Would you eliminate your accent in order to fit into college? A recent study shows that student’s with a stronger southern accent were many times more discriminated against due to their sound.
The study called, “Dialect and Influences on the Academic Experiences of College Students” found that Southern accents many times effected the experience of college life and that educators should be cognizant of this.
Check out the research on page 2:
Southern accents are beautiful, soft and melodic. Yankees accents are grating and they sound like a buzzsaw.
“The only people targeted? Are those whom make themselves targets.” And now you are victim blaming. It is not the victim’s fault the attacker chose them. If you were raped, is it your fault? You made yourself a target.
Of course it isn’t. The hate (and blame) lies in the instigator, the attacker. IF black panthers are calling for killing Caucasians it is ONLY because Caucasians are calling for killing blacks, and have been since the birth of this nation.
“Who have never done anything to them.” Are you serious? They, just like you, have been letting cops and the KKK kill them for years, and done nothing to stop it. What are you doing to stop the racist killing of black people by cops? That is why they want to kill you, because you are letting them get killed. You are allowing them to be terrorized. You are the terrorist.
” I stand united with all Americans not trying to kill another.” Then take a stance and acknowledge blacks are being killed by cops discriminatorily. Until then, you are advocating killing black people more, and you are only standing with the people racially killing blacks. Until you take a stand against killing, you are advocating it.
You are not uniting our nation against killing. You are uniting whites against killing blacks. You are racist. You are the problem. Stop your hate and acknowledge a problem exists.
Haha, gotcha. So you would fly a $#%&!@* flag and a KKK flag too, right? Out of love, right? And whoever asks you to take it down is hateful, right? But not the people which made the flag the symbol it is, right?
The key is we don’t care, we can take care of ourselves, when c**p hits the fan you’ll be looking for that good old country boy to hide behind, I guarantee
Way down South in Dixie.. Yall…..
I love southern accents. When I was in Brooklyn, stationed with
My husband, I worked in New York City and i am from Indiana and they thought I was from the South.
I am a Southerner, Southerner, Can I sue for being discriminated against?
Oh fiddlidy dee, I’ll wait until tomorrow like Scarlet O’Hara

They should discriminate! We are tough down here in the south. We have to be because of the fools everywhere else.
