I thought the comments were interesting. If a white kid talked like that, they'd have thought he was mentally retarded.
Have you ever been to Tilghman/Smith Island or Crisfield? Ive also heard some pretty heavy accents down abouts the Ridge way in SoMD. All white.

I had an accent you would have died over when I first moved North. I believe I have gotten rid of it.

Yeah, and what do they do for a living?

Are they reporters or in any field that requires them to communicate for a living?

Seriously?! The kid is probably only 9 yrs old, and he did an interview for his elementary school. You're comparing him to a real reporter?

No.

This was a video trying to make Obama/Biden look good. The little boy did what he could and I think he did fine. I understand accents. Would I watch a reporter on TV with those linguistics? No, and many others wouldn't.

I only posted the video because of the link to education.

The ending of the video ticked me off. That's all.

My brilliant red-headed monster had a speech impediment. You're mean.

He has finally grown out of it. (for the most part, he still has his moments)
