"I'd rather graduate from one of them schools"
Did nobody care enough about this kid to correct his English by the time he's 18 years old?
Everyone who hears him talk (and that includes job interviewers) is going to think he is STUPID!
Black people are NOT unable to learn proper English.
Letting them slide is one of the most anti-black things you can do.
No, either they were black and didn't care whether this kid spoke 'like the white man,' or they were white and were too cowed by PC to correct a kid, who, after all, is just speaking his native language, Ebonics.
This kind of stuff makes me sick. I can't tell you how many black kids I've either not hired or relegated to positions where they don't interact with the client because their English was mediocre. And these were all college grads!
Then the race mongers want to say a college degree doesn't change things for blacks.
