So this is how language dies ... not with a bang, but with a thunderous “Yo yo yo muthafu**a, big up yo is dahn wit dat dog yo wat it iz”.

Could also be the genesis of ‘newspeak’

So no language should have a structure because it changes over time? There are to be no rules that defines nouns and verbs and where they are placed in a sentence? This is sheer stupidity.

Rules are racist because stupid people cannot understand them?

You know, I can apply this same school of thought to mathematics and *finally* prove that 1 = 2.

Actually, we can do away with any conversion to the metric system since we can now say “inch” when we mean “centimeter” and vice versa since it is racist to correct any aspects of language now.

The writers of the AP Styleguide and English text books would disagree.

Declare the English language racist? Our beautiful language is beautiful because of the rules regarding structure, spelling and punctuation. For a long time teachers have been actively eroding our once proud language. Our daughter brought home a paper with misspellings and lacking any punctuation. She received an “A” and when we questioned the grade, in view of the mistakes, the teacher blew us off with “I don’t mark on spelling and punctuation, as long as the thoughts are there.” I’m sure there are worse examples in other courses of study but that was in 1973.

Common core has some horrible examples in simple arithmetic.

Would the twits at this place be able to present any definitive examples to back up their assumptions?

I guess African languages don’t have any grammar, so Africans can’t be expected to learn it. No, wait, they all have grammar and with my quick look at Swahili it looked more complicated than English grammar.

Okay...

So let me see if I have this right.

The Democrat Party (and don’t kid yourself they don’t buy into this) want to lead a nation that:

Has a Declaration of Independence mentioning a God they don’t believe in, and His given rights to mankind which therefore have no basis for existing
Has a Constitution they demonize
Has a Race of people they hold contempt for
Has a Language that has now been deemed racist also
Has a method of foreign nationals joining our nation, that they simply cannot abide by
Has documents that say all men should be treated equal, but they can’t live up to that either now since Whites have privilege
Has a structure of government answerable to the people, but since they can’t get elected, want Judges that don’t answer to the people to over-reach their role in it.

Can’t you just fell the love oozing out to our nation? Me either!

Move to a nation that has all the things you want Democrats. Who’s stopping you?

I’ve been reading Globish by Robert McCrum. He argues that English has conquered the world as the one-and-only international tongue. However, there is not one English but uncounted variations serving every geography and subculture known to man.

So, is t better to have a pure language with rigid standards and limited usage (French) or an adaptable one that becomes universal (Globish)? We get a lot of economic benefit by having the world using our language. And don’t forget that American English is a bastardization of the real thing.

Already CPAC has given the left the green light to limit our right to the free speech of our own language.

Cucks!

As a first step, stop sending racist and unjust US tax dollars to this “school.”
