“I got just two words for you ...”
Shawn Michaels, is that you?
“Rachel Jeantel proof positive some people have no business breeding”
I shudder to think what kind of species from National Geographic this creature came from..
When did they stop teaching English in schools and replace it with Ebonics ?
it depends on what drum-beat dialect you drum...
Somebody is spending in excess of $50k a year to send this Marina to Harvard so she can sign up for the “Urban Program” and learn to spout utter nonsense. Harvard is a cess pool. If she were to walk through certain neighborhoods the feral humans living therein would be just as happy to rape and kill her skinny white ass as they would mine.
Children learn the language that they hear. Admonishments are futile. I might as well complain that my grandchildren don’t speak proper Chinese.
Some years ago the esteemed Walter Williams said that if you see that your future lies in prison then learn ebonics. If you see that your future lies in business then learn Standard English.
My Chinese wife does complain that our grand kids don’t speak good Chinese
>>>He asked her once more whether perhaps, because her first language was Creole (transmitted to her by her Haitian mother), she had any trouble understanding English.
Alor! Racism.<<<
I think “Creole” is a Spanish-based analogue of Niglish.
I had never seen a black man swell up and turn purple with rage until one of the kids in class had the gall to tell him that what he was teaching us was "too white", and My classmate could not be expected to learn it because "I's black".
Mr. Davis's response was obviously not what the kid expected, and the rest of us laughed about it for months, and until the day I graduated I could always make him hide a smile and cough in embarrasment whenever I brough up the incident. To this day, he is still "Mr. Davis", and his dad is always "Sir".
Ahem... “brought”, not “brough”. Typing too fast.
I read a british blog and apparently there is a problem there where some speak the british version of ebonics.
Poor parenting is global.
There are few things so disempowering as being silenced for the language that you speak.
If all else fails, try speaking regular English.
People who insist upon behaving differently shouldn't be surprised when they're treated differently.
Anyone who thinks that speaking like a criminal will impress shareholders or investors, let alone any company's paying clientelle is not only a fool but a continual risk to anyone who associates with them.
I may accept someone who comes up to Me on the streets and greets Me informally in such a manner, but in a business or legal environment no bloody way. I will find someone else with demonstrably better intelligence to deal with.

Exactly. Coming from the boonies of northern Vermont, REAL Vermonter, not trust fund hippy, My ancestors and I speak a dialect few of you could easily understand.
I can usually tell even what town many folks are from in the area by the differences in their speech.
That being said, most of us also speak proper, and I do mean VERY proper, not the slang you see on the internet, English.
There is nothing wrong with having regional or ethnic dialects.
I think hearing the huge variety of dialects in the USA and Canada is fascinating.
However, as an American we ALL should speak "PROPER" English for such places as in court or dealing with any situation involving people outside of your normal dialect.
‘Some years ago the esteemed Walter Williams said that if you see that your future lies in prison then learn ebonics. If you see that your future lies in business then learn Standard English.’
like the entire board of General Motors dont speak eubonics...what an oreo..
here we go again with this “Black English” crap
and car jacking is just a “Black Howdy”
The insect world might have some alternatives to spoken language that we can use.
