We are not talking about local dialects here.  We are talking about the
English language in the entire world and what is right or wrong in the
use of it.  You seem to be confused.  Just because there is a dialect in
east Tennessee where people say "tar" for a tire, "far" for fire, "war"
for wire, "diddle" for baby chicken instead of biddy, etc., does not
mean that this is correct English.  Correct English conforms to correct
pronunciation.  Otherwise, why have dictionaries giving the correct
pronunciation?

You, evidently, have become too educated about language and have become
confused about the basic and fundamental rules of speaking and
pronouncing English correctly as it should be today in the United States
and not how it is pronounced in strange ways by people is certain areas
of the United States and the world.  Even worse, you strive to find out
some excuse for many negroes having pronouncing it wrong for a few
hundred years while people from many other countries learn very quickly
how to pronounce it and do it correctly.

The fact is that many negroes are just plain stupid and don't place any
importance on pronouncing it correctly (And some may derive their
support from you.)  Unfortunately, it will effect their whole lives a
great deal.  Many will often end up with a Mcjob.  People will recognize
that they don't give a damn about how they speak and walk and talk and
behave, in general.  Many are trashy and say "muhfugger" instead of
motherfucker.  Etc., etc., etc., etc.
