Standard English is the language of business around the world. Why would these elitists not want black children to learn standard English? Maybe they are afraid the children will grow up to become successful...and vote Republican.
Unfortunately, pandering politicians just wanted their votes, via taxpayer handouts, and here we are today.
SOMEDAY, we'll again see white male fathers with white female wives, in advertising and movies.
For now, we see Tyrone with his white "significant other", and half-breed babies, driving their Mercedes to "the office", after mowing his lawn in suburbia.
The names they give their children, and this debasement of the English language just shows that a lot of these people have no intention of contributing to society. They’re basically wearing signs that say “Don’t hire me. I’m stupid.” They want to be on welfare. They say it’s reparations, but it’s really just laziness.
The Constitution is in English I believe. What’s wrong with speaking that language in a way that people can understand you? Reminds me of so many of the unsolicited phone calls I get where the person has a foreign-sounding voice that is in English(apparently)but you can’t understand what they are saying. It is best to just hang up on them. It is most likely a scam anyway.
That's just human nature.
“ to capture the unique and singular way many Blacks speak—was regarded by many as a means of also protecting the dignity of Black self-expression.”
You have got to be kidding me.
My inherent white privilege doesn’t allow me to give a rats ass if black people choose to be stupid and lazy and speak a language that can’t readily be understood. Let them be poor, they chose to stay on the slave masters plantation. At this stage of this game I have come to the conclusion that Full Segregration is now the answer.
Kill excellence in order to achieve equity. Lowest common denominator. I saw it when I worked for government. I had the biggest caseload and was hated for it.
TV ads and the voice overs are full of blacks pretending to be White ,LOL
I will say this the Western society based in Greece did more for humans than any other.
The leader of this movement, a Black professor at the University of Michigan by the name of April Baker-Bell, has sponsored a document to abolish what she calls “White Mainstream English.” She believes that Black students who are forced to write their papers in mainstream English are victims of Anti-Black Racism.
Learning is rarely easy or painless. But always reaps benefits that far out weigh that pain.
Learning standard English opens opportunities for further learning from the great minds of the past in literature, science and history.
This is just another college professor trying to justify her place in academia by reopening a storefront in the grievance industry.
Those that follow her down this rabbit hole are condemning the children that they teach to a life of mediocrity
What is often forgotten in this line of reasoning is that colloquial English is highly regional and constantly changing.
Standard English gives us a common language that we can all understand over vast areas. Without it we devolve in to chaos where words vary in meaning from place to place and misunderstandings can lead to tragic ends.
Also language to a certain extent dictates our thinking, reasoning and logic. How we speak is how we think. Regimentation in speech is regimentation in thought.
If you can’t speak clearly you probably can’t think clearly and you certainly can’t understood clearly
Things will be easier for blacks if they gain rapport with whites rather than opposing them and resisting them. One way to gain rapport with whites is to talk/speak like them.

Night before Christmas in Ebonics...
Wuz de nite befo Crimmus
An’ all ober de hood
ereybody wuz sleepin’
Dey wuz sleepin’ real good.
We hunged up our stockings
And hoped like de heck
That ol’ Sanna Claus
Be bringin’ our chek!
All o’ de fambly
Wuz layin’ in de beds
While Ripple and Thunderbird
Dance tru dey heads.
I passed out in de flo
Right next to my maw
When I heard sech a fuss, I thunk
“It must be de law!”
I looked out thru de bars
What covered my doe
Spectin’ de sheriff
Wif a warrant fo sho!
And what did I see?
I said, “Lawd, look at dat!”
Ther’ wuz a huge watta-melon
Pulled by giant warf rats!
Now ober all de years
Sanna Claus, he be white
But, looks like us bros
Gets a black Sanna dis night.
Faster dan a po’lees car;
My home boy, he came.
He whupped on dem warf rats
And called dem by name!
On Leroy, on ‘lonzo,
And on Willie Lee,
On Saphire, on Chenequa;
Dey wuz a site to see!
As he landed dat watta-melon
Out der in de skreet
I knowed fo sho
Da damndest site I ebber did see!
He didn’t go down no chimbley;
He picked da lock on my doe.
And I sez to myself,
“Shit, he done dis befoe!”
He had dis big bag
Full of prezents I ‘spect
Wid Air Jordans and fake gold
To wear ‘roun my neck.
But he left no good prezents;
just started stealin’ my shit.
Got my drugs, got my guns,
Even got my burglar’s kit!
Wit my stuff in de bag
Out da window he flewed
I woulda tried to catch him
But he stole my knife too!
He jumped on dat watta-melon
An’ whipped out a switch
He wuz gone in a secon’,
dat sonuvabitch!
Next year I be hopin’
Anutha Sanna we git
Cuz diz here Sanna Claus
Just ain’t werf a shit!
Apparently, ‘bruh’ is a new word that is a major part of the ebonics language.
If Blacks aspired to achieve economic parity with their compatriots, then they would have to become bilingual.
Both factual and funny
Ironically, both Southern and black English (which are very similar) come from the British Isles!
Just another under qualified black female running a game. Follow the money.
