One of the reason Powell and Obama have succeeded is that they do not talk "BLACK." That's the best way I can put it. People do really have problems with adjusting to accents. I guess this is a case of "works both ways." I grew up in the South. One of the first things that happened was running into a lot of people who thought I was automatically stupid because of my accent. Unfortunately, I overcompensated. Too bad, because it turned out to be a very good negotiating tool. The men nearly always underestimated me and ended up in trouble. However, I do know that accent affects people's opinions. I find it odd, too. Your comment about her accent reminded me of my own thoughts this afternoon.

How many ways can the MSM make it clear that they are no longer the Fourth Estate, but a propaganda arm? Thanks for the post! It really is remarkable, isn’t it?
