Hillary's language "Code-Switching"

from Tea With George · host George Caylor, Diane Gruber, Steve Putney

Have you heard of the term “code switching?” I think Hillary Clinton invented it when she made up the southern black accent, trying appeal to black voters. During her first run for the Democrat nomination in 2008, Hilary adopted this form of pandering to speak in a black church. This was amusing and pathetic. Would black Americans vote for her, who previous planned not to vote, or to vote for someone else? Who knows? Did it have an opposite effect for black voters who felt insulted? Who knows?   Maybe the dialect she spoke just evolved over the years. But code-switching is a term used in linguistics to describe tailoring one’s language to fit the audience.  It requires a speaker to make certain assumptions of her audience, which too often reveals the speaker to be a bigot.  Sponsored by the Caylor Group Wealth Management in Lynchburg VA.
