If you are a Black person (African American) who grew up saying FOUR (4) instead of FO, someone at some time made fun of you. Like me, you grew up having to listen to Black folks say to you, "You sound white," "You talk so proper," "You're trying to be something you're not" or other such ridiculous comments. And at the same time, you've endured ludicrous comments from white folks like, "OH you're so articulate," "You're so well spoken, " "You're so well read," but never as a complement. Those comments ALWAYS include an element of surprise. Well, this episode is for you.
This episode is also for the Black people who choose to pick at other Black people because of how they sound. It's for the white people who engage in microagressions like showing their surprise at a Black person who says FOUR (4) instead of FO.
