DEA wants to hire Ebonics translators

[ShawnD1]

I think it's ridiculous how I have to talk like that to talk to some of my family members because they don't understand me when I use correct English. I hate it...

Bank: Sir, if you don't pay your bills, we will foreclose on the house
Idiot: What dat mean?
Bank : awesome dude you betta give me mah fuckin money or I will jack you

I wonder if the DEA/police had translators for jive back in the 80s?

I hear they will have job openings for hillbilly/redneck translators next.

One day I'm going to kill everybody who's not like me and live all alone in my own separate hell of empty sameness and just because I'm better than all of you.

Moonbeam Translation:
People should be tolerant of other peoples differences to make this a better world. Unless, of course, you are conservative, republican, christian - then I hate you.

It's the differences in people that make life worth living.

While it is true that people should be tolerant, they can't be so long as they hate themselves. They can't see the source of their own evil, the fact that they project their own feelings of worthlessness onto others so as to pretend that evil is out there instead of inside them. To be blind to ones own self hate is to make hate incurable. It is why those who want to love have to die, or more precisely discover their hearts were broken long ago. Only by suffering can you end your own suffering. The soul is forged by fire and quenching.

Yeah, the uppities are ruining everything. Jesus!

Wanting everyone to speak the same language so we can all cominicate directly with each other is being "uppity"?? Whatever dude. I can see why you're not concerned, most people can't understand you anyway.

 

[GuitarDaddy]

Don't be jackin my smack, dat be whack!

 

[Throckmorton]

Pretty funny that people have a problem with this. Criminals don't give a fuck if you think African American Vernacular isn't a dialect.

Guess what, Hawaii locals don't give a fuck if you think pidgin isn't a dialect either. Belief and wishes don't help me understand pidgin.

Would anyone take issue with hiring a translator to translate Jamaican creole or other Caribbean patois?

I was wondering when someone would post that clip from "Airplane"........classic movie......

So you think we should pass a law requiring drug dealers to speak proper English on the phone so we can understand their speech when we wiretap them?

The uppities are folk who insist on speaking in tongues, not like us good solid American talking white folk. The uppities are always trying to be different. It's a perversion I tell ya, I mean you.

You do get rather uppity every so often, but I still like ya, I mean you.

Gee, I hope I'm not getting too uppity disagreeing with you on this one.

Anybody who makes as much money as a drug dealer ought to be smart enough to speak several languages, no?

Besides, what do drug dealers have to do with average communication going on in a typical US town, business, etc??

I was going to answer these, but I can't tell if my sarcasm meter is broken or not..

You do realize that not all black people want to, do, or can speak Ebonics don't you? And going on about white people as if they are the problem exposes you for the racist that you are. So stop trippin' foo' shit's whack, feel me?

xj0hnx: You do realize that not all black people want to, do, or can speak Ebonics don't you?

M: Yeah, that's why they need the translators.

x: And going on about white people as if they are the problem exposes you for the racist that you are. So stop trippin' foo' shit's whack, feel me?

M: But we don't need a translator to know you're an idiot.

And we don't need a translator to know you are a bigoted racist.

 

[Throckmorton]

???

So now it's racist to recognize that a segment of the population speaks a dialect that is unintelligible to the rest of us without a translator? And it's right wingers playing the "political correctness race card"? Is this America or Bizarroworld?
