Black Professor: Asking Black Students to Write Using Standard English is 'Anti-Black Linguistic Racism'

[HereWeGoAgain]

I don't see a problem with this. If blacks who wanted to use non standard English, their window to conduct businesses or landing a job narrow.

Then they take to robbing the white man.

 

[jotathought]

Ahhh .. now it makes sense .. black high school graduates who graduate with no proficiency in reading, writing and math ... no wonda' .. sheetttt

 

[LeftofLeft]

Setting their students up for failure and dragging Americas future down with them. Identify as a pumpkin, don't learn to read,.write, or do math,.no requirement to be be punctual, you dont fail if you actually fail a class and instead become an activist and protest against those who are trying to be successful. Sounds like a great investment!

What is this going to accomplish for Blacks?

 

[DGS49]

Blacks are not the only ones who routinely use slang, improper grammar, and gross vulgarity. Consider:

(1) Muh-fukka's talking shit, vs

(2) That fellow lacks credibility.

But other demographics understand that (1) is unacceptable in professional and polite circumstances. Blacks want to be privileged to have their common jargon accepted as proper. Ain't happening.

It isn't any one race but they are just exploited the most by the fake well-doers. If the education system and its teachers betray a students best interests they are potentially destroying their lives s and limiting their potential. It is sickening. Some Americans want the caste system that we have.

Looks like this fail white failed to read the actual article which was making a point that all speech and language is equally made up and therefore equally valid. You fail whites think you don't speak a slang version of an older English language?

This is exactly why white democrats are the real white supremacists.

That is the part of the training for new immigrants. It should be required curriculum in every middle school, high school, and college/university as well. I used to teach constitution classes to immigrants studying for their citizenship exams. There were no more eager students or that soaked up the content and intent in its entirety than those wonderful people.

All those wonderful people want to know is where do they sign up for welfare.

Why don’t you flesh out your “response” for us

 

[Curried Goats]

Why don’t you flesh out your “response” for us

I have. None of the you fail whites can respond it seems. Also it appears none of you read the article which features a black scholar questioning white american cultural attempts to minimize black American cultural differences. All speech and language is made up. The white American English dialects grew out of the British dialect just like Black American dialects do and just as my own Jamaican patois grew out of English and Akan.

Ok back to goat fucking and eating. You have little authority to tell any one anything.

I figured that would about the level of response you'd be capable of. You ignorant fail whites are too stupid to grasp the subjective nature of speech and language and are prone to sharing beastiality fan fiction. Dumb and deplorable.

What is this going to accomplish for Blacks?

It will make blacks feel better about themselves, while keeping them poor. Ebonics is an authentic dialect of English. Nevertheless, it lacks the versatility of standard English. If you want to spend your life as a poor ghetto black person living in a slum speak Ebonics. If you want to get a well paying job, learn standard English.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech is considered by many, including me, to be one of the greatest speeches in the English language. It would not have been if Dr. King had delivered it in Ebonics.
