[Augustine23572]

I have two theories on this, but they’re somewhat mutually exclusive and not applicable only to blacks. First, Americans love to talk, but they are awful at communicating. They just assume that they’ve communicated an idea effectively because they just got through talking. Never mind whether what they just said was comprehensible or made sense to the listener. Couple this with almost non-existent listening skills and you have nothing more than simultaneous chattering. I also think some young blacks mumble because they do not really want to be understood, especially by white people whom they don’t care for to begin with. It is as though they want to frustrate the listener, make the listener ask for clarification; then the listener is the bad guy because he or she didn’t understand! If someone, of whatever race, has something to say to me, and they deliberately fail to make themselves comprehensible, then they are just playing games, and I don’t bother listening to them. And some people just do not know how to enunciate.
