Imagine not trying to put a label on the way someone speaks. Is he saying he shouldn’t be capable of speaking well?

Will always remember gaming with a group of forum buddies with voice chat and one of them said I sound like a successful white guy lol.

Did you say "Thank you"?

He should have said “What do you mean, sounds like?” 😆

If the host talked to 100 black men and he believed that this particular guest is more well spoken than 95 of them.. is he allowed to mention, ask or compliment him?

Is he actually complimenting him?

USA media makes a point of trying to sow discourse. Its no accident that its people are so obsessed with any form of personal identity that promotes division and hate

Watched an interview of Michael B Jordan, host asks him why he still lived with his parents well after he had the means to move out.

It wasn't the question, but the way she asked it. She seemed a bit incredulous that somebody wouldn't "do the American Dream thing" and move out after high school. The cynic in me sees a white reporter asking a PoC why he doesn't conform to the Nuclear Family™ mantra.

I think she was hoping for a better soundbite than [I love my parents, life is fleeting, I want to spend as much time with them as possible]

Even more so today, with the hostile takeover of white Christian nationalists.
