Yeah, Matt, in a free society I wouldn't have to "speak Ebonics." (Personally, I interviewed several folks while I was at Intel who could not speak standard English. I recommended against their hiring, and they in fact did not get invites to be interviewed at the main facilities. So much for their jive talk habits.) Understand, I have nothing against the colored people speaking "Ebonics" to each other, or to anyone who'll listen. But I don't have to deal with this nonsense, nor do I have to hire them. (Until the People's Republic of Political Correctness demands that I "justify" why not speaking standard English is a "valid job requirement," and refuses to take my "Because I say it is" as a valid answer. Not surprisingly, the Clintonistas have decided to enter the Proposition 209 challenge on the side of the pro-discrimination side.) If I were designing a genocidal program to destroy the colored race, I would be pushing for Ebonics, for encouraging coloreds to study "Human Potential" and "African History" instead of math, science, and engineering, and pushing for hiring quotas. --Tim May Just say "No" to "Big Brother Inside" We got computers, we're tapping phone lines, I know that that ain't allowed. ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
