OMG Lucem has hacked Frown's account!

Ja, how dare I try to be understanding of other people instead of gawking.

You should be ashamed tbh

Middle class white people shaming. Tsk tsk.

Really reaching here bro, like always...

It's also interesting that Frown continues to assume you're being racist without you showing any sign of it. When he instigates and tries to initiate a flame war it's ok. I forgot that he gets away with it.

Defending racists now, are we? Yikes, Kiiii.

I don't see how you can take what he said as racist. I don't think he even mentioned race once. You're the one that implied it first.

I've never seen him post about black culture in anything but a mocking, condescending attitude. Could be more of a cultural bias than a racist one, but it really isn't a stretch tbh.

I'm just gonna link to David Foster Wallace's essay/review of the book "A Dictionary Of Modern American Usage". It touches upon the ethics of dictating proper usage vs how lower class people use language. I'll link two versions, so which ever you find more readable:

It's a good read, but long. I read it myself 1-2 years ago in one of the collections I've got of his writings.

So you just assume racism? Again all he said was half literate. Not half literate because they're black. But at least you're taking back what you said. There's a first time for anything.

Nope. I spot it based on people's behaviour.

If Donny Trump assumed a black person was half literate, what would you think?
