    More emphasis needs to be put on the English language

    Nobody said AAVE had anything to do with Africa. The language is, however, a language of a culture -- i'm not quite sure how culture can be "made up." The culture surrounding AAVE formed the same way as any culture formed, and I don't see how it is considered a handicap. AAVE and "hood" slang...

    Nancy Pelosi loves illegal immigrants

    I don't think viewing this issue from a different perspective is trying to spin things at all. I also don't understand how you can group all criminals into the same category -- do these illegal immigrants deserve the same treatment as individuals who commit murder? Ruining families does not...

    Pro-criminals want Obama to appease illegals.

    I would argue, based on your obviously angry reaction and the furious reactions of many other people, that it does make a blip. There are many people angry and upset by Polosi's actions. I understand your feelings about illegal immigration, but I think it's unfair to liken illegal immigrants...

    More emphasis needs to be put on the English language

    Check out the link i posted, do a google search of AAVE. It's an accepted language of focus in many linguistic classes, and the written rules are all over the place. It depends on what "public" you are referring to. "Hood languages" accepted in law firms and big business? Probably not...

    Pelosi Tells Illegal Immigrants That Work Site Raids are Un-American

    Invade? We have an 8% unemployment rate. These immigrants are not plotting to take jobs away from U.S. citizens -- you make it seem as though it is a war, that promoting a change in immigration policy will make it acceptable for other countries to "invade" our land. I don't think Mexico is...

    More emphasis needs to be put on the English language

    Who said these languages have broken grammer? Actually, many "hood languages," as you refer to them, have more complicated grammar structures than standard english. Take African American Vernacular English, for example. Verb tenses and aspects apply to this language, just as they do in...

    Nancy Pelosi loves illegal immigrants

    Pelosi is not promoting illegal aliens living in the US, but merely the way in which the US deals handles their lives and deportations. Is it American to ruin families and treat people like they are less human than we are? The congresswoman is opposing the current immigration laws as they are...

    A dual language United States

    Many U.S. residents are recent immigrants to the United States, and have been forced out of their countries due to political struggles and fear that their families will not survive conflict and upset in their native countries. With no money and no family in the new country, how can you expect...
