“Standard American English is the language of the productive, the useful, the law abiding, the ones who used to make this country work.”
That’s right; now apply the same lax grading standard to math, history, etc., and you have the current state of education in urban black (and increasingly in white) education. No way to compete in a global workforce, especially when the foreigners come here and quickly grasp the language better.
Speakin’ a poetry and literature, the Irish showed the English how their own language should be used. There is actually some great “Ebonic” literature, in American Negro folk tales and songs, much of it captured, unfortunately, by white intermediaries, so it is discounted as racists. I am thinking of Steven Foster and Joel Chandler Harris. Even Margret Mitchell accurately captured authentic era African American speech.
Young Master Soetoro is legatee of none of this.
