Acommentator who compared Herschel Walker's so-called "stupid" speech to that of "countless Blacks in the Deep South" has earned intense scorn—largely from Black people who come from the South.

Michael Tracey, a journalist and recurring guest on the Fox News show Tucker Carlson Tonight, tweeted his response to critics of Georgia's GOP Senate candidate on Wednesday night. Trump-backed Herschel Walker and Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock are headed to a runoff election on December 6 after neither candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote this month.

"Herschel Walker doesn't come across as the ideal US Senator, but the main reason he's called 'stupid' seems to be because he speaks in a heavy regional dialect, with lots of colloquialisms. This alone does not make him 'stupid'––he sounds like countless Blacks in the Deep South," said Tracey.



Tracey's name, the phrase "Countless Blacks" and the phrase "Deep South" were all trending on Twitter by Thursday. His characterization of Walker's accent was broadly repudiated by people who shared their own experiences in the Southern Black community.

1. Doesn't sound like any black people that I know. And I lived in Atlanta

for twenty years.

2. It is the content of his speech

Not how he says it. He is an empty suit not much different than Tuberville or Hyde-Smith.

5. that's right..

werewolves, vampires, double speak...Walker is confident in his ignorance, impervious to shame, forever tripping over his mouth, yet, convinced his verbal diarrhea is weighty and thought-provoking..I'm not certain Walker comprehends he is McConnell's useful idiot, a useful idiot with a singular purpose..the ultimate seat-holder..it's not his dialect or cadence that is off-putting, it's that Democrat-hating white christians would vote for a folding chair if it meant owning THE LIBS and Walker is that folding chair..

16. They will vote for him but they wouldn't...

...invite over for dinner.

[live love laugh]

6. It's the LACK of content in his speech that's problematic.

Same as TFG — not POC from the South.

3. Funny thing about that...

I don't watch much video, I mainly read words. It's the words he spoke that I read which made me think he was stupid. I didn't add in an accent.

[RockRaven]

4. Uhh... He basically said "they all sound the same (like him) to me"

Yikes.

[DemocraticPatriot]

7. I have no recollection of any other black political candidates

talking about vampires and/or werewolves that he saw on TV---

(and turned out there were NO werewolves featured in the movie he referenced--
so I guess he cannot even tell the difference between movie vampires and werewolves???)


Actually, I have no recollection of any white candidates talking about them, either....

[exboyfil]

8. But some do talk about demons

Usually they are the GQP Christo-fascists.

9. Someone please get this imbecile a dictionary. That's not what s

dialect is.

[Skittles]

10. there's nothing wrong with the way he talks

something SERIOUSLY wrong with what he says though

[Celerity]

11. Tracey is hyper troll, a fake lefty who wilfully takes bullshit stances and gobs utter bollocks in

order to smear us Dems and the libs.

He is an archetypal shitposter.

Do not take his bait, would be my advice.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

12. Isn't he the clown who claimed Maxine Water assaulted him?

13. I have no problem with his accent or dialect.

It’s what the man is trying to say which at times makes zero sense.

[treestar]

15. So he's trying to help Walker

Get a sympathy vote for him from blacks in GA. At least that's what he thinks.

[Retrograde]

17. There are regional accents

Bennie Thompson has one: Mr. Retrograde, who was raised in Mississippi and Alabama, says he sounds like a Black Delta preacher. Mr. Thompson, however, has working brain cells - a lot of them - and can put words together in a coherent fashion so that they actually make sense.

Hershel Walker, on the other hand, can't seem to make a lick of sense no matter where is accent is from.

[gratuitous]

18. Thank goodness Michael Tracey is here to whitesplain Black argot

Because when I watched and listened to the video of Walker's remarks, I couldn't help but disagree with Walker's apparent conclusion, that he had faith and by implication faith superior to Raphael Warnock. I mean, Warnock is the literal successor to the pulpit once held by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. And Walker is trying to one up that with his rambling discourse on creature feature movies, as if that's reality.

19. He Talks

Like many football players who have had one too many concussions.
