Hillary Clinton's Doing Her Vile Fake Southern Accent Again
She's just awful in every way imaginable, and in several more you couldn't even think of.
"She needs to stop doing that risible fake accent," emails Madonna. Compare to her her "I don' feel no ways tired, I come too faaahr" Negro accent from 2007. Corrected: I put up a pic of what I thought was Hillary eating a fish. It wasn't Hillary; it was German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But I think this is a good replacement:Okay media, time to be fair and ask Hillary Clinton if she agrees with Bernie Sanders on the unemployment rate pic.twitter.com/yPNWxfPVFG

That said, this is the only one I kind of give her a pass on. She lived here (Arkansas) for enough years to have legit picked up some of the accent. And I could see it being easy to slip into when she finds herself amongst southerners.
My accent gets much less pronounced when outside of the south and then I come home and it bounces right back.

I'm guilty of putting on an accent when talking w/ someone who has a strong one myself. I can't help it. I do try to keep a lid on it, but it's very hard. I've always WANTED an accent, and I envy people who have them. I sound like the world's most boring cereal commercial spokeswoman: bland white woman voice extraordinaire.

For that matter, people from different parts of Charleston have different accents, and some people in the south seem to have "no accent" as in the bland TV homogenized "American" accent at all. The movement of people, the exposure to broader culture, and TV/Radio/Movies have done a lot of damage to tight regional accents.

My mom's from England, and her accent isn't as strong now as it used to be but it's still there. I tend to lapse into a brit accent whenever I'm asking a question; it's irrepressible. I suppose my subconscious views it as a sign of respect or something. I can't stop it, so I long ago gave up trying. Coworkers think it's hilarious.

It's like the difference b/w a Massachusetts/Boston accent and a Yankee/Mainer accent. The latter is much softer and less grating than the former. Strong Mass accents make my ears hurt, but strong yankee accents are gorgeous. Very soothing.
Boston Brahmin (think Kennedy) is a different accent altogether, and even more annoying than regular Boston.

Pre-internet, it was much easier to get away with this, because there was no "crowd-sourcing" and if the MSM covered for you, you could get away with it.
So politicians did it all the time -- they'd go to a union meeting and say "Let's stick it to those bosses -- union power forever!!!" and get big applause.
And then a week later in a different state, you'd address the Chamber of Commerce and say, "I suport right-to-work laws to help small businessmen!" and get big applause for that.
And neither audience would ever know what you said to the other audience. Because it was a "local" story and/or because the media was kept out, or because the media willingly covered for you.
Bill Clinton did that all the time. As did Hillary. As did Yasser Arafat ("I seek peace!" in English to the UN, followed by "Exterminate the Jews!" in Arabic at Ramallah, etc.), as did a lot of folks.
But the Internet has changed all that.
Hillary, however, still hasn't caught on to the new reality, So she switches accents and messages all the time, to match the audience in front of her.

The Maine/Rural New England accent is really very hard to do if you don't have an ear for it. I can't do it at all. Anyone can fake a NY accent (with varying degrees of success), but faking the accent of a Maine lobsterman is not for the faint of heart. Which is a shame, because I love it!

Actually, this concept was still valid as of 2008.
That's when Barack Obama, who desperately needed to put Hillary away in the South Carolina primary, played the black-church homophobia card.
Obama threw an official campaign rally in SC, to which busloads of black-church Democratic voters had been brought, and he put on stage, as an official speaker, one of those claimed "ex-gay" types. One who refers to homosexuality as "an illness" that can be "cured" through "reparative therapy" and prayer.
The black church surely do hate them some fags. (And not just in the Palmetto State. Here in Commiefornia, the black church vote for the ballot initiative to ban gay marriage was formidable.)
So the black churches got the message, voted hugely for Obama, Clinton was safely disposed of, and then the rally and any word of its existence was stuffed straight down the memory hole by the snooze media.
Urban homosexual Democratic voters outside of South Carolina had no idea about this "ex-gay" business being pushed by Obama at the time, and they continue to not have any idea to this day.
So, the lesson is that at least as recently as seven years ago, you could still get away with microtargeting and narrowcasting of controversial campaign messaging if you had the media in your corner.

*********************
I worked as green-suiter in Francophone Africa with an ex-Army civilian contractor who was supposed to be our French linguist on the team. He was, of course, from deep bayou country. I don't speak a lick of French and I could tell that what was coming out of his mouth had nothing to do with the French language, and sounded suspiciously like just taking the English word and speaking it with a Cajun French-sounding accent. The thing is, when he spoke alleged English, it all sounded exactly the same. But somehow our African counterparts figured it out and did a damned good job.

Funny thing, I've been saying "y'all" for YEARS in SoCal. Not ironically, not sarcastically, it's just something I picked up somewhere. Yet now that I've moved to Texas, I find myself subconsciously avoiding the word when talking to folks here, because I don't want anyone thinking that I'm the asshole from California that mocks the way Texans talk.

I will say that 90% of people in the North don't really have an identifiable accent.
Some do. In rural areas there are still a few people who have a strong Northern New England accent.
Rhode Island has some of the "Boston" accent.
Northern New Jersey and SOME parts of NY (like Long Island) still have the "New York" accent although it's really not that common.

My understanding is that part of what got the legendary Mel Blanc hired was that when he auditioned, he was asked to do a Southern accent.
Mel proceeded to do ten different absolutely perfect regional voices.
The boss doing the hiring was a bona fide Southerner and recognized the presence of genius when he heard it.
