How does this happen

Bill Clinton collected $12 million for his memoirs.Hilary Clinton got $8 million for hers.
That's $20 million for the memories of two people, who for years have repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn't remember anything.

they are one and the same

Interesting. I have heard some people in the States - not black - say things such as "I have came". and "I have went".

Greetings from Germany, where it is very hot

Heiterkeit is a German noun that translates to cheerfulness, merriment, or amusement. It describes an upbeat, serene, and joyous mood or atmosphere

You were interested enough to post random shit about it without any information.

Do you want discussion or just want to make everyone else look up shit you whine about?

Rhetorical question, btw.

This seems like a lot of right wing grievances posted here(the first post looks like a Klansman posted it). You know that Josh Duggar(not a drag queen) is a sex offender? Also, you know a lot of right wing country singers fake their accents?
Also, Elliot Page(Canada's most famous Trans Man) is a trans guy, we all know(he is NOT a woman).

This happens when Democrat Educators substitute DEI for meritocracy.

I hear sentences without verbs. Communication is still mostly clear. Maybe I'll drop some verbs later as dialects blend.

Heiterkeit is giving a great example of American propaganda.

It doesn't matter if the story is true or not (it isn't-activists are pushing for it but it hasn't been considered by California's Board of Education). What matters in this piece of propaganda is two fold:

1. Make people angry over things that don't impact their life at all (let alone in a negative way). If schools taught Ebonics nobody's life would be negatively impacted by it. But because change scares old people and young people don't have political power, the first message behind the propaganda is, "The world is changing and you should be mad about it." This works especially well here, since crusty old white guys (the main target of this propaganda) don't know anything about Ebonics or most modern slang at all.

2. It reinforces narratives of white supremacy, which is essential for the US government to function. Teaching Ebonics is "bad" because it's "Black speak" The US government requires other groups to assimilate to whiteness, (and not just any whiteness, "high society whiteness" -sorry rednecks, you're not rich enough to be considered) and this propaganda is made to cater to that notion.

Tk;Dr getting people mad about stuff that doesn't negatively impact anyone is just a form of government control.

So, it's what a tiny group wants. Very unlikely to happen.

Even the idea feeds you addiction?

I seen...

Some of it is from other languages of people who settled in the States. Take the word hope. In English, we say "I hope ..." whereas in the American form it seems to be "Hopefully ...:". That comes from the German "Hofentlich " and they are not quite the same.

I seen isn't from another language, it's from ghetto dwellers who can't speak proper English.

Example: I seen him go...

I can forgive some bastardization of grammar but some I just cannot because so much of it is from just plain laziness. Like saying Stren instead of Strength.

You can say; String
You can say; String the
You can say; String th
You can say; Streng the
You can say; Streng th
And, finally, you can say; Strength

But, only if you work at it and so many choose to not do so because they're lazy. Eliza Doolittle would be appalled.

Teaching ebonics is bad because it is simply gramatically incorrect English. Like teaching ubbi-dubbi or piglatin; It is not a valid language. Although people do speak it as slang, and on that note I suppose it could be considered a "Regional dialect" but I believe that schools should teach gramatically correct English.

But the bottom line is, who cares. I am no longer in school, and what they teach kids over there in California won't affect me in the slightest because I don't live there. There are, as mentioned, more important issues facing the country right now.

How does this happen?
The short answer: it probably isn't happening. Right-wing memes like this almost always turn out to be false.

Nobody is teaching Ebonics. This is just another example of Republicans desperately trying to create “issues” to distract voters in the midterms.

COMMUNISTS!
EBONICS!

And of course they’re continuously circling back to …
IMMIGRANTS!
and TRANS!

So much dumb shit to distract from failing Trumponomics, the ongoing TrumpIran War, the murders of protesters, the ridiculous TrumpBallroom, and the Trumpstein Files.

Trust me, no one cares what you think.
