Accommodating Speech To Fit In Or Stand Out



Communication Accommodation Theory

Oofta: “ jazz-age term for bojango-types who blacked it up for white audiences; modulates blackness up or down depending on what he wants from them”

Nose job: “smooth their black edges and try to blend in; worst fear is that they blackness will cause a bust or draw attention so they use it to self-deprecate”.

One Hundred: "a person who keeps in 100% real, or 100% black, uncensored."
