    How to imitate Southern pronunciation when you write?
    You may try using Southern accent words to mimic the way people from this region speak. In such a case, you will be wholly focused on the way the words sound, which is a pretty efficient technique. Southerners don’t pronounce “I” the way others do. They say “aah” instead of “I” and “mah” instead of “my.”

    Also, you will hear a Southerner saying, “You git what you git, and don’t throw a fit” rather than “You get what you get, and don’t be upset.” The rhyme matters!

    Other examples are “taar” instead of “tire” in which Southerners pronounce a doubled syllable. The phrase “I’m tired” can be written as “Aah’m taard.”

    “Aah caint do that” is a Southern way of pronunciation for “I can’t do that.” Chances are that the word “ain’t” comes from here."

    Only the Dead Know Brooklyn
    A lesser-known example of dialect that establishes setting is from the 1935 short story “Only the Dead Know Brooklyn” by Thomas Wolfe. Nearly every word is written with nonstandard spelling to capture a Brooklyn accent.

    “G’wan!” some wise guy dat I neveh seen befoeh pipes up. “Whatcha talkin’ about?” he says—oh, he was wise, y’know. “Duh guy is crazy! I tell yuh what yuh do,” he says to duh big guy. “Yuh change to duh West End line at Toity-sixt’,” he tells him. “Get off at Noo Utrecht an’ Sixteent’ Avenoo,” he says. “Walk two blocks oveh, foeh blocks up,” he says, “an’ you’ll be right deh.” Oh, a wise guy, y’know.

    Words like “befoeh” and “toity-sixt” may seem daunting until you read them out loud. Then you’ll discover that they mean “before” and “thirty-sixth.” Each seemingly strange word helps the story encapsulates the ups and down of the regional dialect of 1930s Brooklyn.

    My comprehension is fine. Your statement #8 seems to be an attempt to put your perception of voices to the illustration of a Black woman. It provides no information.

    Twenty-five years ago, some school districts were pushing to teach black students in Eubonics, saying that Black English is a separate bi-lingual language. Linguist John McWhorter said that teaching Eubonics, or Black English was a bad idea, but did defend that Black English does exist as a separate language.

    Oh I remember him pushing that idea and how demeaning it was to blacks, young blacks especially. I was taught to speak properly and with respect. THAT is what he should have been pushing.

    McWhorter was pushing that black kids needed to be taught "proper" English and not treated as "bi-lingual" students with Black English being taught along side English. From his study as a linguist though, he did say that Black English could be defended as a real and separate language.

    Anyway, I think the point it that for the Aunt Jemima advertisements to use a Eubonics-type of writing was perhaps ahead of its time, not horribly "racist". Years later, black activist groups were trying to have the dialect taught to black kids in schools. ;)

    OK must have him confused with one of the supporters, I just remember the name. And he was right and it's a shame schools do not even attempt those failing to prepare their students for a successful career and life. And I say the same about whites be they north, South, east or west.

    There are canceling her for her images of today, not the crude ones from back in 1950.

    It shows the sickness of the woke movement. If they get triggered over silly imaginary **** like that, then we are doomed as a nation once they expand their idiotic wokeness into the rest of our lives.

    It is crazy. the woke-***** are bringing back racial segregation, and teaching children to look upon people as belonging to isolated racial groups. Meanwhile, how will a racially mixed family like my own be treated? I'll tell you, my grandchildren will be viewed as unpure and lesser versions of whatever racial group they are supposed to belong to. I'm worried that every racial group that meets my kids and assume they belong to "that other group," and they will never be accepted. Whatever ever happened to we are Americans, and don't separate us by race?

    I ain't gonna get shook up over a company trying to sell products. Aunt Jemima is part of our history. I like history.
