If they had did that when I was a kid, I might be done passed English.
Dat sez dey be havin’ FOTEEN courses on African-American lit.
Gee that sounds like plenty - wonder how many on Shakespeare?
Guessing by her name, Rebecca Walkowitz has turned her back on 5,780 years of her heritage.
Sorry Bubbie, social-justice is not the same as social-ism.
Rebecca needs a new job.
I’m sure employers will go for this when the read resumes and job applications that are full of misspellings and grammatical errors.
I guess Rutgers is private so my favorite slogan, “Defund Universities,” won’t be much help here. I’ll just show myself out.
“Good grammar is an example of White supremacy.” Wrong. It means that Whites make the effort to speak and write correctly. (Most of the time.)
This is a stupid attempt to declare bad English as good as good English. I want to see the nytimes publish an article in ebonics and declare it a scholarly article.
Rutgers University is the state funded university for the State of New Jersey.
The English Department Chair, Ms. Rebecca Walkowitz, knows her department is facing cuts and is hoping to attract low aspiration students to fill the seats. Her Virtue Signaling is really just Virtue Skidding as she's not helping anyone.
Stop sending your kids to the indoctrination centers. Stop feeding the beast.
This is news?

Parthetic. Adsobluely stidickulous.

In a job interview, it’s amazing how easily the subtle cues contained in one’s English (either written or spoken) can tilt the “hire/no hire” decision:
Him and me worked on that project.
Can I AXE who’s calling?
Its [vs. it’s] one thing I be good at.
I ain’t got no record of that.
Comedian “Flip” Wilson (may his memory be for a blessing) did a great sketch on that. The punchline: “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The shadow do.”
In many cases after 20 or 30 entries the FR threads, uh - peter out. Not so with this one. FReepers, I thank you all for your insightful comments.
They pretend that they believe they are doing blacks a favor by putting up with that crap. But in reality they are keeping them “in their place”!
