Here is a brief conversation that I had with some tard from TheFacebook. If you know her Toya I'm sorry but she is a tard.
=============================================

Jamie:
I hate to bother you, since you're so busy and all, but I'm very disappointed in you. You responded the intro paragraph of a group I am a proud member of and it seems all you took from it was a few grammatical errors. "You people" are the reason there is so much racial tension on LSU's campus. I would surely appreciate it if you read the paragraph over, and hopefully you have a soul and take a little more from the writing than grammar. P.S. I ain't got no care for what you thank bout my gramer. Jus in kase you was wonderin, but maybe (this is me bringing race into things, which I'm sure you know we like to do) slang or incorrect grammar wouldn't be so deeply inbedded in our unconcious if our ancestors had proper teaching, or any at all, on the usage of correct grammar.
=========================================

Brandon:
Dear Jamie,
I am a bit insulted that you would even mention race as a factor in grammatical problems. Race has nothing to do with being able to communicate properly. Colloquialisms are fine and dandy in the appropriate places. But a group referencing the difficulties of college is hard to take seriously when the leader doesn't use grammar becoming a college student. Quite honestly, it reflects poorly on the group as a whole. The point of this whole exercise, higher education, is to become better educated. But how can one grasp the concepts and techniques taught as such institutions if they have not acquired a reasonable mastership of the prerequisite skills? I’m sorry that the guy is having trouble in college but to say that race has anything to do with it is a cop-out and a bad one at that. If you want to do something within reason, you can. It only takes an ounce of initiative and some persistence. A relative comprehension of ones native language is not an unachievable goal, especially if that person hopes to earn a degree from an institute of higher learning. I’m sorry if you thought I was being a bigot (you could not be farther from the truth in that allegation) by pointing out the grammatical errors in a group for college students, but they simply should not exist.
Sincerely,
Brandon Ellis

Now maybe you are wondering just what in the hell sparked her to send me a fiery indictment such as she did. Be that the case, have a look at the groups intro paragraph and my subsequent message.
============================================
This group if for people that has seen much and learned much through tears, laughs, or whatever. This is for those who though they're close to the edge they aren't trying to give up. This is for the people who wasn't born with a platinum spoon in their mouth. Life is hard but the strong find a way to make it work whether that be through being a Christian, a businessman, an undercover hustla(I see ya'll out there), or a combination of them all. We're just trying to make a quarter out of two pennies. Don't worry ya'll. We're going to make it.

Harry Turner wrote at 8:43pm August 2nd, 2005:
The message board is for people to discuss topics, not assholes to discuss grammer. This is a facebook group not a damn english course. I don't have the patience or time to deal with assholes who play on message board just for the hell of it. Take a break to brainstorm and come back when something DON'T hit you.
=========================================
Maybe I'm just easily amused, but that made me chuckle quite a bit.

Ok..this isn't supposed to show a certain race is poor in grammar. I have experienced that many times Ostrya because people love to add tension by bringing race into it, when that is not the point that most of us are conveying at all.

I've never noticed any racial tension on campus.
Of course, most of the time, people of the same color tend to hang out with their own colors. It's because they have similar interests.
EDIT: I learned that poverty is the main cause for separation of skin colors. Like Romans referring to uncivilized people as "barbarians". So I take back my comment.

Well I only noticed the guy's shitty grammar, not the color of his skin. Well not until that chick brought it up. I found it funny that she did.
