The average country nigga?

[Qjai]

Ok, here is my small town georgia rant for the day


Working at the cable company I see a lot of people all day. I work in a small town where white folks all believe that we are not educated. Its always those black people or those mexicans....so why the hell do the men come to pay the bill with un-kept afro's with picks burried in the, woman in their PJ's with rollers in their heads, kids dirty, runny noses yet they are riding in a rimmed up lexus.

I've had folks call from the projects to get cable but can't spell their street name as if I'm supposed to know where they stay if they name the projects to me....:beating or they get upset if I dont understand what they say....nigga I'm asking you to spell it cause your ass can't enunciate!!!! UGH!!!!!

and they call and want to pay their past due bills after the cable been turned off....then get upset that it can't be done the same day talking bout "oh ya'll can turn it off right away but can't rush to turn it back on"...well pay the damn bill on time and you wont have that problem!!!!


ok I just had to get that out. I feel better now :D

[que90nek]

i've been in those type of towns...
where it seems like there is a large disparity between black and white educational levels.

Qjai, since you're coming from the "north", things are gonna seem quite outta place. It did for me when I first moved to Georgia. I realized that things really are "slow" here, but instead of looking down on it, I try to make the best of it and help folks if I can. That may mean being a little patient and helping them with things like spelling their address. Remember not everyone is literate here. Also, you have to remember that the dialect here is not gonna be the same as up "north" so if you don't understand the person, ask them to repeat it slowly.

WTH? Can't spell your street name...:beating
Come on... I bet they remember the year and model of that Lexus... As well as, the manufacterers' serial number and model of the 20s on it...

I see children reciting rap lyrics, but don't know who George Washington Carver is...

I was in Atlanta last October, and while walking around at the Underground, I heard many conversations, and couldn't understand any of them. It isn't just the black people that I couldn't understand, couldn't understand the white folk either!

But when I spoke to some of them, they giggled and commented on my accent...LOL

Where I live, you will see black people of all kinds.....the professional who wears a suit every day, drives his luxury car home to his white wife every day...*snicker* and you see the man that is standing out on the street, in the same clothes all week, trying to flag down cars. I try to show regard to both, because I have had it both ways. And could end up either way, depending on circumstances.

Qjai, my girlfriend lives in Macon and she hates it. She says the same thing about the way they talk and how they expect you to know what they want and need and will get upset with you in a hot minute.

Misha, I am from Illinois also, and people used to tell me I sounded country.

[misha]

Now see? My relatives are all in TX, and they are the most country talking people I have ever heard! Don't get me wrong, it is cute....but geesh! To me, the mid west accent is not country!!!

[Melotic]

Soul~ful...;)

[djackso]

It has nothing to do with being country. Black folks in the projects in chicago are the same way. Driving & wearing expensive things & can not do basic functions of life. The damn devil is winning!

[Qjai]

bw, its not necessarily the southern tongue that gets me, (to them I'm the one with the accent) so I just say im sorry I didn't hear you or can you repeat it....but its like what que said..."where it seems like there is a large disparity between black and white educational levels."

[OhSoPrecious]

We got some country Niggas up North, too~!! :rolleyes: It ain't just a southern thang. . .
