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.
STUPID
Intelligent people speak intelligently. To say proper speech is racist is the same as saying that correcting math errors is racist, or that poor test results are racist, or that assembling something correctly is racist. It’s just plain stupid.
That’s like saying they’re not smart enough to use correct grammar!!!
Correcting grammar is not Racist, any race can slaughter the English language. Correcting them just serves to point out their lack of education and self respect, doesn’t matter what race, religion, national origin or zip code they are….all the same!
WHAT?
Sandy Powers Actually I got C’s and D’s in English as a whole in both HS and college… I was however always fascinated with grammar, especially diagramming sentence structure, perhaps because I enjoyed methods using logic… It was while I was employed (retired for a few years now) that I learned the importance of grammar in communication, oral and written… I had to write and deliver technical reports for three levels – user, management and executive… Each required a specific manner of expression to be understood at the respective layer of communication… Being misunderstood at any of those levels usually created issues…
Mona, if I wanted yo apinion, I’d axt fo it. Silly Ho.
everything is racist today
Wasn’t this the ebonics trend!? Speaking properly makes you able to communicate worldwide. Oh. You’d rather be labeled as a cripple than participate as an equal so i qualify for’ free something’.Raising expectations is a threat to liberal controlling you nwo. BLECK! The world turned upside down.
What else is racist? It’s ridiculous!
