PRESENTATION:
We were here / we was here

So true

traihit:
It's just a way of telling the world that an American is not the same as an African-American. With perhaps the former superior to the latter even in spoken and written English.

TimiRume:
Africans should learn to speak their native languages better instead of comparing themselves to their Africa brethren they sold for pieces of mirror. Sorry if i sounded harsh.

Enjoy my siggy

Xisnin:

The heading is wrong. There are no such people as "American", those differences are between educated whites and uneducated or ghetto-raised blacks.

Uneducated whites also have their own distinct accent.

czarina:
Nailed.
Africans speak better English than blacks in America.

CAPSLOCKED:


I DON'T WATCH AFRICAN AMERICAN MOVIES CUZ I NEVER UNDERSTAND THE THINGS THEY RANT ALL THROUGH. IT'S WORSE TRYING TO READ THEIR POSTS OR WRITE-UPS.

HarryDuce:
You should compare yourselves with whites in America then. Do you speak better English than whites in America?

traihit:


I call it language creativity mismatched.

Mustiboy:
I agree with you, brother.
many of the so called blacks aren't educated. you need to see the likes of Chris Brown, usher... etc speak in interviews - so many grammatical errors you'd wonder if they ever saw the four walls of school. and yes, uneducated white Americans also have their own distinct accents.

FlirtyKaren:
A photo of a book which 'captured' the difference between Standard American and African American English, is making rounds online. 

The difference according to the author of the book was mainly in word pronunciation and writing. Here is a photo of the book on the difference between Standard American and African American English below;

ShakurM:
Aren't you a Nigerian? Talk your own talk. Just like pidgin English, won't be fair if a black American bashes your pidgin English or what not that you speak. Talk your talk. Except I'm taking a written standard Exam that's specific. I'm gonna keep talking my talk

Jabo1000:


It’s. Its not about speaking right English, is about accent.
Both white and black hardly understand us.
You will hear I’m sorry, I’m sorry most time or excuse me.

czarina:
Blacks American English is the discourse. Try comprehending before quoting hun.

traihit:


Be it as it may, the white man would have told us how to speak Yoruba, Hausa etc had it been in his power to do so. But this is English language with all the rules of usage and so on. Meanwhile, a typical black man can be said to be very creative when it comes to language. Now, using this creativity for the white man's language, is that not language creativity mismatched?

raptex:
Just like the Jamaicans have their 'patois' and we West Africans have our 'Pidgin English'

Icon79:
Which Africans speak better English then Black American
Keep deceiving yourself

How can you speak better English than them when an average African immigrant is out there trying to copy the black American accents?
The saddest thing is, these folks often sound funny and stupid in their fake American accent


O pari

otipoju:


No.. they cant speak good english period.

I can speak cosmopolitan english and xan also speak Pidgin enlish which is our own form of Ebonics.

But when a man who can only speak ebonics start making fun of you speaking good english then something is not right.

Leetunechi:
My problem now is that my sister just broke up with her boyfriend that used to give me money when ever he visits
