The other day I was walking down the street and a small gang of young thugs were walking towards me, talking street lingo. One says, "Man, I am voting clark." And I thought, 'Wow, am I ever out of the loop. I have no idea what that means.' Then another chides him, and the first repeats, "I am so voting Joe Clark."
It's election time in Canada, and Joe Clark is the leader of the Conservative Party. What followed was an in-depth political discussion in ebonics. It made my heart glad. I had underestimated these kids. I wonder what the "Founding Fathers" think, because I know you don't have any Canadian politicians to comment.
