"I understand code switching - I do it when I speak to my parents, who speak in mostly broken English (they're foreign-born, English as a secondary language). The issue is when people get indignant when they self-elect to consistently use AAVE regardless of their environment or situation. That's not a "race" thing which you can't control. That's a explicit decision to disadvantage yourself in the eyes of others. "Race" is a protected class. "Stupid" isn't." - Dossy Shiobara

Don't get all indignant when they do." - Dossy Shiobara

"Winston Churchill once predicted that it would be possible to grow chicken breasts and wings more efficiently without having to keep an actual chicken.

"Wonderfully small, the Multimedia Memory Card Reader & Writer ExpressCard/34 inserts flush inside your MacBook Pro or Windows notebook's ExpressCard slot so you can store it there when it's not in use. Its ingenious design enables it to accept all the compatible memory cards through a single slot--just push the card in. When you're done transferring files to or from the memory card, just push it in further, and it pops out." - Dossy Shiobara
