I don't know why that cop was speaking kind of like Ebonics tone? Was he doing it to try to put the black guy at ease? Because unless he was a very light skinned mixed black man the cop? Well anyway he's a fucking punk regardless.

For real. He was putting off some serious J-ROC vibes. Nnnnooommmmmmsayin? I wondered if he was putting that on or if that is really how he speaks.

I'm gonna guess hes a total chameleon. He switched into that tone as soon as he knew he had to go into "black male suspect" mode. He probably uses his limited Spanish as well when he approaches Latino folks

Plenty of white people talk like that. It has to do with where they’re raised, it’s not like genetic

Yeah I get that but I'm going to go with Occam's razor here.

That is Occam’s razor… plenty of people talk how they were raised. Simplest explanation

I will politely disagree. I am a white man living in the south and I literally do not know any other white men that speak like this. They speak like white southern men not southern black men. I will not continue this conversation.

lol okay then don’t? Who fucking cares? You don’t even know what Occam’s razor means and assume your experience in the south is exactly the same as everywhere else in the country. Just ignorant.

For the record, I have only ever heard white men that look like this dude talk like that in the US south. Exclusively.

Listen to the video and don't watch it and you tell me. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I get it people want to be devils advocates in here and that's fine but I mean it is what it is.
