Our colleges have ceased being institutions of higher learning. At no point will that jibberish nonsense ever be a real language.

I wonder how many folks that speak AAVE would have any idea what the hell you're talking about if you asked them to teach you "AAVE".

This is the "soft tyranny of low expectations". When you hear a conservative thinker accuse the left of covert racism, this is a classic example. Lower the bar for education and keep them dumb.

Idiocracy is going to happen much sooner than Mike Judge's original idea of 500 years.

If I were black, this would offend a whole lot more than calling me the n word. What this does is insinuate that because one is black they are incapable of speaking correctly, therefore, the system must be skewed to allow them some leeway. In essence, they’re too dumb to learn simple English. I know a lot of black folks that are far from dumb - this attitude isn’t fair to them. This skewed approach to race will not end well.

I will say it’s pretty hard to change one’s vernacular that is built at an early age

Failure to use past participle correctly hurts my teeth, no matter the race of the user.

I've lived around that type of sentence structure all of my life, and I only wish that we could have stopped the slang "True-dat" from crossing the state line.

I don’t speak that language and I can’t find a google translator that helps.
