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 throughout the United States. [/b][/quote]
I never asked you to prove anything. I asked where you were getting your information from and you validated my statement saying your getting it from TV. And exactly where are you traveling in the US? I respect your first hand information from your travels. Of course there are people that act like Bill Cosby pointed out in his speech but it is far from the norm. He was targeting a portion of the American population. IMO you were just generalizing, but I may be wrong.
"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 don't like to have to concentrate on people with your point of view but I try to. I also did not call you stupid for your point of view. If you want to resort to name calling then go at it. Im not going to get dragged though that mud.
