't know about the rest of the country, but the black people in my town speak just like anyone else. You'll see black people on TV working as presenters and stuff speaking in RP too.
It's the Pakis rather than blacks who are immediately identifiable by their accents.

yes

I once saw two caribbeans establish that both were from there and they stopped talking like whites and went full accent
Interesting.
Russia's so big that I thought it would have plenty of accents.
So much this, I couldn't find a black man who talk almost perfectly without any southern, guetto, ebonic, trashy accent on the american media, it looks like the black population is constantly 24/7 brainwashed into speaking like a real retard, it makes me believe the government and media have a sinister plot against blacks making them retarded on porpoise.
There is a reason received pronunciation is called "received" and not "indorn", you know.
Bullshit. You can easily tell if a person is from Odessa, or Kuban, or St. Petersburg, or Siberia. I'm not even mentioning places like Georgia or other Caucasus regions.

Quick fix.
how do you spot, say, a St Petersburg accent compared to the standard ? (I'm guessing the standard accent is Muscovite)
Sorry, I'm a retard. There are plenty of accents, but almost no dialects except for surzhik and a few others
I didn't think of that, sorry.
Having a m*scow accent makes you sound like a faggot.
I don't know your accents, can you explain them to me ?
for exemple my accent has no "s" sound, it is replaced by "sh" sounds
>it is possible for a black person to speak 100% like a white folk if he wasn't raised among blacks?
they're rare but yes
you can usually tell if a person is black by their voice regardless of their accent though
Seems like sounding like a capitalshit turbofag is a bad trait worldwide.
I actually had a African serve me at Maccas that sounded like a 12 year old Australian girl it threw me and my mate so off
> he has a redneck accent instead of talking properly like a Madrid patrician
OH NO NO NO NO NO
Yeah i delivered a pizza to a guy who had a sudanese name, had to call him because his gate was locked and full on thought he was just a white guy with a weird name then he came out and was full on sudanese
Also i went to school with an African kid who was adopted by english parents and he didn't sound black

Yes, but it is discouraged by black people.
They say it's
>acting white
They made lower class behavior their identity.
