  1. It is extremely embarrassing and patronizing to lower your Speaking just to ” speak” to others. Like talking baby talk to a baby or child but still maintain baby talk when they are older. You are doing nobody any favors by patronizing them by lower speech and accent so you are speaking in a language “they” understand. Then there is little promotion of other forms of communication.

    1. “Speaking in a language (or way) ‘they’ can understand” is how you communicate. LMAO!!! 🤦‍♂ I imagine you’re that type of person screaming at the top of your lungs in English at a Chinese person, trying to understand why he doesn’t understand you.

  2. Of the thousands of social media platforms from Black content creators which disect and interpret the news and this is the one you showcase. You need to pick your toy up and put her back in her box.
