So, first it is declared elitist here at the fire, and now it is declared racist by academia. What will be the next attack upon it, and from where will it come?

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
"Come, shall we go and kill us venison? And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools, Being native burghers of this desert city, Should in their own confines with forked heads Have their round haunches gored."
So the rest of the Industrialized World is"racist" as well, If they use "proper English"
I'm OK with that.

So fuuuking stupid and racist on it's face to assume that ALL black people speak in ebonics or jive or whatever they want to call it. Black people should be embarrassed.
You assume that they know the meaning of the word..................
Funny how I never seem to catch "Birth of a Nation" on any of the channels when I am surfing channels late at night.
First time I saw it was about 1973/74 on the Univ. Of Texas campus. Believe it was at the Blanton auditorium.

As a sidenote, my GGGrandfather was removed from the Texas House of Representative (11th Legislative session) along with others, by Federal troops (Gen. Phil Sheridan) in 1866 after being duly elected by his constituents. All because they were doing their job as were the wishes of their constituents.

Horsecrap, professor. "Being white", is no different than being anything else. They are defining success, as white. Success is possible no matter what your race, but you can't always do it YOUR way, no matter what your race is, as well. White, my horse's patootie...
This is a perspective many here should understand. More than a handful of posters struggle to write passable English, and they often take pride in that.

That is the point that I was trying to make. You did a much better job.

Hmmm....being able to communicate with another person with proper English and being able to be understood is racist? IMHO I believe that professor is bat schist crazy. My bad. Poor communication skills. MTG
