Black English

I think I am going to side with June Jordan on this one, I felt like he/she/it had a great idea with the Black English and the other class. I liked this one because it shows that english isnt really proper to say its a language. I'd say we speak American now, and Black English is just another accent of the American language. Sympathy grew in me when Willie stopped showing up to class, his brother dying and then nobody being able to do anything about it. I didn't really understand what that had to do with Black English except that Willie was all about that class. I thought of what the police did was worng and racist but i still didnt see what a police man killing a black guy had to do with Black English. But it was a good story/essay thing.
