+244 You wonder why black people have their own accent, amirite?

It stems back from slavery. The accent a lot of them have has a Southern touch to it if you listen close enough. Fun fact from ap us history last year yayy.

the accent isnt the problem, its the complete and utter ignorance of conventional pronunciation that frustrates me. nobody actually sounds like that, they put it on from an early age to fit their profile, to prove how 'tough' and 'street' and 'gangsta' they are. the whole "dialect" (if you will) is a farce.

It's not just black people who do that. That's a generalization of people in the inner city, not black people.

they obviously mean an accent different from those around them despite being from the same country...

By accent in assuming you mean the use of Ebonics/bad grammar and sentence structure. This is prevalent in the black community because of a general lack of $ and good schooling. And then once Shawntray drops outta school and can't form proper sentences, his little brother starts talking like him cause it's 'cool', then he later drops outta school and his grasp of the English language gets even worse.
