Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


Given that I am bi-lingual, though not bi-sexual, I feel that I have more to offer than the average applicant who speaks only one language. Given my linguistic diversity, I would be ready, willing, and able to extend help to those in minority communities once white liberals in Southern California are back on their feet again.

Please take my inquiries more seriously than you have to this point.

To Whom It May Concern (sswadm@usc.edu):

Given dat I be bi-lingual, though not bi-sexual, I feel dat I gots mo' ta offer than da average applicant who speaks only one language. Given muh ma f****n linguistic diversity, I would be ready, willing, an' able ta extend he`p ta those in minority communities once whitey liberals in Southern California iz back on they feet ag'in.

Please take muh ma f****n inquiries mo' seriously than ya gots ta dis here point.

To Whom It May Concern (sswadm@usc.edu):

I hope that in this final missive you will be convinced that your Ebonics Scholarship for blacks is among the most deeply offensive and racist programs offered in higher education – and that is really saying something. For years, conservatives have been trying to dismantle “liberal” government programs that encouraged blacks to remain poor, uneducated, unemployed, and, for women, pregnant out-of-wedlock.

Now you want to reward blacks for using improper English, which will surely be to their detriment in any respectable field – though not necessarily in the field of Social Work. Shame on you! And shame on your filthy racism.

The next email you receive will not be from me. It will be from my friend, Benjamin. He’ll be inquiring about the absence of a Jewish Social Work Caucus at USC. He has friends in the ADL. I’m told his second language is Hebronics.

why
Ralph Ellison:

Humor, requiring a premise to have context, why Dr. Adams chose the subject of Ebonics is apparent to those of us with only moderate intellect.

As Dr. Adams states at the very beginning "I was searching for scholarships at USC and found the following information on a "Black Alumni Association/Ebonics Support GroupScholarship" at The University of Southern California."

While he doesn't go into detail as to why he would have been searching for scholarships at USC, it shouldn't be necessary as it was simply the premise for the humorous events (whether real or imagined) that followed. Some great hunor begins with " a Priest, a Rabbi, and a Monk walk into a bar",,,,,. The reasoning behind any of the characters in the story choosing to join the clergy is not an essential element to the story. Oh well, some people really can't tell a joke.

Axe de right question
Mike; you don't be axing dem de right question.
