NP Ebonics (was It ain't only Rock & Roll, it's Jazz too)

Not me. I'm not offended by anything MalignD said
about me. 

There is no shame in being gay. 

I'm not neurotic. 


I've no doubt that it was his intention to offend me,
but I'm not offended. As I see it, MalignD is playing
his usual role. 

There is no doubt that MalignD put gay and neurotic
together not because he's a bigot (He may be) but
because it's a tactic, another ploy. 

MalignD wears a fake mask of logic. He's a sniper. He
sits on his wooden horse peering through his narrow
view waiting for fallacies. He is a very crafty
internet chat room player. He uses ad hominem, often
in a subtle way that provides him cover when he's
called on it. 

The use of the "gay" bashing she/he/it tactic and the
"this guy is a neurotic queer"  or is "unhinged in
some psycho-sexual way"  attack when  losing an
argument is common enough on the internet and quite
common on this list.  After the opposition refuses to
debate the topic because of the personal attacks and
the ploys (these can go so far as to accuse the other
person of being a dangerous lunatic who is threatening
 them and their family) the opponent is then accused
of being a sissy and running away. 

Resolved that the Board of Education officially
recognizes the existence, and the cultural and
historical bases Of West and Niger-Congo African
Language Systems, and each language as the
predominantly primary language of African-American
students ... Be It Further Resolved that the
superintendent in conjunction with her staff shall
immediately devise and implement the best possible
academic program for imparting instruction to
African-American students in their primary language
for the combined purpose of maintaining the legitimacy
and richness of such language whether it is known as
"Ebonics," "African LAnguage Systems," "Pan-African
Communication Behaviors," or other descripion, and to
facilitate their acquisition and mastery of English
language skills. (Oakland, California School Board
Resolution, 1998). 

See, when you lambast the home language that kids
bring to school, you ain jes dissen dem, you talkin
bout they Mommas! 

MlaignD's Momma, she very pretty
wit a meatball on her titty
and some ham and eggs between her legs
His moms be very pretty.
