It was so his constituents, the ones not in prison, could understand him.

Its natural. Everyone does it. Just like the white guy who says “whats up bro” as soon as they get around a black guy. I don’t think they are racist either.

Either he just got off the phone with Carter or he thinks it made him more appealing.

He’s playing to his audience. But that’s the main reason I cannot stand to hear the poser speak.

Yes it is offensive. And I’m pretty much white. If I was Black I would have been very offended. Shows what he thinks of his audience. But remember, Hillary clinton on the campaign trail? She did the same.

He was speaking to Americans, was he not?
Then why was English not good enough?
The black man wants to distance himself from the rest of the American society, and then be mad when we say you don’t speak English well enough to work here.

He is disgusting – a true hypocrite – he talks black when he wants to be perceived as one of the ‘brothas’, and Harvard-ese with his elitist, latte-sipping snobs. He does the ‘pimp walk’ too, and other times he walks differently. What a phony.

Yes. It’s insulting.
