Very soon having white skin will be seen as racist. Wait a minute...
The old CiF section of The Guardian (now called Opinion) is one of the looniest showcases of left-wing thought processes. I don’t know if the writers do dope on a regular basis or just are stuck on stupid. I guess the old advocates of ebonics are back. They may make headway this time.
They are now considering banning comments because it hurts female “editorialists’” feelings.
Why shouldn’t it be? Everything else is. Why not good grammar?
Hoodrat (who polished up nicely for the interview, but the inner ghetto couldn't be hidden): "Yo! Man! Lets me axe you a querstun: Why didn't you hires me? I gots my degree! Why you hired dat Chinese guy?"
Me: "You were considered for a heavy phone sales job. His secondary language is better than your ONLY and PRIMARY language. Buyers of my product want to hear professionalism and the "King's English". You have neither attributes".
Hoodrat: "I'm going to sue you for discrimination".
Me: "Good luck. One look at your interview tape and your signed paperwork will clearly show who is more qualified. By the way, I DID hire a minority. Be sure to tell your attorney THAT".
Maybe onanism is racist because it is always white.
Civilization = Racism
Having an IQ above 85 is racist.
“To them, black people (or any other designated group they are trying to “help”) are simply incapable of meeting the same standards as whites”
“That an editor should voice these opinions is astonishing. I suppose we can look forward to the Guardian sliding even further into incoherence.”
Incoherence? Thomas Lifson is way off. It couldn’t be any clearer.
Liberals are racists. If anything they are becoming more
coherent the closer they get to total overthrow.
My childhood black English teacher would have disagreed. She was just as hard on blacks as whites.
Fantastic! I’m not a good speller and the rules of English grammar and writing styles are so complex that literally no one can know them all. Finally I’ve been released from bondage!
Having good grammar and failing to correct others (politely and discretely, but clearly enough that they can learn) just because they have a different skin color, is racist. This is a guarantee that those with bad grammar will always be seen as less educated, less intelligent, and less teachable. I cannot imagine hating black people enough to want them to sound uneducated, or having so much contempt for them that I couldn't believe they were capable of learning to speak proper English. I expected good grammar from my children before they were five years old, and that was not an expression of superiority, just an expression of love.
Of course, this is the next step after the far too common accusation that one is “acting white” when a black student in elementary or secondary school studies hard and tried to excel in academics.
Of course what that means is that in order to be “authentically ‘black,’” one must be ignorant and uneducated. This also helps ensure that only the “leaders” have any sort of education... Keep the masses dumb and unthinking.

Make it stop...
Isn’t the root word of diversity divide?
For the past few days the public at large was been treated to recorded interviews of Prince, who apparently had very good grammar when he wanted to.
Of course it's racist, if you axe me.
Here’s her video on grammar-racists - it was wiped off of the youtube link in the article.

So we be gotta rite lika dem dummies who vote democwat?
Using good grammar is part of white culture. Maybe whites should start demanding that blacks who do speak correctly stop appropriating our culture. Isn’t that saying the same thing?
