Sentence analysis

Here is a sentence I've found:

'I would never talk crap about my own kind doesn't matter how bad they are.'

I don't know whether the one who said this is a native speaker or not. But assuming that this sentence is correct, am I understanding it correctly as follows?

No matter how bad they are, { I would never talk crap about ['my own kind doesn't matter'] }

What I don't understand is : is it possible to put another sentence after 'about'?

No, that is a bad re-arrangement.

The correct translation is:
No matter how bad my relatives (i.e. my own kind) are, I will not speak badly about them.

my own kind could also mean my friends, my group, my fellows, those associated with me.

Oops, thank you for correcting it.

Then doesn't matter how bad they are. = no matter how bad they are?

And

Doesn't matter how bad my relatives (i.e. my own kind) are, I will not speak badly about them.

No matter how bad my relatives (i.e. my own kind) are, I will not speak badly about them.

Are these two sentences exactly the same?

Doesn't hinges on which subject -- 'it'?
this sentence is false -- you can not ellipt the subject in indicative mood.

"No matter how bad my relatives are, I will not speak badly about them." correct

Okay, thanks for correcting me again.

But I'm a bit confused here. I think I missed something important.

The sentence is wrong.

I would never talk **** [badly] about my own kind. It doesn't matter how bad they are.

Hi guys,

'I would never talk **** about my own kind doesn't matter how bad they are.'

A slightly different perspective is to realize that this is bad grammar. It's a run-on sentence. It should be written as


'I would never talk **** about my own kind. It doesn't matter how bad they are.'

(Please don't say the word '****' when you are s

Grammar GeekThe sentence is wrong.

Hi GG,

Can you elaborate? Is it the green, pink or the blue part? I'd like to know.

Thanks for all your help.

I think I almost understand it now.

As I understand it, some English language speaker can pronunciate

'I'd never talk badly about my own kind doesn't matter how bad they are.'

But in fact he wants to say

'I'd never talk badly about my own kind [it] doesn't matter how bad they are.'

As nobody has said that missing somet

As Clive said, it was a run-on sentence. I added the "badly" in brackets after "****" to say what that meant in this context. It's not wrong (although I find it a distasteful way to speak). Your replacement of "it is" is incorrect. When he talks about "his kind," he is referring to people.

I would say the ONLY time you can write this is if you are writing dialogue, but make sure you reall
