My German mother was an interpreter for the Civil Court system in Munich, Germany after WWII and she told me that when Black Military Policemen would testify before the court, they spoke "perfect English" but when they were speaking among themselves, there was a shift in the way they spoke that made it uncomprehensable to her, a school-trained interpreter.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;To me, this is clear evidence that there has ALWAYS been two languages, each to be used to communicate as the situation dictated.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;In case you didn't know, the concept of Eubonics was "made up" in the very early 80's by a City Councilman in Oakland, California in an attempt to qualify Oakland Schools for more Federal Assistance money by claiming that the majority of the students were non-English speakers.  Not only did it not work but it caused a mild uproar about the quality of a Public School education in the city of Okland.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;So - I'm looking for the logic here - and the choice is not restricted to "Money OR Culture", it is "Money AND Culture" with a little effort.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;AND - In my general experience, if you are waiting for the "Leaders to realize the injustices they are forcing.....", be sure to pack a lunch, because you are going to be waiting a long, long time.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;-Looking for enlightenment....</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37800949/1336390451364229328/comments/default/8487669878163832504'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37800949/1336390451364229328/comments/default/8487669878163832504'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://confinesofreality.blogspot.com/2007/12/black-america-or-why-obama-is-first.html?showComment=1206982080000#c8487669878163832504' title=''/><author><name>Lorenzo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02694408816737278728</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://confinesofreality.blogspot.com/2007/12/black-america-or-why-obama-is-first.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37800949.post-1336390451364229328' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37800949/posts/default/1336390451364229328' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37800949.post-5634610913583138976</id><published>2008-03-24T13:09:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-03-24T13:09:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>You wish.

Do African Americans DESERVE to be treated as inferiors if a certain percentage don't speak perfect English? Could the problems YOU see in black culture's unwillingness to conform to White standards by using ebonics actually be an integral, important, developmental part of African American culture? You're not sensitive to the fact that to change one's language completely changes the culture in turn. Black people have a lot going against them in this country because white people can not handle the thought of other people not living out the "American" dream and becoming a cog in the money-hungry, corporate machine. Education is NOT limited to academics and independent study. As much as I support all forms of education and self-enrichment, people have the right NOT to be educated. And even so, college are DEGREE FACTORIES, i.e. you fulfill requirements and Penn State hooks you up with a job where mostly WHITE people work. It is up to the LEADERS, the PEOPLE in POWER to realize the injustices they are forcing upon other cultures.   &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;America is lazy, period. Standards of laziness are relative. Our education system is terrible and prejudiced toward minorities of all types. I've felt this discrimination by going to a Catholic school, where the logic of religion was forced down my throat.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;"But even if these people are ambassadors of black cultural they still speak rather well compared to many blacks in America." - We shouldn't be changing how African Americans speak, we should be changing the "If I'm going to go into the city, I'm going to get shot" mentality. Whenever I hear a white person say this, I hear a complete misunderstanding of this culture. This is to say that white Americans need to change the way they view black culture.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37800949/1336390451364229328/comments/default/4033904498381937298'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37800949/1336390451364229328/comments/default/4033904498381937298'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://confinesofreality.blogspot.com/2007/12/black-america-or-why-obama-is-first.html?showComment=1197914100000#c4033904498381937298' title=''/><author><name>Alexander von Stubenreich</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://confinesofreality.blogspot.com/2007/12/black-america-or-why-obama-is-first.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37800949.post-1336390451364229328' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37800949/posts/default/1336390451364229328' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37800949.post-5892154444151107850</id><published>2007-12-17T09:40:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-12-17T09:40:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>LOVES it!</title><content type='html'>LOVES it!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37800949/6299878850965470320/comments/default/5892154444151107850'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37800949/6299878850965470320/comments/default/5892154444151107850'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://confinesofreality.blogspot.com/2007/12/oh-why-not-every-other-shitty-blog-has.html?showComment=1197902400000#c5892154444151107850' title=''/><author><name>Arbitrarie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12380275761039283391</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://confinesofreality.blogspot.com/2007/12/oh-why-not-every-other-shitty-blog-has.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37800949.post-6299878850965470320' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37800949/posts/default/6299878850965470320' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37800949.post-2945248029363708173</id><published>2007-12-15T02:21:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-12-15T02:21:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>This boy is genius....I love the video and really ...</title><content type='html'>This boy is genius....I love the video and really want him to come back next season.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37800949/4654259360311121879/comments/default/2945248029363708173'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37800949/4654259360311121879/comments/default/2945248029363708173'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://confinesofreality.blogspot.com/2007/12/again-i-profess-my-love-for-jack.html?showComment=1197703260000#c2945248029363708173' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://confinesofreality.blogspot.com/2007/12/again-i-profess-my-love-for-jack.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37800949.post-4654259360311121879' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37800949/posts/default/4654259360311121879' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37800949.post-5237960692102752765</id><published>2007-12-04T17:05:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-12-04T17:05:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Having a person who struggles with addiction and t...</title><content type='html'>Having a person who struggles with addiction and the problems that come with it, can be very trying on a person who just wants to see their loved one happy and in peace. This is why the A&amp;E show Intervention is so important. It demonstrates how difficult addiction can be and uses a highly qualified team of specialists to address the core issues. The show really does a great job of showing what it takes to get on the road to recovery for some of the most difficult addictions, while also showing how it affects everyone involved with the person who has the addiction. Check out http://www.aetv.com/intervention for more on the show. I’m working to help promote the show because I think it can give anyone a great real life example of what it’s like to deal with addiction.
