I get tired of people saying I speak well. What they mean is that I speak well for a BLACK girl.  I speak well because Momma dont play that in her house.

That's why I make sure that my daughter learns how to speak properly. When she says something that is grammatically incorrect, I ask her if that's the proper way to say it, and immediately she corrects herself. I feel proud when people tell me that she speaks so well, but then again, if she is in school and is receiving training at home, how else is she supposed to speak????
