I give props to Bill for having balls. On the other hand, I live in a Residence Hall (P.C. for "dorm")with a very hetrogenous make up (some-what near equal number of blacks, whites, and asians) and have noticed many of the african americans can express them self quite nicley. In fact, these students can have a much firmer grasp of the english language than many, dare I say most, of the people I grew up with in the (hick) town of Leander, Texas (20 or so miles north of Austin, POP. around 4000(rough estimate)).
Yes, you can argue that the people I live with are in a different socioeconomic class than african americans in the "ghetto". Nevertheless, I know many white people that would rival the "ghetto" in terms of poor english.
I'm white btw.
