Every black american is bilingual. All of them. We speak street vernacular and we speak job interview. There’s a certain way I gotta speak to have access. If I’m sitting across the table from a studio executive, ya know, somtimes they’ll do it to me. (mimics executive) “Hey my man what’s happening”. Hold up. Hold up, no no no no no. And I gotta throw out them big words. I gotta let them know that my parents are probably smarter than your parents. Much better educated than your parents. But they may not have had the access that your parents had.
— Dave Chappelle (Inside The Actors Studio)
