March 1, 2024 LAWLESS EDUCATION DIS OR DAT THIS OR THAT Those words can determine the success or failure of many Black Americans. As most of us know, people are judged by the language that they use. That is human nature. Proper language usage is a form of lawful behavior, and I will show you how. For example, in sports, baseball for example, we know that if you get three strikes, then you are out. In professional basketball, if you get six fouls, then you are disqualified from the game. Laws and rules apply, and have consequences. More subtly so, and not fully enforced, disobedience of the laws of language can have harsh, and generational consequences. Saying " dis ", instead of " this ", or saying " dat ", instead of " that ", I submit, is creating generation after generation of economical failures in the Black community. When Blacks who choose to use improper English apply for employment in the marketplace, they are likely interviewed by those that have obeyed the laws of language, because to do otherwise, they may place those in higher management at a financial risk. I will explain. Those in charge are usually charged with communicating with upper management, their customers, and their lower ranking employees. It is important that there is message/language synchronicity, in order to have mutual understanding that will lead to monetary success for all. Typically, middle management is tasked with onboarding applicants who will enhance the company profits and profile. That likely includes hiring folks with attention to detail, especially in a litigious environment. Lawless language, such as " dis " and " dat " could cause disruptions in the workplace and customer interface. It's just. Ain't. Right. Lazy language usage could be a precursor to a lousy work ethic. Let's think it through. Folks who are undereducated, or lawlessly educated, as we say, receive lesser paying jobs, which result in lessened opportunities at home ownership. Taxes drawn from home ownership determine the level of services that municipalities provide to their constituents. Obviously, a greater tax base, ie. home owners, creates better schools, better infrastructure, greater police and fire services, etc. This stability usually induces greater sales and service entities to open new stores and shops in these stabilized areas. Think about it. Better food options often lead to healthier consumption situations for citizens, which leads to better and more affordable health care. Food deserts do not. I would like to see Black folk place a greater emphasis on cleaning up language skills at an early age. I would also like to see a study done on the repercussions of the information that I have indicated above. Jarvis William Peay
