Oh, so if I say I prefer English to be written properly, I’m only speaking about white Americans?
Why do you think English is only a language for white people?

The first thing a racist liar does is deflect.

Tell me, what kind of English do you prefer?

The point is you did not need to put the comma in there. Try to follow along Rob.

No, that was not your point at all.
Your point was that the word “and” could be left out with the use of the comma.
It says so right here.

So, go ahead. Leave out the word “and”. Don’t backpedal now.

Denying a culture's vernacular as incorrect or wrong sounds pretty racist to me...

Not even close Rob. I told you that a comma is used in place of the word AND. I did not tell you to remove the word and. Nice try fella. A person with half a brain would remove the comma. You have no brain so here we are.

I prefer the English we use that follows the traditions and rules in place for the last 75 years or so.
Traditional grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, words.

Ah so other races and cultures be damned as long as white Rob gets his preferred punctuation...

So, you think the English language should be modified to be inclusive of other languages?
Cool. I suppose you support having all textbooks include every language, and teachers having to be fluent in every language so their students don’t need to speak English here?

The English language has been constantly modified since inception...but you go ahead and hate on how people of color use it...that's totally not racist
