I must admit that this never occurred to me. According to Mike Huckabee, political analysts discriminated against Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour: "There were people who said, 'Nobody is going to elect some white guy from Mississippi with a real, slow molasses-type Southern accent for president of the United States.'" Invoking the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Huckabee said, "I thought our nation had learned something, I thought that maybe we had taken seriously the message of Dr. King who said that we should not be judged by the color of our skin but by the contents of our character." Huckabee added that people "should not be judged by the accent of our speech."
Thoughts?
