“No. You got it wrong. It’s not
about sounding all nasal. It’s
about sounding like you don’t have
a care. Like your bills are paid
and you’re happy about your future
and you’re about to jump in your
Ferrari when you get off this call.
Put some extra breath in there.
Breezy, like you don’t need this
money, like you never been fired,
only laid off. It’s not what all
White people sound like- there
ain’t no real White voice, but it’s
what they wish they sounded like.
It’s what they think they’re
supposed to sound like.”
