I think people should be able to speak their own native language.
But Liberals think that this is too hard for blacks. We cannot expect proper English from them because they’re incapable?
Oh, and 2+2=3 or 4... whichever makes you feel better about yourself.
Their own, local or ethnic one, and the one common, "proper" English.
Most of we 8th generation Vermonters have our own local dialects, different from one another and very different from "standard English".
However, most of us also became proficient at standard English to be able to communicate with others.
I enjoy hearing a southern Black accent and dialect, as well as many others, and I hope when I slip back into my Vermont twang, it entertains others as well.
You would think Blacks would be very offended by the low expectations of racist liberals.
I mean, if we start talking with the F...ing this and F...ing that, and we "be hang'n" with good old Mom, a guy could get "all bussted" that way... :(
“Good grammar” includes those pesky sentence structure rules, singular vs. plural and past/present/future tenses. Ebonics doesn’t have those.
