I'm quite interested to find out in the meantime whether, when you, your son (if he exists), and the entire family went to meet his biological mother, you spoke to this African American woman in this sort of dialect?

Even were I black I would not have done it. Vast numbers of Blacks themselves are very formal when initially meeting. But after getting to know one another, it would not be odd to hear one endearingly say to another "you betta git outta heah and leeve me 'lone." Of course the person doesn't mean this at all. But you will not hear this in an initial meeting. The context does not permit it. You are just being dishonest, refusing to see the complexity that I have placed right under your wicked nose in the form of this language. You refuse to see it because you are a racist and you are projecting your racism upon me.

It is an epidemic from which both you and Poet suffer. Indeed, very many leftists suffer it, as well as conservatives. But leftists suffer it most of all.

Did your son? Did each person in your family, from time to time, break out into this sort of dialect, speaking to your son's biological mother?

See above. Surely, had we a good deal of time to grow close to her and overcome the initial awkwardness of our meeting, we would have enjoyed some informal celebration. But it takes a great deal of time between blacks and whites because the two groups bring to their initial exchanges a lot of hangups due to an appalling history. Once the thing gets out, its just fine.

Yo, Mama. (grin) My church be doin some aMAYzin’ mess in da hood right friggin’ nah!...

Once again. You are just being dishonest. I would not use that sort of language in a friendly setting because it was designed for attack. You ought not be so intellectually corrupt.

I am also very interested in your answer to these questions, which you have evaded:

I didn't evade a thing. I simply had to leave off a bit. I answered the questions both here and in another post - and very nicely, if I do say so myself.
