In defense of Cash78mere, I honestly took that sentence to mean, "It's one thing not to know correct grammar, but it's quite another to be intentionally ignorant." And I agree wholeheartedly with that statement. In high school, certain of my African American classmates were given no end of crap by other African Americans for speaking "like whites." The latter group was intentionally ignorant of English grammar. Some of them went even so far as to accuse their peers who spoke proper English of "trying to be white."
Such a sordid state of affairs...
I should really read that book. I'll be taking Multicultural Education in the spring.
