And don't get him started on that cracka cursive.

What has this guy ever written that wasn’t for academia and therefore, irrelevant?
Such rubbish. Grammar is about clarity and nuance in expression of thought.
If you cannot speak or write clearly, you cannot think clearly, or express yourself clearly.
There are some human activities, particularly in STEM, and perhaps the arts, where if you have talent and skill you can be wildly successful. But even in those cases, all things being equal, those who can express themselves clearly and eloquently have an advantage.
But in general, grammar is a critical success skill.
To teach people that because they are of a certain race they don’t need grammatical skills is an especially heinous form of racism.
I guess Rachel Dolezal and Fauxcahontas beat him to their respective “Claims to Fame”, so he had to come up with this one.
Why could he not have emulated Marcel Marceau?
My Grammar is 102 and she ain`t no racist.
And don't get him started on that cracka cursive.
These schools also show how worthless they are.
What if the only adjectives and adverbs people want to use are swears?
When there are no real problems they create fantasy problems. Also when they want to try to become some new idiot expert in their ‘field’.
But see they cant use the dialectic and delphi techniques to get what they want, if there is not some conflict to exploit, real or artificially created by them.
My Grammar got run over by a reindeer.
I would bet all of Jay Z’s contracts in his Fortune 500 companies are meticulously constructed (written) in very specific “Academic English (the language of money$) terminology)!
Well, it is white.. for at least a while. ;)
Here’s his website. Scroll down for the fun stuff!
He seems pretty articulate himself. If his students aren’t, though, nooooo problem!
A modernist form of idiocy.
Noam Comsky, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Paging Noam Chomsky....
His presumption is that different races are not equally capable of learning grammar and spelling. He is being explicitly racist.
I’ve known some who were so inarticulate they could not put two words together, without using the term “You know” or profanity as filler between words.
Ever been chastised for using “big” words?
Some would be thrilled to dumb us all down to their level. Turn mundane conversation into a classroom, it’s fun.
So as not to offend, must we now teach only “Ebonics” in the schools as the proper form of American English? If that were to be instituted then, of course there would be a new Negro lingo within a couple of years and Negroes would commence to be terribly offended all over again that their patois is not taught as English. Being offended is a terminal and incurable syndrome.
Yo ‘bouttime dis here racist grammar sheeit got taken seriously Jus’ like Orenthawl James.
Hey, perfesser — cash me ousside, how bow dah.
Robert Frost translated into eubonics.
Yo Whose woods deez is ah think ah know.
His crib iz in da village though;
He will not see me stopping here
ta watch his woods fill up wif snow.
muh motha f*ckin little horse mus’ think it queer
ta stop without uh farmhouse near
Between da woods an’ frozen lake
da darkest evening o’ da year.
He gives his harness bells uh shake
ta ax if dere iz some mistake.
da only other sound’s da sweep
o’ easy wind an’ downy flake.
da woods is lovely, dark an’ deep,
But ah gots promises ta keep,
an’ miles ta go ‘bfoe ah sleep,
an’ miles ta go ‘bfoe ah sleep just like mammy.
True dat!
