To me it sounds like one of the characters from the cartoon "The Boondocks".

That's actually satirical humor, it's supposed to mirror how people talk in real life. The intentionally make black people stereo typically black and white people stereo typically white (barring the main characters).

You just made me really want to watch the Boondocks.

If you're interested, read the comic as well. I'm not sure where you'd find it and it might be a bit boring to read now (as it was a daily newspaper comic), but it was absolutely hilarious.

interesting find, but not really anything to talk about.. Just like saying some games make all Middle-eastern people terrorists etc. Some people actually talk that way and they don't seem to mind (this is something that happens to every language regardless of origin and place). People just talk differently in different parts of the country. Deal with it :3

Yeah, her voice is definitely overacted.

I don't really think that's racist, though.

...so?

Slavery happened, right?
Slaves would at times talk like that, right?

It's history. History happened. You can ignore the past but you can't remove it. It's always gonna be there. Now, this character is also living in the fucking slums, and is a homeless trash-woman. I would say that the dialect fits, as some poor, uneducated lady. Christ, stop being so fucking over-sensitive people. This is the problem with society today, people are too afraid to say anything that might offensive, and are the first to call someone out as racist when they see something that might be offensive.

I make racist jokes irl all the time. I don't do it to be hurtful, I do it because they tend to be fuckin hilarious. A black friend of mine from highschool posted a pic of himself on facebook where he had a weird smile and was staring wide eyed off to the side. I messaged him saying I was gonna photoshop it, and he was gonna hate me for it. He told me to bring it on.

A few minutes later, I upload a pic of him now staring right at a kfc bucket, and proceeded to tag him in it. He thought it was hilarious, and even went to far as to set it as his profile pic for two weeks, while he has a LOT of his (obviously black) family on facebook as well.. I didn't do it to be mean or hurtful, I did it because it was a joke, and I know this guy can take a joke when he sees one. He liked it. I didn't get any hate messages from any of his friends or family. It was a light hearted, funny thing I threw together.
The Holocaust happened.
9/11 happened.
The T?hoku earthquake and tsunami happened.

But we don't fucking joke about things like that.

And as for the KFC photoshop, it just makes you seem like an even bigger asshole. I don't care whether you and your friend laughed at it.
