Now that I come to think about it, that's probably the plan.
she can using ebonic newspeak. "whitey. hate crime. reparations."
"AS a lark, I once left someone a four page note in 12 point type, the basic message of which was that I would be back in my room in ten minutes."
See today's "Word for the Day." It's "circumlocution."
Ahem....
Word?
Thanks for that nice racist screed. First, by the way, I'm white. Second, I've spent 12 years in the military and served with, below and over many blacks, the vast majority of whom were excellent people, and few were racist in any way. When you get drunk with a man, you get to see what's really inside of him, when you share misery with a man you get to see even more.
I don't know what small percentage your screed is targeting, but it seems you'd like to coat the whole of black people with it and that is plain dumb and wrong. I've had more then a few black friends (as well as indians, iranian, chinese, korean and others) and you are about as far off the mark as it gets.
That captures it perfectly, as does "A ghetto in every mouth." Eugenics, eubonics -- they both lead to the same disastrous thing except the latter is self-imposed.
Oh, and by the way, the professor is a "she" and she's not black but Hindi. Try again.
Ebonics be superior, no what i'm saying.
Um, someone needs to point out to this broad that the native language of black Americans IS English.
Black Americans have been in this country for 400+ years. If English isn't their native language, what the heck is?
Sometimes it's good for people to get things off their chest I guess, even if it sounds bizarre.
Is "disposition" the new code-word for socio-political attitude? A good "disposition" is anti-white, pro-ghetto; A bad "dispositon" is, well, conservative?
Oh yes I've heard the same, except from South Africans who say they wish the British had not given the country to the Dutch.
I guess. It's so sad one can only laugh.
Wait a second.If a teacher called blacks DEVILS he'd be fired in 10 seconds flat.Why is this racist allowed to teach another day ?
Ebonics is the patois(pigeon english) of BLACK oppressors..
If it has nothing to do with minorities, then why don't we hear, hispanics, caucasians, asians, etc using ebonics? An underclass? No such thing. You want to get ahead? Study and work.
Broken educational system? I'll only give you part of that. You can still learn how to speak English in school, you just have to want to.
This Black Einstein should pursue his illuminating brainstorm.
Go to Africa, make ebonics universal and, when they have surpassed the West in philosophy, medicine, technology, trade, space travel and communicatons, we can discuss his insight further...
I went to school with all types.
It is not racist it is from having contact with some of these accademic types in the real world working environment.
I am simply saying that there are people in this world who do not take this type of venom seriously because they do not think it is real.
I do not doubt you for a moment. We are very much in agreement. I should have been clearing about pointing out that I consider those "types" to be a very small group as, at least in my encounters, they have been far between. I assure you they are out there.
Though I must confess, recently I did meet one who was borderline at a recent Bar conference.
take care.
Not only that, but "ebonics" does not trace back to any African roots, but rather to language used by "poor whites" who migrated to the American South from a particular part of rural England and a host of secondary influences. If they wanted to have black rooted language they could speak something like the Gullah of the Carolina lowlands.
Stalin once said, "Education is a Weapon, what matters is against whom you aim it at." This, unfortunetly, is something the left knows well and the right has never bothered to comprehend, which is why the educational deparments and schools are dominated by the left.
