Also, just because someone is speaking in slang or improper english, doesn't automatically mean they sound black.� Sounding black is about intonation and voice projectory......it's honestly just a sound
this is taken from my original post....
It was geared towards people who THINK that if you aren't using slang, you don't sound black. What I'M SAYING, is that sounding black is deeperthan that....just like how certain may get off on thinking they act black because they can rap and c-walk. Blackness is deeper than that.

No. In your mind, you perceive that he "sounds black" because you already know damn well what he looks like. If you had heard his voice without ever seeing him, you would not be 100% sure about the color of his skin.
Why is it so hard to understand that where and around whom you are raised plays a much bigger role in your manner of speech than the color of your skin??
Don't tell me you can hear a hear a black British or French guy without knowing what he looks like and immediately know he's black...

Its not about deep voices.
You can have a high pitched voice and still sound black.

That is incorrect. Proper, in the way it is used by the thread starter, is an adjective describing "English." Properly is an adverb andwould describe a verb like if he said I speak properly.Originally Posted by ballinamillion1
