That doesn't mean much.
Not really. Many of the Asians and Hispanics that grow up in the US could pass off as a white person if you only heard their voice.

How does the average black person in the US sound to you?

The same as every other race. Some people sound stereotypically like what people perceive as a dialect unique to race, and many don't. OP is just a moron.

If you think a black person from Nola and a black person from the northeast sound the same then your clearly deaf.

I didn't say they sounded different. My reply was to Montezuma who said that Asians and Hispanics sound different.

Can you not say that you heard an asian or a hispanic on the phone as consistently as you can say you heard a white or black on the phone? And can you not be wrong in your guesses?
All I'm saying is that inferring that you can determine a race by voice is going to be based on stereotype, and prone to a massive margin of error if tested.

I'll refer to the story I related here before:
Freshman year at LaTech in early eighties, friend was from Alaska and used his Alaskan state student funding to buy a used T-bird. He had to take me along to Shreveport Sears Auto Center for tires and brakes to translate for him. The auto center guy would mumble out stuff. Sam would look at me like a deer in the headlights. I would relate what the worker said into intelligible English. Sam got his tires and brakes done. Without someone to translate Sam would have had to sell the car as he couldn't figure out what Southerners, especially ethnic ones, were saying. LOL.

That's a little more accurate. I have heard more consonants used improperly than I could have ever dreamed in my lifetime. Typically with deep southerners using the letters S and R in places where they have no buisness being in the first place. There fore I am not even sure that you can call them consonants. Maybe they are just misspelled ignorance passed down from previous illiterate and non articulative generations. This is not exclusive to poor blacks either. I have heard plenty of trash whites do this. As well. I truly wish we could get the school system fixed here in MS. The Democratic Party has controlled MS for the last 100 years so maybe this republican crew can get some things done and get some charter schools and other things going to give these citizens a choice and a better education. That is all.

Better question is why do all fast food workers sound alike. Black, white, Hispanic,'Asian, fat, skinny, male, female, homos. They all sound like they've been kicked by a mule

I don't understand the concept of it.. Or is it even a concept? Is it just the name of the type of english certain black people speak? Would it be compared to the difference between french and cajun french? Is there a name for the language backwoods hillbillies speak?

It's a mix of region and other things.
For example, black people tend to like the same things and therefore tend to listen/watch the same things. White people tend to like the same things and therefore tend to listen/watch the same things. When you're listening/watching things you're picking up certain accents, words, mannerisms that you incorporate in the way you talk/act in your everyday life.
With this whole PC culture, we like to act like race plays no part in who you are or how you act but it does. A black person is more likely to act and talk like another black person than a white person is and vice versa. While we shouldn't hate each other for our differences (actual racism), we also shouldn't act like we're all the same because we're not.
Your economic class, race, where you grow up all have a part to play in who you eventually become.
