The Ebonics controversy again.
Or maybe, just maybe, it is required for effective communication.
Why was the Ebonics Beauty Contest canceled? Because nobody wanted to be Miss Idaho.
Now imagine that they also had a teacher who believed that "2+2=4" is a sign of white-supremacy! Would not that be a real shame as well?
So who are the victims of these teachers? How is it helping that they are allowed to teach in such manner as to diminish their student's potential?
If you can’t make yourself understood and if you can’t convey what you mean...why bother getting an ‘education ??
Where I worked with grad students, some of them were actually incapable of speaking properly.
One in particular, I asked several time to repeat what he said.... and STILL I could not understand what he said.
Finally, I told him: ‘If you are spending 4 years doing all this work and spending so much money for an ‘education’... then why do you want to sound like a person who is uneducated?’

College Symposium Razes the Anti-Black Racism of 'Good' Grammar
Definition of raze: demolish; tear down to the ground; destroys.
I see no where in the article that Anti-Back Racism of " good grammar", was destroyed. It was pushed hard that blacks should not have to engage in good grammar, because that is racism. Razes should be raised in my opinion, for what it's worth. 8>p

such skills (uh . . . uh . . .uh)
No skin off my back if you can’t land a decent job because in the interview you speak like a street rat.
Seriously, if you can’t speak your native language fluently I kinda question everything else about you.
If English is the language of White Supremacy why do so many African nations use for their “Official” languages English, French and Portuguese?

So I should shuffle foot around and speak like Stepin Fetchit. Yassuh boss.
Just please drop dead. I’m a well educated white man who speaks the American standard and have no interest in sounding like a runaway slave.
Did we consider hillbillies and rednecks before merging onto Offended Avenue?
I’ve never had a need for people to identify a subjunctive mood, but clear communication is vital to understanding.
Have we reached peak stupidity yet?
True story.
My Niece shows up for her Masters Orientation workshop.
There is a Black Female Professor handing out the Paperwork.
While explaining what information needs to be filled out she tells those in attendance, “we needs to know who you are”.
No, it wasn’t an Ivy League School, but I’m sure Princeton and Yale will catch up with the proper Ebonics sooner or later.
My English teacher in 7th grade (long ago) was a black, handicapped woman...who’s probably rolling in her grave with these idiots suggestions.
First, they called it "acting white" to justify not paying attention in school.
Now, they call it "white supremacy" and racism to demonstrate higher education proficiencies.

“Razes”?
Because they’re so racist that they’re afraid they might act white, we have to lower all standards to their level.
I am from Jackson, MS. I had black teachers in every grade. Every one of them spoke English well. They were articulate. They grew up going to segregated schools and managed to perfect English and taught white children to read and speak English well. They had beautiful reading voices and taught their students those skills. When I think of great voices, I think of James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman and my teachers.
