Demand for black linguistic justice

[Paul Essien]

Needs like getting a good job? Needs like earning respect? Needs like success in society generally?

The white supremacists control all the jobs.

Needs like getting a good job? Needs like earning respect? Needs like success in society generally?

The white supremacists control all the jobs.

Here we go again. The poor, helpless little victim has no responsibility for himself or anything that happens in his own life.

 

[WelfareQueen]

Needs like getting a good job? Needs like earning respect? Needs like success in society generally?

The white supremacists control all the jobs.

So you're a Dim voter. . You're victimhood have you away.

This is the kind of insanity that postmodernism brings about; Reality is not real. Objectivity is subjective. Groups are more important than individuals.

It is the silly pedagogy of Dewey who rejected all objective standards.

African American vernacular is broken English and school ought to teach children proper English. Language does not have a race and making it a racial issue is absolutely insane.

I want to see a movement of Valley girls demanding "their English" becomes prioritised over the proper/standard one taught in school "because.... like.... it is totally disrespectful and stuff!"

"Valley girls"? You're dating yourself.

Laaaaater, loser.

Has a black scholar of linguistics developed a lexicon and a grammar for the "black language" ? Is it available? Will those of us who do not know the black language be able to get instruction? It is a written
language? Does it have an alphabet? a literature?

/——/ If I knew how to code, I’d write an app to translate standard English into Ebonics. I’d make a bundle.

Apparently, we DO need an official language. In order to be NATURALIZED in this country, you have to be conversant in English...

Not to a very high degree, and there is NO requirement to speak English at all to be a natural born citizen, nor is there any requirement to maintain any degree or incremental improvement in English. Otherwise, we would have thrown Jitler out long ago. There IS however, a requirement on the part of the government to provide due process and equal protection under the law, as well as to ensure equal voting rights. Then there's the First Amendment and all that stuff about freedom of speech and all. Well, you get the idea.

Freedom of speech does not mean having to shove every language on earth down our throats.
...

It does mean that the government can't tell any American what language to speak.

Which you and I agree on ad naseum.
It does not guarantee that my taxes have to pay for signs and interpreters.

they used to teach spanish words on Sesame street.
Uno dos tres......... You got something against the
same for Ebonics. At least one or our very own congress (wo)men teaches ITS 9 (?) year old offspring
ebonic words.

What happens in a criminal trial when the defendant cannot afford an attorney?

That was quite a racist question.
You are inferring that Spanish people aren’t charitable enough to donate time to help each other.

I don’t know one Yiddish/English speaking Jew who wouldn’t be willing to help anybody with a foreign language.

By the way, my son-in-law’s first language is Spanish and he agrees with me and is willing to be anyones translator.

Either that or you have to be more explicit with your posts.

I did.
My tax dollars should never be used to hire translators.
Let them use an App.
I do it at work.
And don’t tell me the poorest people don’t have a smartphone because I work in a poor area and everyone has an Android or an iPhone paid for
from my tax dollars.

You are getting desperate.
