He went so far as to say "few speak decipherable english". I think you watch and believe way to much TV. I lived in the US for over 8 years. I never once met a black person that spoke un-decipherable english. Where are you getting your information?

edit: for un-decipherable spelling
First of all of course I can't prove most american blacks speak poor english. It's stupid of you (not quoted) to suggest that. What exactly are the SI units for understandability?

And "indecipherable" was a bit of an exaggeration. Hard to understand maybe? I don't like to have to concentrate on what a person is saying to have to understand it.

I am getting my information from television and my experiences travelling throughout the United States.
