So black people have been in America for 200-400 years, yet second generation Mexicans, Chinese, Indians, Africans, and Europeans can master the English language (plus their native language) without a problem.
Yet, conservatives are ‘racist’ for expecting Blacks to be able to grasp basic English grammar...?
Really?
Why can’t they see that liberals demean them? That low expectations are what society reserves for the disabled and that conservatives don’t see the black community as disabled? That we actually believe that blacks can accomplish everything that *we* do?
The liberals are racist! They see blacks as broken people who can’t even master their own native language. They think that blacks are too stupid to achieve.
I do NOT see black children as any less capable than I do my OWN children. And I’ll hold them to the same standards.
Why?
Because they’re human beings who have the *world* laid out before them. They only need to be pushed into it.
Just as I pushed my own children.
It used to be a crime to teach slaves to read. Helps keep ‘em on the plantation.
Kenjus want to do whatever she wants to do.
“Students got more and better education in one room schoolhouses than in all the huge bricks and mortar universities filled with computer equipment.”
I nominate that the FR comment of the day. You make me think of my grandfather (born 1909) and his older brother (born 1891). Both men grew up in Grey County, ON (northwest of Toronto and near Lake Huron) and went to the same one room rural schoolhouse.
I am sure that if both men were to come back (as they passed within a few months of each other in 1984) and see how being both barely coherent and very rude is so commonly routine and accepted in our society nowadays, they’d be positively shocked.
Why is it “Student of Color”, and “white female student”? Isn’t that a “microaggression”?
Wow! The next thing you know, they won’t be able to read or write cursive...
Oh. Wait...
How is this student writing term papers? Microsoft Word automatically proofreads documents. Unless these are answers on a written test, in which case the professor may not have been able to understand them. I doubt that any hiring staff evil be able to read anything that the student writes either.
Was da ding in cursive? Dats be racist cuz bros don’t cursive!
Instead of being offended, any student should look upon these corrections as a opportunity to improve themselves. Proper grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure is the basis of someone’s marketable job skills. These will serve them well throughout their entire career, regardless of their career choice. (Theft and thuggery notwithstanding.)
By the way, I can't diagram a sentence either and I was in school in the '60s. Not that I didn't learn, I just didn't care.
That is what public education did for blacks for decades; int he past couple of decades they’ve been doing it to/for whites as well. When young Americans meet the young foreigners trafficked here to replace them, they realize they are often outmatched.
All fun & games until employers won’t touch the unemployable unskilled dopes; they lose out to Mexicans because while both lack English, one doesn’t have a chip fastened to their shoulder from the cradle on...
Read articles written by black authors and see how many of them use the upper case “B”, when writing the word “black”. Unfortunately some F.R. members do it too.
It’s hard to know whether the breakdown of society is the reason for the breakdown of education, or, whether the breakdown of education is the cause of the breakdown of society.
