>>1412963I lived in the north (New England) all my life until I moved to the south last year, so I think I can weigh in on this.
Northern blacks, for the most part, act just like white people (if they're middle class). They have no distinguishable "black" accent; the only way you can really identify them as black by their voice is if they have that deep timbre. They act just like everyone else too.
Southern blacks are fucking apes in comparison. I can't understand a word of what they say, and I'll never forget one black kid chimping out during a fucking final exam. Security or whatever had to be called in to drag him out and get him to settle down. The ONE black guy I've met down here who actually acted like a person and didn't have a black accent was from Indiana (which isn't really a Sourhern state). Northern and Southern black people might be both "African American" but they almost have two completely different cultures
