Justice Department Seeks Ebonics Experts DEA wants “Black English” linguists to decipher bugged

the smoking gun ^ | 8/23/10 | staff

[Nachum]

The Department of Justice is seeking to hire linguists fluent in Ebonics to help monitor, translate, and transcribe the secretly recorded conversations of subjects of narcotics investigations, according to federal records. A maximum of nine Ebonics experts will work with the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Atlanta field division, where the linguists, after obtaining a “DEA Sensitive” security clearance, will help investigators decipher the results of “telephonic monitoring of court ordered nonconsensual intercepts, consensual listening devices, and other media”

[Nachum]

The list, ping

Some jokes just write themselves!!!

The United States: where large groups of people cannot speak their own native language.

[boomop1]

The O’bozo staff is filled with these experts.

[bill1952]

This country is so messed up.

[ConservativeMind]

Anyone here speak “Jive?”

[Deaf Smith]

They can hire Barbara Billingsley if she is still alive. She was fluent in that geto/ebonic trash.

[ConservativeDude]

Was she in Airplane?

The “other media” is DEA guys trying to figure out the dialog on “The First 48”.

It is merely an effort to be able to communicate with Eric Holder

[RightWingConspirator]

Have you noticed how one of his public speeches looks like the Sunday social at a African Methodist Episcopal Church?

[boomop1]

He struggles to appear knowledgeable.

[WOBBLY BOB]

...I be on that like a Jimmyhat.

[Mr. Wright]

Is this racial profiling? I know that the Federal Governments Affirmative Action Programs are nothing but racial profiling.
All candidates for a job with skin color (other than white)
are placed in the Federal Governments Affirmative Action Program. As such, when promotions arise, those in the “program” can readily be identified by their race for promotion or advancement purposes.

[TexasCajun]

Any other day, I would have found and posted that exact picture with a comment.

But Friday was the 2nd time in 6 months that I've been bitten with a virus after searching Google Pictures for an image to post, going to the website to get the picture.

I caught a malware anti-virus ad that my Comcast ISP, nor my McAfee caught.

...be careful where you get your graphics.

So, I think my days of posting a picture with a comment are over.

[Cheerio]

Next we will need these types at the polling places. Maybe even print the ballots using Ebonics - now there is an idea.

[Patton@Bastogne]

actually, it sounds reasonable .... now, where will the DOJ get some interpreters for those Amish Mafia Crime Families ?

[Patton@Bastogne]

[Impy]

ROTLFL has ebonics evolved to the point it’s not mutually intelligble with standard English?

Some “linguist” is gonna make an easy buck on the taxpayers dime.
