I made a video a while ago in which I talk about one of Rabbi Kahane's books. A German Nazi on zootube keeps on commenting on the video. He says that I have a funny accent and that he has never met an American who talks like me.

here is the video:

Do you think I have an accent? To hear my voice in the video, you have to turn the volume up high since my recording device was bad.

You sound fine to me. The person knocking your voice was most likely some moron who only speaks ebonics.

He's German, but maybe the only Americans he knows talk in ebonics.

Perhaps. Just another YouTube loser hiding trying to act tough.

I think your microphone makes some problems. But I hear no special accent.

This guy from Germany is a bolschewist anti-zionist. A very great example for the German mainstream.

Sounds fine to me except the level is much too low.
I had to raise system volume to max and even then can barely hear until i cranked up the speakers themselves way past where I usually keep it.

Maybe Try raising the mic boost levels a tad bit.

As for accent though...I didn't notice anything abnormal lol.

The only proper accent in America is the midwestern accent

*takes cover*

Clearly, that idiot has never heard an American before; because you sound like plenty of other Americans.

Not really an accent. Your speaking voice is a bit monotone, and the quality of the audio is poor, so it may sound a little different for foreigners.

I think that's true. I'm not such a great speaker.

Don't worry about those morons, someone told me I sounded like a redneck. Maybe I sound slightly like a King of the Hill character to them.

I think it is fine

The video is fine pay no attention to whoever told you it wasn't. Its the message that's most important not the delivery. Soon I am going to make one of them videos and then all the armchair english professors will be pulling their hairs out for sure.

Your accent is fine.

Some Israeli leftists claim that I speak Hebrew with an Arabic accent, which is certainly not true. If anything, I have an American accent when I speak Hebrew.

BTW, They Must Go was written in 1971, not 1981. I first read the book in late 1971.

Thanks for the correction.

You sound fine. There is a sound problem at 3:28 though.
You actually sound like some professors of mine from my college days. That's a good thing.
I can not tell what part of the USA you are from so to my ears you do not have a noticeable accent.
I have a moderate to strong Baltimore accent that I think some of our enemies might try to pounce on if I ever record for JTF. My voice could also compromise my anonymity so I probably will never use it in a JTF video.

By the way, I once heard that the only place in the USA where people do not have accents in in central Pennsylvania. "Midwest" is definitely an accent, especially northern Midwest like MN or WI.

I'm from the Boston area, but I don't have a Boston accent.
