University Writing Center Rejected Proper English, Calling It “Linguistic White Supremacy”

By Selwyn Duke
The New American

There was a time when being a white supremacist meant something (for starters, that you were one in a million). Today, though, it appears that anyone can be a white supremacist. Why, all journalist Larry Elder had to do to become “the black face of white supremacy” was seek California’s governorship. And now all you need to do to become the linguistic face of white supremacy is uphold Standard American English (SAE).

That is, according to certain “intellectuals” — such as those at the Metropolitan State University of Denver’s (MSUD’s) Writing Center.

Yes, that’s right. Don’t dare tell students not to speak like a cross between Snoop Dogg and the rapist in the film Deliverance. Otherwise, you could be guilty of “anti-black linguistic racism.”

No, “Woke” Is Not Dead

Reporting on the story Monday, National Review (NR) wrote that MSUD’s writing center urged educators to dispense with SAE ...

... A civilization must have a common language spoken in a common way to be as united as possible.

In our civilization, this is called Standard American English. And, no, you don’t get to rejigger it based on some cock-and-bull new theory conjured up last Thursday.

What’s more, since this is our (necessary) standard, how we speak is integral to our self-presentation. It influences how others judge us.

So you can tell a black student to reject “linguistic white supremacy.” But you’ll be seriously handicapping him with respect to getting good employment and functioning in intellectual arenas. Note here, too, that English isn’t just our language. It’s the international language of business — not, though, in the Ebonics form. ......
