And you also can not have anything called "African American Studies" in any high scholl or University.

And you also can not have programs in schools specifically designed to help african American children transition from AAVE to standard English. 

I have been saying things like "often times" to explain the history of its use, never actually generalizing anyone. At no point did I accuse anyone of using it in a racist way, which is why I had to tell you multiple times to stop arguing straw men because you kept suggesting that I was "calling every white person a racist" when they used it. 

You, however, have made the blanket statement that "black culture promotes improper grammar" numerous times. 

If you are going to continue to outright refuse to acknowledge that I am not calling anyone racist and have repeatedly said that the point is that there is a troubling history of its use and we need to be aware of how community react to that, then we have nothing left to discuss.
