It seems that if you speak standard American then suddenly you are no longer considered to be black. <BR/><BR/>At least that is what I was told recently by two of my twenty-something Assistant Teachers. Which prompted me to cuss them both out in a proper ghetto manner. Which stunned them both. <BR/><BR/>It is a problem to in my mind when you cannot speak, read or write in your native language. I was raised in a household where it was mandatory to use the language of America.<BR/><BR/>I am hoping that at some point in time this trend will cease to exist. It is really a hinderance to progress.msladyDeborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17593695415626632490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-78804065684046816862008-10-25T09:38:00.000-04:002008-10-25T09:38:00.000-04:00Great post...I never understood why people my age,...Great post...I never understood why people my age, and younger, had to butcher the English language.

I wasn't that type of kid. My mom has a college degree, but couldn't do my work when I was in high school. She stopped checking my work when I got in the 5th or 6th grade.

There are many programs for young children, and people don't take advantage of them. My daycare provider takes kids who get daycare vouchers.... Mothers won't even bring their child to a free daycare everyday. Here is the kicker, these chicks don't even work. Meanwhile, my husband and I are paying for daycare. The daycare provider reports them and gets them kicked out of the program because of their laziness. She says, "I don't want people to send their black children to me, but not let me teach them." I agree. It starts at home. Don't give me the whole I am a single parent routine. I was young when I had my baby. I see young mothers everyday who are my age, but have teenagers. They are making sure that their children are performing in school..... or else.<BR/>It goes to social responsibility first. How can I tell you what you aren't doing when I won't even do my own damn job.rorysmommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14368600977689278351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-11891869006797020642008-10-23T20:53:00.000-04:002008-10-23T20:53:00.000-04:00FN; BEAN TWN CHICA; ANON; BLACKSTOCKING; and other...FN; BEAN TWN CHICA; ANON; BLACKSTOCKING; and others:<BR/><BR/>The original purpose for public education was to prepare a semi-literate immigrant/native population for the rote/mechanized labor demands of the early years of the Industrial period in America - workers who were not expected to think. Post-modern/industrial America no longer exists - I know you hear the whooshing sound of those jobs leaving our shores (what, 700,00 this past year?). <BR/>It saddens me deeply that so few amerikkkans (demonstrably) appreciate learning; it stands to reason why there is even less appreciation for the sham/circus called, "public education". <BR/>No amount of funding can fix our problem WITHOUT a collective paradigm shift and design in public education. In the meantime, merit pay for qualifying teachers; publicly funded charter-like schools (who might have, BTW, the authority to unceremoniously expel students who choose not to learn); a consortium/cabinet of highly qualified educators might redesign standards of learning outcomes that represent the health, technology, and environmental demands of the 21st century global community. Climate change is real (and irreversible?); our population grows exponentially; we still need to figure out a way to live together in harmony. With that said...corporate standards for speech/dress/appearance are limiting. On the other hand, the loud, celebrated and shameless ignorance in speech, behaviors, and manners of our 'cousins' - no, your underclass 'cousins' - insults the legacies of our ancestors.... Is this - our current state of affairs - what they suffered and struggled for?<BR/>Gawd, how I wish stupidity were painful and ignorance fatal.<BR/><BR/>"Flash"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-27920856312534748262008-10-23T20:38:00.000-04:002008-10-23T20:38:00.000-04:00Remember when Susan Smith killed her kids in her c...Remember when Susan Smith killed her kids in her car and said a black man stole the car with the kids in them?<BR/><BR/>Well it looks like the feared PHANTOM NEGRO has struck again!<BR/><BR/>"A knife-wielding man robbed a McCain-Palin campaign volunteer and etched a “B” into her face after he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the woman’s car, Pittsburgh police said."<BR/><BR/>OMFG, CUE THE DRUDGE HEADLINE!!!<BR/><BR/>"The robber is described as a dark-skinned black man...."<BR/><BR/>Clearly!

As much TV as the average black child watches, they should be familiar with standard American English.

When you deal with the "cousins" at the local fast-food establishment, they laugh at you for speaking standard English if you are black. Between the weed and their ignorance, they could never work a corporate job.<BR/><BR/>The truly sad part is that American corporations hire Indians, Filipinos, and standard English speaking white folks in Utah to work their call centers. Yeah, I know all about paying overseas labor less, but how does that explain Utah? <BR/><BR/>Frankly, I don't expect the O-ness to do much about the "cousins."
