Emoticons are racist. Everyone knows that.
Further, making corrections as a Caucasoid teacher to a black student’s paper is also racist. From DownTrend.com:
Professor Called Racist For Correcting Black Student’s Grammar And Punctuation
by Brian Anderson
I thought the race debate reached a new low when Gummy Bear maker Haribo was accused of racism for making African mask Gummies, but what happen at UCLA this week makes that look sane. 25 University of California Los Angeles students participated in a sit-in protest because, get this, one of their professors had the gall to correct grammar and spelling issues on some black students’ papers.
Val Rust, a professor of education and information, was the target of the protestors for what they feel was racial insensitivity. Describing themselves as “aggrieved minority students,” they claim that the professor was wrong to correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar in the papers of black students.
Call 2 Action: Graduate Students of Color, the group which launched the sit-in, said the act of correcting a black student was “micro-aggression.” But it’s much worse than you think. The group issued the following statement:
“A hostile campus climate has been the norm for Students of Color in this class throughout the quarter as our epistemological and methodological commitments have been repeatedly questioned by our classmates and our instructor. The barrage of questions by white colleagues and the grammar ‘lessons’ by the professor have contributed to a hostile class climate.”
Did you get that? Trying to hold black students to a college level of proper writing skill is a hostile act of racism. And you know they are serious; just look at all those big words they used in their statement.
I cannot read this and not think of the absolute disaster called “Ebonics,” a failed 1996 Leftist program stemming from the Oakland School Board in Fornicalia, which insisted that “Ebonics” was an actual, embraced, logical and promoted language.
This amazing paragraph:
For students whose primary dialect was “Ebonics”, the Oakland resolution mandated some instruction in that dialect, both for “maintaining the legitimacy and richness of such language… and to facilitate their acquisition and mastery of English language skills.” This also included the proposed increase of salaries of those proficient in both “Ebonics” and Standard English to the level of those teaching limited English proficiency (LEP) students and the use of public funding to help teachers learn AAVE themselves.[1]
Please allow me to dredge up another statement from Captain Obvious: “Ebonics” was another Leftist ploy to make excuses for lazy black instructors and black students who had no incentive to excel, as they were held to few if any quality standards by said instructors.
Unmotivated and excuse-providing black teachers expected nothing from their students but to portray and embrace themselves as victims.
Expecting actual performance from a black student is racist. Keeping him ignorant and stupid is not racist but to be promoted. This kind of thinking mystifies me.
And, in truth, helps to keep a permanent underclass just that.
