Everyone should look down on ebonics
I know but sometimes you can tell that it's racism rather than constructive criticism. And when people make posts about EBT and welfare it usually seems that they're indirectly talking about black people.
News to me, so I read some articles and a big Coli thread about it today.
So he's basically the libertarian "Why can't I say ****** without consenquences?!" type. How disappointing.
And I just paid to see Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. The layers this news adds to the movie.

I don't have those sort of people on my FB. I only add people I know personally, and all my friends and acquaintances are progressive. I don't even see conservative posts and most of them are #FreePalestine at the moment, with the exception of 2-3 jews, and they're neutral and don't like whats going on from either sides. Your friends are a reflection of you.
many "progressive" whites are racists. don't sleep.

Nikka, you act as if the way we speak was divinely ordained.
Every language is a b*stardized variant of some earlier language or form of communication. Using European tradition to ridicule the way a large percentage of your own people communicate is c00n logic, breh.

I dont know anyone that speaks in ebonics and we're not speaking ebonics right now. maybe your people speak dumb, but mine doesn't. We speak slang, not to be mistaken as a completely different intangible format of words to justify lack of schooling, thus calling it a new language.Nikka, you act as if the way we speak was divinely ordained.

We talkin' bout ebonics, breh. You even know all what ebonics entails? They got a whole wiki bout it.

I ain't met one person, white, black, or otherwise, who doesn't speak in a way that at least sometimes matches styles particular to "African American vernacular".

If thats the case no one has stated what makes ebonics different from slang and accent south of the dixon. People just latch on to the word ebonics because someone said 'thats how black people talk' but no one has defined or given an example of an ebonics sentence or grammar. even in the link there's zero examples or a standard which one can point at to being ebonics, yet here you are defending it as if its actually a legit language/dialect with set grammatical guidelines.Ain't no c00nin' permitted outchea, breh, ya betta reckonize.

if you said it was jive talk, fair enough, but most black people stop talking in jive a long time ago, and I already tried to bring it back and failed.

I ain't defining it, the wiki is defining it. I even put "African American vernacular" in quote.
So my question is...why look down on people who speak "ebonics" when you can't even say what "ebonics" is? To white people, ebonics is slang.
I know plenty of educated people who don't perfectly follow the rules of grammar, so why the hell are people attacking this intangible ebonics? Is it a racial thing?

I don't follow wiki links. I can edit it right now to call it white vernacular.I ain't defining it, the wiki is defining it. I even put "African American vernacular" in quote.

trying to force this on our education system is insane. It's like having Jive talk in school. Language evolves naturally, but you must first realize why an AA vernacular exists in the first place, and its primarily due to lack of education. Not natural evolution through mixtures of dialect, accents and migration. Slang however does. The argument is that the use of the term does more to hinder black academic achievement than to help it, in that considering AAVE to be a completely different language from English serves only to widen the perceived divide between whites and blacks in the United States
