A heavy accent is one thing but no one equates slang with intelligence.

Slang is a dialect taken from English and popular culture.
English is a dialect taken from Greek and Latin.
When black people do it, it's ignorant and broken English.
When white people do it, it's creating language, but it's not broken Greek and/or Latin.
Considering this is Amerikkka, the hypocrisy is no surprise at all. Also considering the country we live in, it will not curtail racism because there is something else waiting to be labeled black. We were considered ignorant before slang was created. Do you think we would not be if it were gone? That wouldn't be logical or Amerikkkan.

Maybe a lot less false claims of racism, if you equate slang with poor enunciation and grammar.
I know as a small business owner I have been called racist for not hiring people that can't speak properly i.e. mispronounce the word ask as axe or end every sentence with "you know what I'm sayin" when in fact the color of their skin had absolutely nothing to do with why they didn't get the job. It is just not the image I want for my business.
It isn't racism,nbut it is often called racist, if the person doesn't care enough to speak properly at an interview, who knows how bad it will get when talking to a customer.

Slang has nothing to do with racism. maybe you should look up the definition of racism again.

Nope racism is as old as society itself. It is a cancer that has afflicted society and the only chemotherapy to cure it is education on different cultures and mutual understanding,trust n peace.

Slang has nothing to do with it. It has to do with the way you were brought up.
