African American English Post 7

Da other day I was walking down da street tinking about Jackson one of ma old frend. Den one dey he sayd he didnt wana be frends wit me anymore. Ay was sad for and felt bad for a long tyme. Den ah turned da corner and seen him. Ah tald him dat ah was da new manager at da store, and den he sayd good job. He told me he was workin hard at his job, and dat he was sorry dat he havent talked to me in ah while. We sad dat we need to get togather sooner den later. We shook hands den left.

I think that AAE children should have the same chances and every other person in the U.S. They should get all the same perks as the esl kids do. Just because the speak a different form of english doesn't mean that they are dumb. I actually think it is pretty smart that they came up with their own form of english. Many people think that if its a different dialect or sounds different then they must be dumb or something. We need to invest in more tools in the children and dont look down on people that are different from you and I.
