I’ll get flamed for this.....but have you seen video clips, news clips, etc. of today’s so-called ‘college grads’ of so-called ‘black colleges’?

I’ve heard better command of the English language in grammar schools. It’s worse than pathetic. They bought into the hip-hop culture, can’t drive it out of themselves in four years of ‘racial studies’ and nonsense degrees....then wonder why they can’t get jobs.

Gee golly. Can’t imagine why this is.....thinking......thinking....

Sadly, I agree. I got to know one of my black students quite well (a senior) and one day he said something like: “...and I went whiff him to the store.” We talked about words like “whiff” vs “with”, “axed” vs “asked”, and so on. I just told him flat out that either he spoke “real” English or he was destined for a second-rate job. He said is was a cultural thing. I said fine, but just know that your culture is going to cost you a good job unless that culture gets turned around and you start speaking the king's English. He actually did clean up his language a lot.

Even Bill Cosby's addressed this topic. He also said enough of the stupid names for black kids. One black mother threatened to sue her daughter's school because they didn't pronounce her name correctly. The name was La-sha. The mother said: "Any fool knows the name is pronounced La Dash Ahh. The dash ain't silent!"

Who knew?

Great article by a black liberal journalist who experienced an epiphany when he taught at Stillman for a couple years:

Someone I know gave a young black man speical race preference for a job that involved technical training so he could move up in the organization and succeed. These training program slots were few and far between and highly competitive. One of young man’s major problems was ebonics in speech and in writing. People could not understand him and it turned out he had a huge chip on his sholder about it.

So his supervisor sent him to an English class at a big University that was designed for the ebonics crowd in business. That little race baiter then thanked his mentor by suing him for being a racis.

That was the end of that program. They rediscovered the glory of merit. People who do not earn what they gain through merit, but rather the importance and beauty of the hides, often think they have everything coming to them and do not struggle to acheive in a real sense. Rather, they set their struggle on racial dominance - acheiving more racial special treatment. They get racepimpitis.

There are plenty of those black granduates who are able to compete in a merit system and they will most likely do well in their careers. But as a group quota, you won’t see that success.
