Lefties are offended by almost everything that is traditional, or that suggests there is a right or a wrong side to an issue. It is all part of the societal deconstruction they seek, because, well, they don’t like to be judged and found wanting. They have been raised with the idea that no one should be able to offend their tender sensibilities by pointing out, for example, 2 + 2 actually does have an answer and it is four, not five.
For Lefties that would be terribly hurtful if they thought the total was five, and so mean-spirited, unreasonable traditionalists should be prohibited from pointing out they are wrong. It is the whole self-esteem craze promoted for the last twenty or thirty years run amok.
In the following video, a woman of color, who in fact uses very good grammar and has a delightful British accent, complains that promoting good grammar is actually racist and that grammar is an old, rich, white persons way of putting others down.
This is an attempt at anarchy that is subtle but telling. No rules, no standards, no right or wrong. That is the objective of Leftists so that what they demand or produce cannot be measured or evaluated. It would be easy to dismiss this as pure idiocy, but there are many who take it seriously, and there will be government liberals who will find a way to codify it into legal policy and mandate. This woman is a nut, but her accent makes you want to listen. It’s kind of like a car wreck on the side of the road that you just have to take a peek at. Watch the video.
Speak pig Latin for all I care – good luck finding a decent job too when we take you off welfare
As an retired high school English teacher, I agree with her. In my classroom, it was taught and I wanted them to use it correctly, but outside of my classroom, I understand that language is a tool of communication, period. Speaking the Queen’s English can be exhausting in today’s world. Speak to be understood, if that is accomplished, then all is well.
Lol, what a maroon.(sic)
I think that anyone who’s concerned about intelligence is concerned about language. What is more fundamental than the way we communicate?
But I thought we ere the uneducated ones…
Uncivilized people are unable to learn how to speak in a comprehensible manner . SO OUT COMES THE RACIST CARD AGAIN . Seems funny that anytime these people can’t do something , it’s racist . It must be the new terminology ignorant , stupid , lazy , uncivilized people are going to use to cover their inadequacies and walls they can’t climb . Speaking of walls , how’s it going on the new one ?
AAAANNND, here is an authentic ignorant idiot!!!!
blacks can’t learn good grammar because of their Native mentally !!
Laughable idiot
And foreigners too
