‘Black linguistic justice’: Professors demand end to standard English as the norm

[Unkotare]

We definitely need to re-examine linguistics....

Why?

 

[Quasar44]

A national professional association of writing instructors recently published a list of demands that argued the current emphasis on standard English is rooted in racism and called for a complete overhaul of how language is taught.

It was published by a subcommittee with the Conference on College Composition and Communication, part of the National Council of Teachers of English.

The statement called for an end to “White Mainstream English,” arguing such an action would “decolonize” students’ minds and the English language, as well as help students “unlearn white supremacy.”

The demands were written by five English professors and a writing scholar and the document is titled: “This Ain’t Another Statement! This is a DEMAND for Black Linguistic Justice!”

“The language of Black students has been monitored, dismissed, demonized—and taught from the positioning that using standard English and academic language means success,” the professors argued.

Sure.....don't make them learn how to speak in a manner that will allow them actually function in society.

The real purpose to all this is - of course - for a handful of shameless ahole professors to sell a bunch of books/lecture series/webinars/BS courses/and possibly movie rights.

There are plenty of blacks who read and write excellent English. Part of the problem is what those professors are complaining about, a lack of equality in education for blacks. It should be about equality and equal protection of the laws.

The People need to be able to read and understand our Constitutions and not have right wing political, five to four decisions of those Jurists making up rules of construction as they go along.

The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.

Any black attending public schools has the same opportunity as any white, Asian, etc has.

Voting is too hard, English is too hard, not being a looting criminal is too hard, taking care of and being responsible for yourself is too hard .
Therefore they are racist and must be done away with

Because.

In ALL nations, there has to be a standard language taught to students, I'm guessing that they want all students to learn to speak Ebonics and sound like uneducated, low-IQ dolts or, they want all students to come out of schools like a large portion of the inner-city blacks do, not knowing how to properly read or write. That will ensure that the U.S. will actually become like the movie "Idiocracy."

Since when? The Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964. Blacks are still among the poorest in our nation.

...“African American families that were prohibited from buying homes in the suburbs in the 1940s and 50s, and even into the 1960s, by the Federal Housing Administration gained none of the equity appreciation that whites gained,” says historian and academic Richard Rothstein in the film Segregated by Design, which is based on his acclaimed book, The Color of Law.

...
Even after the 1968 passage of the Fair Housing Act, black Americans and other minorities have continued to experience housing inequalities.

In the first quarter of 2020, the Census Bureau reported that black households had the lowest homeownership rate at 44%, nearly 30 percentage points behind white households....

Are you really this thick headed? Seriously? English reeks of White Spremacy? It should not be forced on the students? Please tell me you're more intelligent than this.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

anyone else remember when Ebonics was going to be the BIG change?

Whut happent?

I do. I was near the epicenter in Oakland, California. It simply died of ridicule and non support.
BLM is heading in the same direction.

He isn't. Not at all. In fact he's even dumber than he seems here.

Look at the many immigrants from Africa who speak excellent English. It, English, is the lingua franca of the world.
Phasing out English because a group of unknowns and malcontent radicals think it's a great idea
is insanely stupid. You want to marginalize and consign black kids to the gutter?
Don't teach them English and see how far they advance in the real world.

If a group of racists came up with a plan to permanently remove blacks from society it would revolve around
a plan to create a culture of stupidity and lack of knowledge that would forever bar them from any
achievement whatsoever.
And it would horrify blacks and whites sympathetic to them.
Well guess who is doing that for the racists? Morons that want to do away
with English and other learning that involves "whiteness". It's suicidal.

Low expectations isn't "soft bigotry," it's violent assault on the future of those young people least equipped to weather such abuse. I've yet to speak to a parent who didn't want and expect their children to learn proper English in school.

I've seen your BART stations. That's about it.

Maybe they will bring back the National Miss Ebonics Beauty Contest if they can find someone to be Miss Idaho.
