I'm surprised she could speak at all, with that golf cart tire stuck in her throat.

Let’s go back to tribal drums. Everyone walk around with bongos on their hips. Then there can be no unfair advantage because of language.

He asked her once more whether perhaps, because her first language was Creole (transmitted to her by her Haitian mother), she had any trouble understanding English. …
Alor! Racism.

It is this kind of nonsense that is keeping blacks down. It is a form of patronizing and pandering. They should be ashamed. If you don’t speak standard English in this country, you cannot get a good job. What kind of English does Obama speak?

"Black" english. Really.

I wonder what the "Black" English citizens think of that.

With decades of abuse heaped upon those who were continually derided for speaking "Country" or "Southern"/"Redneck"/"Hick" as being somehow of below-par intelligence thereby, this Preferentially Objectified Scuzzbucket (POS) somehow thinks that makes that troglodyte-appearing numbskull just simply misunderstood and really actually "normal" somehow?

Words fail Me...

Supposing it is, then what? Whatever you may call it, it’s highly influential in the larger society. I think it’s a mistake to equate the mode of expression with the dissembling that seemed evident in this witness’ testimony. I’m a diehard universalist. People are people, politics aside.

Some black parents do not insist on proper English and this is what happens.

Its not black English its poor parenting.

My parents insisted my brothers & sisters speak well.
We don’t use slang like the n word because we were raised not to.

My mom will still correct my 30 something sister’s language.
