If Black English Isn't a Language, then Tell Me What It Is.

James Baldwin Sounds bitter. He said,” The brutal truth is that the bulk of the white people in America never had any interest in educating black people." I however would not go so far as to call it a new language; I would avoid that because of what will result. If it is called a language the culture is less apt to change for the reason that they don't want to loss their culture. The American Indians specifically the Navajo almost lost their language; they didn’t teach their children how to speak Navajo and the language was almost lost. If the blacks are to ever become interested in improving their present state they must learn to read and write the language on the society in which they live and would become employed. The truth I learned from listening to the educated black man and Bill Cosby and the readings is that the blacks as a whole are not well educated. Nor do they have an interest in becoming literate enough to improve their standing. They do need to get out of the rut that their belief of being black puts them in. In others words what it means to be black in their mind has got to change. I believe there are plenty of examples of this in the world history. One such example is our present issue of the borders between Mexico and the US. This issue has some parallels; the Mexicans that come to get work and care nothing more than to make some money. They don’t want to do it right and legal and become an American and show their love of this country. On the contrary they fly their flag above ours and our American flag upside down. This for me a very patriot person is a slap in my face and makes me take a position that I might not have taken if I were to witness a people that wants to become an American because they love America. The illegal aliens hurt America by their stubbornness to do it their way not the right way the legal way. They increase our medical costs and bankrupt hospitals in California. They are not turned away for no insurance, thus they cost us more money than they are worth.
