This is James Earl frigging Jones. •The• voice. Stuttered. His whole life. Poetry and acting helped him speak.

We judge people impulsively and •incredibly• harshly by how they speak: a stutter, an accent, a dialect, how they make a certain sound, how they sound.

In honor of James Earl Jones, let’s all just try to find that judgement within ourselves, grab it with both hands, and yank it out. I know I’ll try.
