Back in 2019, a study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that white liberals deploy what the researchers described as a “patronizing competence downshift” when talking to black people.
In short, white liberals either deliberately or unconsciously dumb down their language when they are talking to minorities.
White conservatives, however, don’t feel the need to employ this “competence downshift.” They talk the same way regardless of skin color.
The study also showed Democrat politicians use fewer words related to competence when speaking to black audiences than they do when speaking to white audiences. Conservative politicians, on the other hand, don’t.
The other day, I heard a painful clip from Kamala Harris that instantly made me think of this “competence downshift” study from 2019.
Earlier this week, Kamala did an interview on a black-centered radio show called “The Morning Hustle” where she confirmed that, just like white liberals, she thinks she has to talk to black people like they’re children.
As a Jamindian obliviot she doesn’t see herself as “black” and thinks she’s the smartest person in the room (sorry Hunter); no humility. So carries the “low expectations” with her.
I don’t think SHE downshifted at all! I think that’s how she THINKS!
This woman really is a dumb party girl. That’s it!
KAMALA HARRIS EMBODIES EVERYTHING I DESPISE ABOUT THE LEFT:
DUMB YET ARROGANT
ENTHRONED BECAUSE OF GENDER AND RACE, NOT CAPABILITY
DOPE SMOKING, DICK SUCKING OPPORTUNIST
AMERICA-HATING
“I DESERVE THIS” SENSE OF PRIVILEGE
CORRUPT. LYING. SACK OF USELESS SHIT
From ebonics, to dumbing down test scores, to affirmative action, to CRT, to accepting crime and idiots walking around with their pants around their ankles, what else can you take away but that blacks are inferior?
That is not me saying it, that is exactly what their ideology confers.
This shit will continue as long as blacks vote in lockstep with the democrat party.
They will continue to be condescended to and taken advantage of.
Dem cities will continue to be shitholes where blacks live like vermin and kill each other.
Conservatives see this, point this out and yet noting changes.
SMDH…
When she downshifts, her mouth opening goes from 2″ to 3″.
You know, like going from her casual cackle to her hysterical laughter where her pie hole is big enough to swallow a baseball bat.
@GM — a baseball bat and two baseballs.
¡BENITO TBB! — It has never been said any better than you just said it. Bullseye!
I have nieces that are teachers.
They do the same thing when they talk to Adults.
My sister in law was an early childhood educator who also speaks the same way.
All leftie libs.
I have called them out on it many times. They can’t help it.
Kcir, you have to raise your eyebrows and call them sweetie.
“Oh, sweetie, don’t try to use big words to impress me, be yourself”…..is what I said to one of my kids kindergarten teachers once.
Try it on your nieces. Something interesting is bound to happen.
I look them straight in the eyes and say, I’m older than you, and I’m not retarded. pisses them right off.
thanks burr.
Kcir, I worked in bars and restaurants for years and years. There is nothing, nothing more infuriating for a woman than to be called sweetie. It’s not even a gender thing. It’s a condescension thing.
“Oh….sweetie, when you get a little older, polysyllabic words will come a lil’ easier to you.”
Doesn’t matter what she says in response because you follow up by calling her buttercup and asking if she wants ice cream and if she wants to ride the mechanical horsie in front of the drug store.
It’s lots of fun.
Like when a fat woman looks at you mean and you act all innocent and say “What. I don’t have a sammich.”
“downshift” is the “drop-to the-knees” green flag is it not for Kamalalala ding-dong?!
Woid is she really knows how to drive a stick…
She’s exactly what I expect from a quota hire.
Yo, Burr ….—- what’s “polysyballic?”
Putin doesnt want Kamala, the Heels up Whore in his bed she’ll have no impact….
Downshift?
Naaaaaah….
They pushed competence out the back door 80 miles back on the freeway.
Listening to that stupid cunt and her deballed son bitching about Ron DiSantis not enforcing pointless mask mandates makes me think the reason democrats treat black democrats like stupid children is because that’s exactly what many of them are.
Rumors’ have it that Kamala pee’d on Putin’s bed.
To the surprise of absolutely no one.
She’s had her head hitting the headboard too hard and too often.
Trust me, it’ll scramble your brains.
Speaking of brains, Willie took advantage of her non-working gag-reflex and tapped her corpus collosum.
Why would anyone want to suck a duck?
Oh. Never mind.
