[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I repeat what the AA teacher said when we were told to "accept" Ebonics::These children will never get good jobs if we don't teach them to speak properly.[/quote]

I completely agree! But this is a loaded issue. It's something that should be addressed within the AA community.[/quote]

Yes it should be because:

1) all of the millions of black folk in america live in the same d*** community

2) all black folks accept the concept of "ebonics"

3) all black folks not only accept but speak in "ebonics"

4) white folks do not have and never use any type of slang, colloquialisms and at all times and in all the VARIOUS white communites speak PERFECT STANDARD ENGLISH

5) a lot of you are on some OLD BULL****  (HOW IS THAT FOR EBONICS??)[/quote]

That's not what I meant. Someone else wrote that there's no way for a white person to address this because it seems racist to do so. She went on to suggest having an AA professional broach the topic with another AA teacher. That seems reasonable to me. Of course I know that not all AA people speak this way. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. I wasn't trying to imply that all AA people speak this way.[/quote]
