History of Ebonics...
.
It is based on
stupidity - not ignorance.
Ignorance would just be giving them another
excuse.
I could see a group of black slaves claiming ignorance from lack of a proper education...but I don't think even they spoke Ebonics.
Black kids in my very integrated highschool didn't speak Ebonics - for the most part.
Don't you feel that blacks took a big step backward? You just go on making excuses and blacks will go on feeling discriminated against. Is it any wonder?
What is the
likes of me?
I consider my self just like you. I'm a married woman, working at a very hard but rewarding job and I'm raising a child. I have friends of all shapes, sizes, colors and religions.
I think people are trying to make a point when they use Ebonics with you. I have only done that once that I can think of. If you can't take the point or the heat then get out of the kitchen.
