Re: Glo Gang Rapper Capo Has Been Shot Dead in Chicago
How can you recommend to apply pressure and stop the bleeding? I can understand a tourniquet on the leg, but, on a back wound? Come on...

Re: Glo Gang Rapper Capo Has Been Shot Dead in Chicago
Just to clear something up about this kind of English. You do realize that Black Americans as a culture have their own form of language known as Black English (otherwise known as Ebonics)? This is no joke. You can actually find various forms of pidgin English around the world. Western Caribbean Creole using English as the base language for example. People might find the language as amusing or as the basis for ridicule, but the language actually reflects the culture and the times that they were developed. But let me point out; however, that many culturally amusing American English expressions have been borrowed from Black English. The words of "groove" and "funk" could be examples. So, yes. Black Americans do live in a "proper" English speaking society, but they have their own cultural mannerisms and speaking within their culture that is in fact grammatically correct in the pidgin language. |
