Michigan Professor Among Those Declaring Correct Grammar Is Racist | The Michigan Star

Well, that makes math and language racists. Yesterday I read where traffic fatalities are racist too.
Any bets on what comes next? I got $2.00 on mowing the grass. Cause if mowing the grass is racist, then I have the perfect alibi for never doing it again.

Wife: Jim, you going to mow the grass today?
Me: Sorry baby, I can't support racist white supremacy patriarchal hegemony in any form.

Anyone else? We should start a pool. Winner takes all. Wait! Is gambling racists yet?

Sad times.

What she is actually saying is this - expecting blacks to speak, write, and read is beyond their mental capabilities, and it is unfair to hold them to the same standard we hold white people. For the time being, English is the Global language of many industries, and someone who cannot speak, read, or write it faces challenges in the global economy. This is NOT a racial issue, as there are plenty of white people who cannot speak , read, or write with proper grammar (Appalachian Mountains anyone?). This is what is called race baiting, and she is a grifter trying to profit on racial divides.

The original, pure language of any people was bastardized as soon as the first non-native speaker of that language attempted to join in a conversation. Noting racial about it. They were simply non-native speakers. My wife speaks fluent French. Needless to say, I don't. When I stumble over french words when trying to join a conversation does that make the French people racist if they chuckle over my mispronunciations? No. New words are added by new generations and slang is thrown in from a multitude of immigrants from around the world. Everyone needs to take a deep breath and accept than languages will always change. Nothing racist about it.
