Everyone acting as though the lyrics in this song were ahead of it's time. As a person who was brought up in this time era... I can assure you we were all on point with this. Feels like we have gone in reverse the last ten years for some reason.
We definitely have went backwards I remember the 90s too and I thought we were more progressive then than we are now
It's funny that in the decade of the Rodney King beating and the O.J. Simpson trial, black-white relations in the USA were better than today. The amount of fear and distrust being instigated by politicians/media/educational system is sickening. Anyone who doesn't believe it, can ask an black person over 35. Same goes for m/f relations. The only thing that's gotten better is LGBT. They really had it tough in the 90s.
This is true
Oh yes.
This.
I'm a hardcore metal rock dude. This song is amazing. Easily one of the best rock songs of the decade. Hugely underated group.
Heavy metal fan here....these chicks kinda rule though
600% agreed
Fr? This used to be my stripper song 🥁..
Also, I kind of just wanted to unclutter my head but here we r again. Sigh..I haven't heard this in awhile
@@ahhwe-any7434 it's amazing energy for a stripper song though.
And ya know this wasn't even a rock song. It's was r&b. But I agree this can definitely be considered a rock song
The only group ever comprised of 4 lead singers. EPIC
Epic comment! 💯
RIGHT ON! Fab 4 all the way!!
If only Destiny's Child had been as egalitarian. The women of En Vogue have always been able to have their own individuality and time to shine without trying to outshine one another---seamlessly balancing solos with tight harmonies. It keeps things fresh.
They all have unique gorgeous looks.
More than 30 years later, still kicks more rear end than 95% of modern music
They were one of the strongest (vocally) girl groups in history. You can never compare girl groups of today who are all about visuals to these legendary ladies who has given us one of the most iconic girl empowerment anthems.
"One of"? Name a fitting rival, and I would concede, but I dispute your claim to their being "one of". They were thee strongest when it came to shared vocals. Every lady could sing, and we all knew it, because each voice was heard.
@@valentinomiller6251 Come on... have you heard of The Supremes? If not, then you're in for some serious vocal talent
This song has more meaning then any from females these days. Need more like this
dman Woowoo The supremes? Seriously! I love them but they don’t hold a candle to En Vogue vocally!
What about other 90s groups like TLC and Destiny's Child?
These women were classy sexy and sophisticated. Who's listening in 2020?
This was one of the CD's i took on my last tour in KSA! Cranked this song out full volume over the loudspeakers every chance I got. Ah mems!
I am. They're classy! HOT! BEAUTIFUL! This tune is JAMMING!!!
me
😍
Mlucious67 they were totally awesome!!!
I'm 40 years old and forgot how damn good they were!! There is nothing comparable in today's music to what these ladies were putting out!
Just turned 40 myself. Man I miss the 90s!
They had great liveshwos during the pandemic, worth a listen :D
I'm about to be 39 and allllll the feels to this and missing the 90s! These "times" suck! Lol
I'm 63 and STILL jammin' with this! lol
@@melanieanne2066 ❤I have this CD .
My Dad was a textbook 80's metal head, and he LOVED this song. I would constantly find him blasting it and air guitar-in'
My kind of guy I was a rocker to I had guns and roses album appetite for destruction
Good music is good music. I'm all over the place with what I listen to.
Yeah, I loved Metal in college( 89-94), but this was one of my favorite songs. Most of their songs actually. Along with some of the (then new) rap. Good music is good music.
My dad is a rocker through and through and we LOVED this song when it came out.
Im a metal guy, but i also like R&B music, Ill listen to Metalica or Korn one moment and listen to Erykah Badu or Maxwell another moment. So I appreciate En Vogue for crossing boundries and doing two genres of music i enjoy
More black artists should do rock. It sounds powerful
Black artists created rock!
Listen to some old school black rockers or some early punk rock pioneers. If you like a bit of edge listen to Bad Brains and the band called Death. Want more mainstream listen to Janet Jackson's Black Cat which she wrote and produced herself or obviously the most iconic star of all time Michael Jackson. Listen to his soong give in to me featuring Slash or the classic Dirty Diana.
@@nag8649 - Yes MA'AM! Damn good recommendations! If I could just add one to your list - Living Color!!! (Not the show, the rock band.) Here's a link to one of my favorite songs of theirs - it rocks. HARD. ruclips.net/video/7xxgRUyzgs0/видео.html 🤘

Someone asked on fb what is my fav vid from the 90s and I had to revisit lol :)) this is the one.
"I wear tight clothing and high heel shoes
It doesn't mean that I'm a prostitute"...Still love this line! It's funny that this song was made 24 years ago and it's meaning is still prevalent today more than ever.
That's true the way the world is fling today

Yep
Right. Because the 1990s were, like, the Middle Ages.
These ladies don't get enough credit for the generation they inspired, shame.
Going strong since the 90's
Killerella, sadly they hardly got paid for it😥
Very true.
they don't? I'm removed from society so I don't honestly know. I was pretty sure they were VERY highly regarded, and still are...?
Well said
Positive message
Great music
Amazing vocals
Cowbell
Truly legendary
Modern music needs more cowbell!
Holy fucking shit, there is a cowbell in there!!!!!
🤯 YES!!!! THE COWBELL!!!!
you forgot smokin hot divas
@@MeauxGreenMusic - every white GenXer and Elder Millennial wondered where the application was when she said, “might date another race or color”, including myself lol
This is what classy women look and act like. Sexy not slutty. Talented beyond belief. Friggin LOVE En Vogue and have since 1990 wheb I first saw them. I am 42 now and still rock their cds. Yes...cds. Played on a actual boom box. No streaming downloading for me 😛
I first saw En Vogue in about 1992. I think. I'm 72 years old, and I love them!!
The harmonies these ladies pull off in all their songs are insane. 80’s babies grew up in the golden era of music. No way can you change my mind.
You would have to be born in the 70s to appreciate the 90s
90s 💯
@@MichaelOBrien71 I was born in the early 80s and I appreciate and remember this music.
I will have to disagree(without changing your mind) on the grounds that the music from my Boomer parents was better. 70's were amazing. I think because the technology didn't allow to overproduce a song with prerecorded samples. People had to play all the instrumental parts and record them over and over to layer them over the melody.
Lo
Besides the obvious incredible voices. The individual FASHION and attitude they had was incredible!
also love your profile picture.
the video is still just as cool as it was back in the day.... that guitar =) the girls are very sexy
kimmyfreak200 living colour was bad ass
Tinky Dinky they were wearing gaultier
They were the best because they were all EQUALLY talented and beautiful. Nobody being "carried."
Thirty-two years later and this song still slams HARD! Everything about it -- beat, lyrics, vocals, video, message - everything is HOT! This one should make you move and think. If it doesn't, check your brain at the door.
It's gonna be 30 years since this came out and everything they had sported from hair, makeup and fashion is still perfectly wearable today and a delight to look at, chic and classy, including the band and the extras! Love it!
30 years, doesn't seem possible
@@annettecantu3826 Ikr!?
I see how this def influenced Britney's Toxic video. The outfits, the angles. Def iconic
Oh yeah, I was 10, 30 years ago
I was in college when this came out. They were Destiny's Child before there was Destiny's Child.
Lyrics 🗣
I wear tight clothing and high heel shoes
It doesn't mean that I'm a prostitute
I like rap music wear hip hop clothes
That doesn't mean that I'm sellin' dope
Oh please forgive me, for having straight hair
It doesn't mean there's another blood in my heirs
I might date another race or color
Doesn't mean I don't like my strong black brothers
Why oh why must it be this way
Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me, I said
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be colour blind, don't be so shallow.
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be colour blind, don't be so shallow
So I'm a sistah
Buy things with cash
That really doesn't mean that all my credit's bad, oooh
So why dispute me and waste my time
Because you really think the price is high for me
I can't look without being watched, no
You rang my buy before I made up my mind, ow!
Oh now attitude, why even bother
I can't change your mind, you can't change my colour
Why oh why must it be this way?
Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me, I said
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be colour blind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be colour blind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind and the rest will follow

thabk you for that
This hits so hard. The high notes are crazy!!!
Funky Divas was (and is to this day) one of the best albums I've ever owned! Their voices meld so beautifully together. They are very, very underrated. Love En Vogue!
It's out on purple vinyl 💜
Same! 🙋🏻♀️
En Vogue casually slayed the muthafuckin’ GAME with this song, video and style! This still boppin in 2019...these divas were WAAAAY ahead of their time!!!
Well said!!!!
I agree. Im back here in 2021
Not really ahead. Was talking about this back then. Still talking about it now.
"BEFORE YOU CAN READ ME, YOU GOTTA LEARN HOW TO SEE ME."
THIS!
Amen
Agreed. Watch this and TRY NOT to see beyond the exterior...
reminds me of an old phrase about book covers and not judging, if I may make such a gross comparison. Coming from an older generation/environment where appearance was, unfortunately, a factor in judgement, i'm privileged to have had these ladies, among so many more, to show me the correct and humane way of seeing people. Thank You!
Still relevant in 2020
"BE COLORBLIND... DON'T BE SO SHALLOW." Pretty powerful sentiment. Especially today, June 2, 2020. Can I get a witness?
I’m 65 and still loving this song!!
Song was way ahead of its time.
One of the most underrated female groups. Talented badass vocals. All of them singing can do lead . Gorgeous, great songs , great videos .

Yet they are the fourth biggest selling all female group ever after The Spice Girls TLC and Destinies Child.
Underrated? They were on heavy rotation on every top 40 station in the US for a solid 5 YEARS.
@@whatareyoudoingyouidiot342 I think they mean People don't talk about them as much or give them credit like Destiny's Child and others

It was the anthem then as well.
Ya. Fo real though.
Yup. Yup. Yup.
Yea same rascist puppets still run the media
Agreed!
this is a master piece.. powerfull lyrics.. powerfull vocals, powerfull musical work, 1000% attitude.. pure power...
Agreed!!
Couldn't agree more!!! Absolutely brilliant 👏
So true!
YESSS!!!!!!
The visuals, the song, the looks….so ahead of its time! Wow!
This song is still a banger 30-some years later.
12 year old me discovering rock music, race politics and the baddest Bs on Earth, all on one sunny day in 1992.
That's wonderful! It seems they are trying to teach young people your age that the world was just a chaotic mess before the past 3 years, that noone got along, races hated each other, etc. Take a look at Woodstock 1969. We are much divided now. 😢😢🙁
Baddest most beautiful intellectual beings on Earth-

Most talented female group of all time. I said it and mean it, born in 83!
That is true!!! Born in 81.
Without doubt!
I agree!
Born in ‘71 and you all have a point. Stay strong family!!
sucks they broke up
"I can't change your mind, you can't change my color."
~Maxine Jones
It's always been my favorite line in the song.
No foul language, just a powerful message by four gorgeous, beautiful women.
Who can actually sangggggggggggggggggggg!
You said it best, Rodrigo!
EPIC. Flawless. Timeless. This is one of those songs that will stand stylistically alone. There will never be another one like it.
how this don't have a billion views kills me. the message, the vocal powerhouse, the message.. one of the best girl group of the 90s.
Barbie will do a billion easy$$
They didn't have click bots when this came out.
En Vogue ! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
All these older groups and singers would have well over a billion if you counted the number of times their music videos played on TV!
I listen to Alternative, Alt rock, Metal, Industrial, industrial rock, classic rock... rock rock rock. But I gotta say this classic kicks total ass. Awesome message in it too.
Indeed, and it is amazing how relevant and timeless this song really is.
Agreed. Because sadly, prejudice itself is timeless, in some form or another =( Love this song, especially its message. I've always liked the video too, but watching it now, as an adult, it kinda feels like some of the message is lost lol What with all the dazzle and of course the stunning beauty of the artists xD
PREACH💖 FREE YOUR MIND❣ PEACE&LOVE... IT'S WHATS UP❣
Same with in my taste of music. However always and have loved this group. Was nice hearing their message and powerful women!
thats what im sayin man
I remember when they released this song. Many were shocked. I'm glad that their musical team had them take risks. This worked well
It was at number 1 for an eternity here in the UK. It really is a great song, and gets it's message across far more effectively than any of the mindless PC nonsense happening today.
Sadly it was the only real success story En Vogue had over here. A few of their other songs were reasonably well known because they were in movies - but that was it. They vanished from the charts after this song and only get mentioned now on a handful of music channels when a 90's recap must be produced.
They got to go in the Hall of Fame. I hope it happen soon. We should all write to the Chambers of Music and Arts
We should I'm with it let's do it
My mom is and has always been my superhero, she’s fighting an aggressive disease and even in this critical moment I just put this song on and she smiled thru the pain squeezed my hand and started singing humming even a little shimmy shoulder shake in her hospital bed.

The absolute BEST group. Destinys Child couldn't even light a candle to them.
EnVogue was a beautiful group of extremely talented women

it seems these lessons have been lost n forgotten

Took the words right out of my head this Sunday morning
Talking about today!!! People!!! FREE YOUR MIND!!! C’mon. We are all on this earth together!!!
that line is why i came to watch this video....BE COLOUR BLIND...i have been my whole life...but NOW, my 30 year old daughter is telling me i HAVE TO SEE COLOR or i'm a racist lol...fuck the commies for the divisive brainwashing
Free your mind ! And the rest will follow, Be a Leader, not a follower, Don't allow people to think for you, follow your heart, not your head
Yes, the message is still relevant, and important. Open your mind, and open your eyes.
A group where everyone can sing. Don't see that too often, do we?
Love this song.
xmn12380 yes that's what I'm trying tell folks 'one person is not bigger then the group' it shouldn't be
"Why dispute me and waste my time?" (1:43)
That's some serious wisdom and hard thinking there.
Lyrics are STILL REVELEVANT TODAY! I loved this song as a kid and still do. Powerful and just EVERYTHING.

And Whitney with Queen of the Night.
This song is so relevant to today!

+Josephine Girling you have it wrong they're not saying "white is beautiful" it's that persons username
The mix of R'N'B and rock is so good in this. Great hook.
Do your music research. Where do you think Rock came from ?
@@sunrae7680 Black Americans invented 50s Rock N Roll, but then they moved onto R&B, Soul, Funk, Hip-Hop. This song has Hard Rock guitar and drums. It's a different animal.
How many Black people do you know that like Hard Rock? Probably not many as it's "White music" and I don't blame them.
This video was ahead of its time it looks like I could have been shot this year 2024❤
Pure talent. Never had to bare their butts to be famous. No scandals. No illuminati.
God I hope newer generations discover these badass queens. They have such beautiful voices and are stunning. Not only that but they had purpose in their lyrics as well. I am so glad I grew up in the 90s listening to them and admiring them. They are amazing
Also one of the few groups where every woman could sing, and every one sang lead on at least one hit. They had untouchable harmonies and individual vocals, as well as cutting edge style and videos
The best part is they are real women
I'm 20 and my mom played a lot of 80s and 90s music, En Vogue being one of her favorites. This song is one of my all time favorites
I'm 28 and my mom used to play stuff like this all the time I love it

Amen to that. Was thinking the same thing. Free your mind and the rest will follow. Be color blind. Don't b so shallow!
Thing is today when you say you're "color blind" people sneer at you. :( When did "color blind" and "one race human" change from a goal to a thing to be ridiculed for?

Not ahead of their time, but OF their time. "Colorblindness" is a very 90s concept that is now considered "problematic" by the woke.
THIS IS MY THEME SONG. I play this song on my way to work and play. My swagger is awesome!
If it was awesome you wouldn't have to tell strangers online
Like Alley McBeal💃🚸😂
I'm a white guy who is approaching his 50s & I had this CD back in the day. I love the harmony of the ladies & they're so gorgeous to boot. I don't see colors & I respect all religions. I would marry the lead singer in a heartbeat. 😍😍😍😍😍
Not many singers can blend Rock & R&b and harmonize so well
erickiam25 everything derived from Rhythm and Blues, well the Blues, then R&B and Rock
Anastacia could :D
Aaliyah Janet
I love it when they mix like that. It gives the music power
Damn. Right??
I love how this song is a perfect mixture of r & b, pop and rock😍😍
I agree this has that catchy beat you find yourself moving too Micheal Jackson the along of Pop collaborated a lot with Eddie Van Halen on Thriller and BAD like Dirty Dianna is strongly Eddie Van Halen guitars
Jlo needs to follow
My sister and I blasted this song every day for a year in high highschool. These sisters gave us so much strength 🙌🏻
I remember being a little girl cat walking in my living room singing this song at the top of lungs. (probably to the detriment of my family members) This song felt so powerful then and I didn’t even grasp the full concept why, all these years later it feels just as powerful. Except now, I fully get it ♥️
Lesbian is the new black
@@nielshansen193 ummm 🤔
Girl, we all did! LOL.
No catwalking for me but I did have a huge crush on these chics when I was a kid
Can't say I ever catwalked but this song will make you move if not you're dead lol
this has to be THE most fierce video of all time!
Yeah it is!
this group is way ahead of their time.
They came out in the 90’s. Ofc. Do ur homework
@@kelliscott9693 are you sure they did?...
Yes this song is from 91-92. This album is the only album I’d lock myself up and lipsynch from start to finish. Glad these were the women I was looking up to.
@@nfbody yup, great song, great group.
🎶😍 We could use more music like this💞
It's amazing how music from almost 15 years ago can still apply to today's society, 100%. It's also kind of sad that people even had to make these sort of statements, then AND now. But, what are you gonna do? People will always be shallow and ignorant, unfortunately. Thankfully, though, now people aren't afraid to speak out and be strong. So not only is this song the fucking jam, it's also incredibly powerful and positive. Man, the 90's were fuckin iconic
to make your point even more dramatic: this song is actually over 20 years old :0
And to make the point even more dramatic still: this song is, at this point in time (Oct. '16), almost 25 years old! Yup!
La la la not listening I'm still in my 20's blah blah blah :D
So you're on a rant about people's prejudice while you have a screen name about boinking dead people?
Sometimes stereotypes are true, that is how they become known as stereotypes. Is it fair to paint everyone that fits the description HAS one of the idiots? No, of course not. But it's human nature to do so.
Super.Chuck First of all, not sure what you're getting your panties in a twist for. I didn't say anything about a stereotype, I was just saying how this music is empowering and how it's unfortunate that some of the prejudice and ignorance is still happening today??? Not sure what's wrong with me saying that & also don't care. And secondly, you really need to get your facts straight, my dude. *Necrophilia* is when you commit sexual acts on a dead body. *Necromancy* is basically calling upon spirits and talking to the dead. But either way, thanks for your opinion? And regardless, have a great day👌
Before Destiny's Child there was En Vogue ... so miss the 90s
+Sean Griffith People who think Destiny's Child are even in the same platform as this song birds, must be very young. Fact 1, all the girls in this group could sing lead, all this girl could keep a harmony from beginning of the song till the end, and 3 When you heard this ladies you can actually heard them all as one.
En Vogue smokes Destiny's Child! The End!
ROCK + FUNK = KICK ASS MUSIC ON STEROIDS!! ❤
We went backwards...That song was/is/always will be Relevant......
I grew up with En Vogue and now at 49, this song is more relevant and important than ever. The key quote “ be color blind, don’t be so shallow” 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 should hit a nerve with people as this is the truth living in 2020!! Be kind to one another and never judge a person by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. A MLK quote I still stand by today. We need more love and to learn from one another, we all have qualities that are worthy, we are all human beings.🌎❤️🌎❤️🌎❤️🌎❤️🌎❤️🌎❤️🌎❤️🌎❤️🌎❤️🌎❤️
Agree 100% as well as another track I'd only just discovered days ago. Salt n Pepa- Imagine feat. Sheryl Crow. I didn't know the song existed until it popped up in my feed. The lyrics are even more so poignant.
Ya where are they now? This messege is more relevant today than ever. This song should be released again.
Cheryl Crow kicks ass! Her and Alanis ruled the 90's!
I agree 100 percent
Too bad the brain washed kids say colorblind is racist today!
I was a metalhead back when this song came out and I can tell you that most of us liked it.
Amen to that fact.
No offense but I first read that as "methhead". Lol
My metalhead husband loves this song and def confirms this statement (:
Nobody has the right to judge someone if you don't know their life or what circumstances are ❤
I came straight here after hearing Beyoncé’s new “country” music, I get that she’s going in a different genre, but it stills sounds too pop and R&B. Now En Vogue definitely knew how to do it right. This is nothing like there soul and R&B roots, it’s solid rock and it hits every time.
Not being rude, but when sisters Rock, they rock like no body's business. Like the queen Tina Turner. The Queen of Rock &' Roll!
Your statement wasn't rude, it was the truth spoken!!
Amen
Tina Turner is The Queen of Rock &' Roll in the book, she #1! ;)'
Yes we need more black female rockers. Janet Jackson did one too and I still listen to it today.
@@steloneil6699 I think it's more a matter of opinion. Which is his/ her/ your right. We're all entitled to it.
"I might date another race or colour. It doesn't mean I don't like my strong black brothers." Tell em girl!!!
bass reemer NOT AT ALL
It's not for others to define anything. That's the point.
@@amirolayinka5936 Not at all. I am not vegetarian but I WILL eat vegetarian dishes. I don't have celiac disease but I also eat gluten free dishes. Some of their food is delicious. Just as I will have ham and eggs for breakfast on the same day I eat a vegan biryani for lunch, so too can I love anyone from any race. They are the ones with the restrictions, not me. FREE YOUR MIND.
YES!!
Awesome answer !
I'm so glad I lived my teenage at late 90'&early 20'. Great music, no woke-shit, no social media (there were so little anything in Internet)... And coolest fashion ever.
AND WE GOT REAL MTV
I decided to refresh my memory with En Vogue. I remember my parents got this sick stereo system for the living room and always bought the latest tapes. En Vogue is just it. All of it. This song gave me goosebumps just like it did in the 90s.
This level of talent is sorely missed today. All of them had great voices (no freakin' auto-tune) Great harmonies, very sexy and beautiful, without being trashy. Maybe they should make a comeback and show the new kids how it's done.
I wish they would make a comeback
no autotune?
this is studio recorded stupid
@@christianprimig3362 who are you talking to because it made no sense
ABSOLUTELY! THE BEST! 💜🙌
Truth
Anyone else brought here by just lovin music from the 90's in general or En Vogue specifically???
just gone into old school mode these past few days,Marvin Gaye,commodores,Angie Stone and now En Vogue.lol
80's baby!
All of the Above!
yeah
Jesper Schultz yea you and 10million others. What u think we just stumbled on this video by accident
En Vogue performed at the Boston Pops July 4th concert, and I forgot how much they ROCK! I've been listening to their songs on repeat ever since. Loved them in high school, and continue to love them in middle age. :)
People should listen to this message today! Free your mind and the rest will follow. Be colorblind dont be so shallow.
Jonika Ismail As Snoop said, “We’re all black in the dark”. ✌🏼
Especially the Colorblind part. As many now consider THAT racist.
"Why oh why must it be this way?".... Powerful question that we are still asking today....
It makes a hell of a lot of money for to many people.
been asking that for hundreds of years. still no answer
You do know a lot of the questions/ statements in this song were directed at the black community right?
@@jamesodom6456 A couple of the lyrics can. Not all.
@@123terricam did you live hundreds of years wow i have so many questions.
so needed right now 2024
Agree. Love these girls.
4人の共通しながらも別々の衣装が最高にいい。日本にも影響を与えていると思う。😊
They should've done more rock songs! They did it great!
Totally agree. This song just rocks!!!!!
Does anyone else get judged because they speak proper? I absolutely hate when some people say that I speak like a “white person” or “too white”! What the hell does that even mean? It’s called educated for those that are wondering! Yes, we all have different dictions and accents, but proper is proper! There’s no such thing as “talking white”! It’s called speaking fluently and talking correctly!
Free your mind people, because life is too short! You will never know when you’ll need a helping hand from someone! That helping hand may speak “white” or “black”, or whatever else they call it...We are all human and deserve to live in peace amongst one another, no matter the race or color!
- En Vogue’s song is still relevant in 2021!
yes. it is def something that taught or over heard. we both had or heard things on both sides. with me it all started when i went to school. I was never raised to judge or say bad things about others. but i def heard things or seen things. Now, i look and think i wish i could speak as clear and articulate words like most. Girl!
I took me awhile to figure out this whole speaking proper thing out also, but as I've gotten older and wiser and learned more about politics. It's only because the common people can't relate to you because they don't speak as sophisticated as you do. I've learned there is a time and place to speak properly. It's okay to teach better speech, but it's also okay to relate better with others that is not as smart as you.
It's 'drag' ,as opposed to 'thrust '.
I started life out as an Army brat and when we moved back to Georgia I was teased and told the same thing. I'm pushing 66 come mid June. I just love the looks on some people's face when I've walked into an office after I spoke with them on the phone. I've gotten double takes or wide eyes when I started to speak. When I was in the Army I had to pull out my birth certificate at times to prove that I was from Georgia.
I was raised in the (FL) South & I still believe one should pronounce the R in any word, door not doe...store not store, and more not mo. But I’ve been in AL, TN, GA, and KY around educated folks who get rid of the R. Sometimes it’s just the demographics
