Bloggers
I’ve spent the past few hours reading other blogs on bloggers.com. It’s really amazing!
What amazes me is the fact that most of these bloggers have very little command of the English language. Why write, when you can not write? How can someone post a blog that is written so poorly? I will assume that they have no self respect and don’t have a care in the world about the people that may be reading their blog.
I am not the most articulate person and God knows that I do not have the greatest command of the English language. However, I can put together a comprehensible sentence and paragraph. I learned how to do this in the fifth grade. And then I honed these skills in High School and later in College.
What honks me off the most is the use of “Ebonic Phrases” by middle class whites. If you are Black and grew up in the ghetto, that’s your language. You may be able to speak proper English, but when you are with your homeboys, you speak Ebonics. However, if you are not a person that was being nurtured in that environment, the attempt to communicate to others in a language which is not your own, is futile. If I sound like a bigot, perhaps I am. I do have several good friends of color and they speak and write English as well as, if not better than, I do.
The point here is that it is not a racial thing. Perhaps, it’s the Rap and Hip-Hop Music that has influenced and guided the North American youth to speak and write Ebonics rather than English. This really bothers me. The lack of the ability to speak, write and comprehend the English language is detrimental to our society as a whole, regardless of race or nationality.
As I have now well proven, any idiot can post a blog. But it takes a special idiot to post a blog that is comprehensible. Unfortunately there are not too many special idiots with blogging skills.

Hello Zazz,
Still thinking that writing about your escapades in Asmara in the 60s would be a great read for all generations ...
go for it, what've you got to lose my friend?
peace,
Val
