I'm sure all the blacks appreciate a white guy coming to their defense. I mean without you guys, they would have nothing. Thank goodness you're there to carry their banner!

Bill E. 703 Posted January 12, 2024 7 hours ago, RLLD said: This is a fair point. But I am aware that people who have worked for me were able to speak perfectly well, communicate with ease and professionalism.....but I would occasionally be around them on the train out of the city, and they would be on the phone talking to family or friends and "switch" over into some other form of speaking.... So I think people can separate the illiterate from the literate in many cases.... who they really are is tough to say. But in those instances they could be perfectly literate and professional in the office, and perfectly illiterate outside..... There is little difference between what you are saying and what some people say about math. If you do not learn Algebra it may never affect you but it is good to learn it just in case. My experience was that some students of all races going for an Associates degree could not communicate in a business setting. If they work at Walmart or at a restaurant then they will probably be fine... Maybe. They can speak however they want at home but in a job interview some of the ones that were not forced to learn to communicate in a business environment would not stand much of a chance. I was in on many interviews and that would be an easy disqualification. There were enough people that could communicate and the people that could not were thought as not being intelligent. Fair or unfair that was the case. I just think that they should be forced to learn proper communication and math in school and if they never use either than fine. But in the back of their mind something may stick for when they need it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not sure that they are...but if that is the case, then it is because they are more open to accepting new ideas and thoughts, which would include changes in language.
