the Ups or fed-ex guy delivers the package almost everday at my workplace. i sign for it. Then he follows, whats your last name sir'? ........( i say it how it's' 'posed to be said) come again? .......( i do not change my accent) ok,how do you spell it again? i had to spell it out for him...(im thinkin,, stupid f** face ) I've changed the way i wanna be called. I mean i HAD TO. i rarely get "a what'? after i address my name. It saves you at times. i say keep accenting y'll. This nation was never ours. them callin our name in our accent? this is not going to happen. lets cut a deal. help ourselves. dont get it twisted,but thatss how you get diffused. salad bowl or the melting pot theory?
