This could be used SO WELL against libs, showing blacks just how much they think of their intelligence.

Racial and linguistic bias are also hard to tease apart because language is part of how we construct race as social concept, Jones said.

Gee, not this race is a social construct crap again.

Among attendees, Scott said, some judges considered the dialect to be more like slang or lingo. That conclusion contradicts linguistic research, which maintains that its a variety of English with its own grammatical system.So these judges aren't familiar with depositions, interviews, and trial testimony? That legal professionals, in a profession which exists almost entirely in the medium of language, somehow are not familiar with language and its usage?
That the ivory tower "linguists" with their publish or perish motivations, and agenda laden biases are more qualified to render opinions on what is or isn't slang, and ignore that communicative sloppiness is most often attributable to borderline illiteracy?
Or is it that the Judges are simply in need of re-education?

When I use a word, Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, it means just what I choose it to meanneither more nor less. The question is, said Alice, whether you can make words mean so many different things. The question is, said Humpty Dumpty, which is to be masterthat’s all.

Conservatives shouldn’t be caviling at this. Millions of people comprise dozens of groups that speak different languages today, all of which use English. It isn’t even a black-specific issue. There are, so to speak, Redneck, and Tough Guy, and other kinds of dialects in the “white community.” Courts which don’t recognize this will devolve into confusion.

The biggest take-away I get here is an observation of how the curse of Babel is threatening our country of English speakers. Courts can either recognize that, or pretend it isn’t there and plunge the country into worse injustice.

“A person whos hearing it could think that person meant an actual minute, Scott said. But a minute, if youre in the black community, could be an hour. It could be six hours. A minute is a long time.

It could have a lot more serious ramifications.
