But then again, bigots are strange people. Buffalo is no different than any other city/fan base in that regard, unfortunately. BTW, I understood what he said. Easy to do if one wants to listen and not insult someone; which brings me back to my first point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I did like McKelvin, and he developed into a fine cornerback. While I did post the "second language" remark in fun, I do surmise that most likely McKelvin's way of speaking probably has cultural roots. Doing a bit of research, he hails form Waycross, Georgia, in the sourtheast part of the state. The population is about 14,000 with about 54% being black. The median family income in Waycross is about 60% of the median family income in the state of Georgia. That means there is a good chance at least that McKelvin grew up in poverty and a black culture. He is to be commended for having arisen out of poverty, but his way of speaking probably does have a lot to do with his social circumstances growing up. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you extropalate back from there, why is the education system so poor? Why are the rates of poverty so high? There is a long history in the answers to those questions, especially in the south. I could understand him because I chose to listen to him; he has a very thick accent, and it sounds like a slight stutter. For some they hear that and immediately tune out and feel like they can't understand someone. I get it. I'm not saying Peace Frog is a bigot either, I hope that wasn't the impression he/she got or others got from my initial post. Some just find humor in various things. Traditionally, there is a long history to de-humanizing people for various reasons, which provided "reasons" for bigotry. This is also done to poor whites who are referred to as "white trash" another term I cannot stand. Peace Frog just found it funny. But being who I am I have a lot of of experience with people who claimed humor, but were really saying something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) I had a (white) roommate in college from a small town in Ohio across the river from West Virginia. He left for the summer saying he was going “back to Appalachia”. It would take me almost a month to be able to understand him after summer break. He was my Best Man, as I was his. But for the life of me I could barely understand when he talked all bumpkin to me. . Edited May 26, 2018 by Augie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very aware of people's feelings, to the point where I can very accurately manage and predict their behavior. Doesn't mean I choose to empathize with their juvenile histrionics.
