london2lasgidi: There's always going to be 'white speak' and 'black speak' in every multicultural country.

I'm tired of black people looking down on other black people because they have been whitewashed.

English is a bastard language, with Latin as its surrogate mother.

thou shalt not speaketh.. lmao.


Back to the jokes.

london2lasgidi:

You still don't get it, do you?

The so-called 'London Boys' speak with the right diction, but we just spiced it up with some Afro-Caribbean slangs; to make it more black. We gave it our own flavour, but still kept it in its original form.

I speak normal when I speak to white people, and we sound almost the same, with the same diction, but different tone.

kandiikane:

Bullsh!t! Everywhere you go in england, there is a different accent but lets talk about london. London has a recognisable accent in general but you also have the ghetto london accent where everything is pronounced with an "ah", that butter accent I gave"boh-ah". It's disgusting!

Dumbas$, so because I don't say "bruvv, blad, nucca, wagwan", I am an uncle tom? Seriously, go school.

No one is saying speak white but speak correct english. Many black men are born in posh areas with the posh accents, I bet you did make fun of them saying they are uncle toms. Get the Bleep out of here with your "WE, LONDON BLACK PEOPLE SPEAK EBONICS"

you dey crase?

Ya, dig my nucca.

Ammyng: Who else speaks white here apart from Kandiikane and Royal

kandiikane:

I was ferried to london(I couldn't speak english), at first I couldn't understand the language. In my mind, they spoke so fast but I caught on and learnt to speak better, I could now understand without having to ask twice. The issue here is, you said you spice it up to make it more black, how come many blacks who come over understand normal english but find it hard to decipher? Should it not be that, we find yours easier to understand? It is not black but ghetto.

There is no such thing as black speak and white speak. Just go school and learn, you will speak the right speak. Bwhahahahahahah!!

dayokanu:

I am not happy

I wonder! When i came to the US, i could understand the whites perfectly from day 1, the[b] blacks were a completely different story. They seemed to speak a form of English language invented in the moon.[/b]

BOUNTYDOG: Which one be grammer again na.se no be most handsome una dey find?this guy is the most handsome & speaks very fluent english.he is far more handsome than all the nominees I see here.

davidylan:

Says those who look down on other blacks because they arent lightskinned enough or dont have curly (whitey) hair.
The level of hilarious nonsense on these boards is something else.

If you think English is a borrowed language then i wonder why you havent switched to yoruba or igbo.

london2lasgidi:

Those are slangs.. And we don't say "ya dig?" That's an American slang.

London accent can also be classified into: East London accent, West London accent, South London accent, and North London accent..

Black people from South London have the thickest English accent in London..

Black people from East London sound proper cockney.

Black people from West London sound normal.

Black people from North London speak the most plain English accent.

It depends on where you live; but what they all have in common is the use of black slangs.

Where do you live in London?

Despicable-VII:



David is going in on London.......This sounds personal

I guess he was reading all them jokes about him in the previous thread

David seems like a good guy though.

kandiikane:

lmaooooo!

Abeg, lets talk about this your kingdom. I want to be the first v!rgin maiden to lie on the king's bed.

Mrs.Chima:


I speak freedom means i speak how i want and when i want.

london2lasgidi:

I never said English was a 'borrowed' language; I said English is a BASTARD language.

Basically, I don't have a problem with the way people speak it as long as I can understand them. If you're of the opinion that the English language has to be in its pure form, then we all have to go back to the Shakespearean English. Which means; American English, Australian English, and Canadian English are also wrong English.

kandiikane:

What? You want to come find me and shank me?

I am glad you left that ebonics behind, it got pretty annoying.
I live in three difference places in the UK.


omg, have you heard the scouse accent? The worst I have ever heard. It's like they have phlegm stuck in their throats.

davidylan:
I dont have a problem with the different English language variants that exist today. Personally i have gotten to appreciate the difference that exists for example between the way a typical New Yorker speaks the language compared to a Texan. I only have a problem with the horrible slang form that blacks seem to love so much. Its undecipherable for those of us who were not born into it.

Despicable-VII:
I feel you though kandii...

You don't like those "ghetto" black folks huh?

...LoL They are soooooo Ghettooo(*White Girl Voice*)

Despicable-VII:
@Kandii @London

Yall both sound Ignorant from complete opposite ends of the spectrum

There is no such thing as "Speaking White"...

Stop associating "perfection" and "properly" with the White Race.

You are actually denigrating your own people with such flawed logic


What on earth does the phrase "speaking white" mean...

oh so Perfection= Whiteness?

And Imperfection= Blackness?


Smh...

"Speaking White"....No such thing you black fools...Pure utter Fallacy.

london2lasgidi:

I'd rather listen to a village Yoruba/Igbo man speak English that listen to a scouser lmao.

That's another variation of the language, but you can't knock them for speaking the way they speak.

I'm not ghetto, but you need to speak 'Black' when you're around black people in the UK.
