Several professors are teaming up to demand that colleges do away with the concept of “standard English” as Americans know it today, in favor of accommodating “Black Language.”

The Conference on College Composition and Communication released a statement demanding reform of the linguistics used in higher education. The CCCC is an organization claiming to promote diversity among college campuses, by way of establishing “broad and evolving definitions of literacy, communication, rhetoric, and writing.”

Hispanics are a higher percentage of Americans than Blacks so we need to have Spanglish.

[Red Badger]

That’s “pidgin” English.......

[Cowboy Bob]

Without sports, why is there any need for Blacks in higher Ed?

[I want the USA back]

[Perseverando]

Dumbing down on steroids!

Which african language?

Arabic, Somali, Berber, Amharic, Oromo, Igbo, Swahili, Hausa, Manding, Fulani or Yoruba. Those are the leading languages in Africa and thus can be considered ‘Black’ language. Millions speak these actual languages.

[DoodleBob]

True. It is also unintelligible.

[OrioleFan]

The conversation in “Airplane” comes to mind.

[Fido969]

We should have more redneck language, too.

[Flatus I. Maximus]

A pity they didn’t name their organization the Conference on College Composition and Progressivism. Then their acronym would be CCCP.

[Red Badger]

Not to the pidgins.......

[NTHockey]

Cursive writing is no longer being taught. Spelling is a joke, thanks to social media. Don’t get me started on diagramming sentences. A war on words that “offend” somebody. And now the whole language is in danger.

Start learning Neanthradal or Klingon.

[realcleanguy]

I’m sorry, but what is Black Language?

[Scrambler Bob]

“broad and evolving definitions of literacy, communication, rhetoric, and writing.”
= = =

I could have used Broad and evolving definitions in Latin class.

[falcon99]

If you can’t meet a standard, decrease or delete the standard. That is the Liberal way.

[C19fan]

So Vulgar Latin did not cut it? :)

[dfwgator]

The Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations in action.

[Mathews]

It’s not “gives me,” it’s “gibs me.”

[dfwgator]

Can the students who are babied like this sue when they cannot land a decent job because they write in Ebonics?

LOL, you think the Indians, who speak perfect English, will hire them?

[Scrambler Bob]

So can I write a paper in Jive?
= = =

If you know Jive, are you also able to write?
