Basically so they can fit in 2 the WHITE man's world they need 2 communicate like they teach in school,
DAMN does anybody. Please most people in everyday speaking talk incorrectly. 4 a job will U need to kiss azz yeah everyone should be able to speak somewhat correctly at least I guess. Yet does anyone know where what is considered black talk comes from,
the fuckin' south shit most white people from the south talk the same fuckin' way go 2 the VA foolz
Bill Cosby just talkin' shit, his show was only made to cuz white people wanted to be like see we got a black person on tv, but his show was the equivalent to LEAVE IT TO BEAVER, pleaze, what a bunch of bull....

But how do you "take back the community" without acknowledging that things can be done by black peple themselves a.k.a "blaming the victim." It seems like Black America has dictated that no one, not even black people themselves, can tell them that the ball is in their court even on *some* issues.

No one is saying Blacks are completely responsible for their situation, but in this day and age the impetus for real change will be Black people themselves, not white people, not politicians, not government programs.
I didn't say blacks couldn't do it themselves, I'm saying that black folks that know the problem and can do something about should do something about it. This isn't a direct statement at Bill Cosby because I know he's done somethings, but there are countless black folks out there that can do something that aren't doing something.

The bar is not set very high for these kids at all, and a lot can graduate elementary school, middle school without knowing how to read and write properly.
its funny how the naacp, jesse jackson, al sharpton etc.. demand lower standards for black students to "level the playing field" when in fact what they are saying is blacks are inferior.

saying that standardized tests are racist. the only way i see white people being able to help blacks out in this situation is an assassination attempt on these pied pipers.

Standardized tests are not racist in any way shape or form. Asians typically do better than whites, but I would say whites are just as if not more so successful in "real world" opportunities than Asians. A test does not determine how you end up in life. Your work ethic and skills do.

It kills me to here people say that they can't get shit out of life and someones always trying to break them down ...when people come here from other countries speaking no english and own businesses and so on. When they have gone threw more than we have.

THEN YOU STRESSED,"YOURE NOT CONCERNED ENOUGH WITH WHAT WHITE PEOPLE THINK."

NO SHIT. TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I AIN'T CONCERNED WITH WHAT N-E-BODY THINKS. I AIN'T TRYIN' TO PLEASE NOBODY.

THEN YOU STRESSED,"IF YOU RAISE YOUR KIDS WITH THE SAME ATTITUDE THEY ARE DESTINED FOR FAILURE."

BULLSHIT. MAYBE IN YOUR PERCEPTION. I'LL RAISE MY CHILDREN WITH VALUES AND TEACH THEM THE SQUARE SHIT TOO, CAUSE NATURAL PROgRESSION IS THAT THEY'LL SPEAK WITH A SLANg. I'LL TEACH THEM TO BE SELF-SUFFICIENT AND DON'T DEPEND ON NOBODY FOR SHIT, TO BE LEADERS, AND RESPECT THOSE WHO RESPECT YOU.

THEN YOU STRESSED,"AND THEYRE GONNA THINK IT WAS THE WHITE MANS FAULT WHEN IT WAS REALLY YOURS."

I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE SHOULD RESEARCH THE TERM "UNCLE TOM". I ALSO BELIEVE THEY SHOULD READ THE BOOK UNCLE TOM'S CABIN BEFORE THEY USE THE TERM IN THE WRONG MANNER.


I AGREE WITH COSBY TO SOME EXTENT. IT STARTS AT HOME WITH THE PARENTS AND HOW THEY TRAIN THE KIDS....HOWEVER......NAW I WON'T GO INTO THAT.



:HGK:


P.S. SAMBO WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR A "SELLOUT".

"WE SICK MASSAH WE BE SICK AN WE DONT BE WANTIN TAH LEEB YA PLANTASHUN NO SUH"

You're right, self-segregation is the key. Black slang helps blacks become blacker just like Talking like a country hick makes white people become whiter. Slang over success, the way to be.

lol, I think you missed my point homie. I certainly agree that there are situations that improper English doesn't belong in, and I definitely agree that parents, no matter what race they are, should benefit their children by teaching them proper English. But there is nothing wrong with having a separate dialect that sets your culture aside from others. It's the fact that people in this country DON'T all speak, act and dress the same that gives America the great cultural diversity that it has.

No one is telling Black people to scrap all of their unique slang words or dialect. The problem is some people are so ingratiated in an environment where that is all they hear, that when the time comes they're unable to speak properly.
