And why are there no black news anchors? Maybe it's because very few American blacks actually speak decipherable english. And this is not a race thing. Canadian black people speak perfect english. British black people speak perfect english. Australian blacks speak perfect english. But American blacks have real problems. I am not a linguist so I cannot tell you why, but it is the truth.

Bernie Shaw at CNN. Remember him anchoring the show from Baghdad in the 1st Gulf War? Don't forget Greg / Bryan Gumbel either. Watch any local news channel in the US and chances are good there'll be a black anchor. See, there's more than Fox News out there....
As for the rest of the quote, I just shake my head. I'd bet that plenty of white folk confounded you with their southern accents too. Not every "Black American" is hooked on ebonics.... Hell Snoop Dogg is even decipherable when he wants to be.....
