Professors say proper grammar is racist, perpetuates whiteness
Towson University recently hosted a virtual "Antiracist Pedagogy Symposium," according to Campus Reform, which "criticized university writing curriculum and programs for being racist and perpetuating whiteness."
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.

Rachel Jeantel also known as Jabba the Hut testified for the prosecution at the Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin trial. Her rendition of English was pure ghetto mumbo jumbo. You can still pull up articles defending her Afro dialect English which was hardly any known language except maybe in a Florida Negro underclass. One White lady was bemoaning the education system failing the poor girl. I believe she was about 18 or 19 trying to get through the 11th grade. Let a hillbilly get on TV and butcher the language a little and it would be a different story. His ignorance would derided, mocked, and made fun of. Probably be called a Trump supporter, and that would not be a compliment
I thought they've been saying that for decades already.
You’re correct. Grammar, spelling, math, science; pretty much anything that can be graded. Grades too of course. No doubt kids from schitty ghetto schools are at a disadvantage when it comes to all that, but what happens to them when they go into the world and can’t communicate, cipher, etc? They fail naturally, but our lopsided system makes it very hard for employers to hire only qualified people, so they end up “carrying” employees that aren’t up to snuff at tremendous expense. Betcherass the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and other successful economies ain’t suffering from that disadvantage.
The solution is to improve the schools, fire crap teachers, and provide extra help to kids that need it, but most of that runs against the notions of the teachers’ unions who think the way to fix education is to pay them more🤪.
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?

You assume that they know the meaning of the word..................
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

The good ones are and they're mighty sick and tired of this schit.

True! But what pisses me off is why are THEY not speaking out?!

Have you seen, heard, or read what happens to them when they do.
The attacks on President Trump pail in comparison to what the MSM, Hollywood and the left do to any black person that dares to leave the Plantation.
They are going to call me a racist, because I refuse to kiss leftist or Black Asses...
I don't expect them to change to fit my needs, so why should they expect me to change to fit THEIR needs...
and hell, its just their current fad now... you know they will have another in 6 months...
and on the other side, why would anyone in their right mind, give a damn what they call you?
Face it, they don't like us, so why give a damn?
on the flip side I could care less about them also...
I've never expected a thing in life at someone else's expense, so why in the hell should I give anyone else something at my expense?
just more snowflakes making an effort to act their useless existence actually accounts for something, when its quite obvious it doesn't...
Name a WOKE person who has any worthwhile accomplishments to their credit....even one...
AMEN! if everyone that thought this way would just speak up ! these fools would so crawl back under the rock they in which they came from !!! I have not ever tried to push my ways , thoughts or ideas on anyone, and I make it clear that I have no time for fools that try to push theirs on me !!!
I watched an interview during which Dr. Walter E. Williams said he was glad he received his education before it was fashionable for white people to like black people. If there was an A on his transcript he earned it.

They need to step up and get the rest of the tribe under control
Cool...Let’s just reduce the English language to its most primitive and basic utterances so those who never reached higher than the 5th grade won’t feel inferior.
Plus, we all can start making up our own words to describe things that have had common- whiteness names. Like money. We can now call money a “Loaf” or making an income “Maken Ends”
Hell, we already know how to spell “Phat Ass”.
Reduce everything to the lowest uncommon denominator.
ANYTHING to try to destroy the culture of this Republic. It's easy to see why the Communists kill or imprison the teachers and 'intelligentsia' when they take over a country.

Hell! They could do us a grand favor if they started that now! Being the vast majority of intelligentsia here are bolshies.
Never built anything more than a ground floor thatched grass hut in Africa! To quote one of their own kind which stated “couldn’t even build a sea-worthy boat and a black man don’t know nothing bout running no nation!”
A day or so ago I posted to this thread and announced I needed to go check my white privilege. At first I wasn't sure where to look so I went behind the couch, in my truck, under stuff. Nope. But I found it and I am happy to inform you all it is alive and well! I'm feeling better about things I really am. Love the 'fire!
Steve4102: Sad - this kalifornicationkopianization of the once wonderful and great United States of America! "We" (and by "we" I mean true pro-American, traditional valued citizens of this country!) have NO ONE to blame for allowing this crap to start and to continue, but OURSELVES! I do NOT see this situation getting any better until the media, our newspapers, our schools, our universities, our magazines, our late night "hosts", our politicians, our T.V. commentators and reporters and our judges are shamed into telling the truth and upholding the Constitution. "We" are in a fix for sure. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
