"Feets don't Fail Me Now" may seem like a parody of an old "Amos and Andy" show. But how many remember that this grammatical absurdity is exactly what Bill Cosby was admonishing blacks to reject. By the way, in our "bi-lingual" courses in public schools we are turning out what Bill Buckley rightly refers to as "semi-literates in two languages". Before anyone presumes to laugh at endemic black grammar gaffes he should listen (or read, if possible) to many young whites whose grammer and diction are not up to the level of the Hottentots. The fact is that we are becoming a thoroughly non-bigoted, class-free,
non-racial, democratric, public-educated mass of linguistic cretins.

I may be a cretin - I had to read the post twice - ;-) - but it is a great post; very true.

Good post! Every bit of it. For the last few years I thought I was crazy or missing some important helix in my DNA for not being so hypersensitive to all this false racial indignation I've been hearing lately.

Now I realize there are others with a brain. Then again, we could just both be nuts.
