Free speech for all unless you are white, that is (or at least that is how it seems to go these days).

And for Kanye's information, I don't want to speak the way that they do (ebonics)...so that I sound like a complete, uneducated idiot.

I think that ebonics should be done away with anyway...Quit being lazy and actually learn proper ENGLISH! If the black people (that think like Kanye and others) want the racism that exists to be gone, they need to stop supporting the things that divide us!

I have worked in public education for almost 25 years and am sick and tired of hearing some of my fellow educators murder standard English, such as "axe" for "ask", labtop for "laptop" and "on tomorrow". One of our administrators actually pronounced "patriotism" as "patrism" over the intercom to the entire student body!

Most of these education professionals have educational specialists degrees and doctorates. They are teaching our children!
