teach them how to speak your native or cultural background language after your family migrated to another country?

i was speaking to a haitian chick.
chick 1. she speaks creole and english
chick 2. her sister speaks creole, english and spanish.

both chicks grew up in the states but was born in haiti.

chick 2, feels its important to teach her children where they came from and their native language.
chick 1, feels they in america and no need to teach her child to speak creole.

yet they both speak creole to each other and with their family.

does a parent owe it to their child to teach them the language(s) they speak ,and/or native language?

Yea of course. The rule is to pass down culture to keep it alive. I wish i knew another language.

Didnt we?

 

[GNS]

Spanish isn't the Native language of the land. IDK why people are so proud and protective of their colonial masters' tongue.

Well u know how your people love claiming their european-ness

That was an orchestrated effort by a force that succeeded in defeating Africans. The fact that as descendants we never regained that is evidence of us being conquered. Part of the reason for our trash culture.

When you have a choice and still have your roots, spreading it to the next generation is crucial. No immigrant should take on to themselves what happened to black Americans. To do so willingly just makes you the "coon" of your people. But if you're fine with being such a despicable person, so be it.

People assimilating to the point where you value the proximity to whiteness rather than your culture/ethnicity /race and all the things that make up your identity.. just to become a nondescript

'owe' is the wrong word but if I had one I'd feel it was important, sure.

what word would you use?
i say "owe" because its a parents moral obligation to the child to prepare them for life and understanding of their past.

I think the more languages someone knows, the better. a language linked to their heritage, even better. owe implies the parent would fail by not doing so though. 'it's important to' is what I would use.

so you wouldnt call it failing?
if a parent knowingly and purposely does not give their child all the tools they have readily available...is that not failing....almost sabotaging them?

we as parents should always give all we can to make our children better with the knowledge we accumulate during our life experiences so they wont have to make the same mistakes and can start better than we did in order for them to go further than we did.

anything less is just selfish.

but thats my opinion

 

[Kzzl]

Lol what?

What part are you confused about?

I dont think folks knowing a language that was forced on their folks is that bad. Same reason latinos dont speak indian languages is the same reason we dont. I don't call it cooning.

It's bad in the sense that you are now under the culture that dominated yours. In the case of being born into it generations later, you're right, it's not out right cooning.

For an immigrant it's usually different. Parents, grandparents, somewhere there's immediate access to their indigenous language. So to dismiss it in favor of whatever white society tells you I would consider cooning.

Except it's not dismissing when no one fucking knows the native language except indigenous tribes. You said immediate access. My grandparents spoke Spanish. My great-grandparents spoke Spanish. But you got it doe lol. Dismissing it for white society
