Ali Hasan a small business owner in Colorado has announced that he is running for Colorado State Treasurer as a Republican in the 2010 election.

Now there is sounding educated, and sounding ghetto; that is describing a state of being and education level in association with speech patterns. But speech patterns are inaccurately given race equivalents. This always annoyed me growing up… people insisting I “talked white”. No, I never “talked white”; I paid attention in class and made an effort to always speak properly. I didn’t do good in my classes, I did well in my classes.

As you can probably tell this is a pet peeve of mine. I am always being shot dirty looks from family members annoyed at my need to correct their grammar. In my mind I am doing them a favor…. They just think I have bad unintentional habit of being condescending. Now I do not speak perfectly all the time… I usually loose all propriety when I am angry.

But speaking properly gives an indication of a better educational background. It means people will be more likely to take you seriously. It often means better job opportunities and even better pay. Barack Obama is an educated man and he makes an effort to sound that way. He is the President for crying out loud… he should speak properly! The idea that we would ever make a direct link between speech and race is absurd and frankly racist in nature.
