  • And its a shame that silly boys often make silly mistakes which can follow them well into the future. very sad

  • @AliciasSecret

    It's like how some people don't get into public office because word gets out that they shit their pants in the second grade. Thank you for your insight Alicia.

  • Unfortunately their are still ignorant and insensitive members of our educated society. It is to our advantage that they continue to show their ignorance to the public and rest of the world. How else can we recognize them and make sure they dont run for public office?

  • I'm reading chpt 4 right now but I have to do a study guide and it sucks

  • hmmm sad he sounds a lot like my voice...my son looked up cause he thought I was reading this.

  • What a cute troll. Trying to be a girl.

  • video isn't racist it is just stupid and annoying lol

  • I bet Frederick did talk like that

  • You already have people reading this looking like they are extras from "Roots". If anything, that is more offensive than this boy. They are setting us back as well. He is reading it like that because he thought it was funny to do that ridiculous accent that is the Hollywood version of the slaves. Don't knock him, knock the idiots that he got it from.

  • The accent really isn't funny. It just shows his immaturity at the time. If I, as a black woman, read this with a deep voice like his, people would crucify me. Why is it okay with him, because he is reading a narrative by a black person.I am not saying it is okay, but we shouldn't take everything too seriously, especially on youtube!!

  • i find this freaking funny!! because the min i picked this book up i read it out loud like that. :D and shut up guys!! hes not being rasist. He's just funny.

  • lol yall what if thats his real voice? Mush mouth! lmao, SMH

  • if only you would have read it correctly, that accent takes away from the message & the stuttering is epic... lol im jus trying to get out of buying the book for history class, but thanks anyway
