In exasperation, Kay explained to us that the child now says 'Please' and 'Ma'am' and excuses himself when he needs to interrupt a conversation, in the babymama's words, acting white. Kay is trying to teach the child some home training and this hoodrat of a babymama is trying to teach the child to stay ignorant. Shame.....

That's horrible. People share this sentiment on the college level too, though. I am very well spoken, but when I was an undergrad, I had several people look at me funny when I pronounced words correctly. I'm like "Are you serious? Why are you here if you want to remain ignorant?"
