why do people hate and gripe the ebonic language? look at the history blacks slaves didnt know how to speak properly and couldnt read and if they did they were executed. ebonics has evolved from slave talk to modern ghetto slang. white people never wanted us to learn or talk properly and now all of a sudden you expect every black person to know the dictionary by heart. i love speakin ebonics because we made it our own so **** the english language it did nothing but kill us blacks.

It's not that people hate it... it's more like people don't understand it. Most people in America speak english and when they hear ebonics, all they hear is english with a slew of incorrect grammar. They have a hard time comprehending what you're saying which can be frustrating. It's like me trying to speak to you in Cantonese-- you wouldn't be able to understand. It's okay to speak ebonics with your friends, but in more formal situations, it's important to speak english.

Oh, this is cute. Where, pray tell, did you learn to speak such great english Mr. Mikey Mike? Ebonics is part of our culture as it has been for years. Some people began to emulate it, that's a threat to society. What's the best defense against a threat? Eradicate it or encapsulate it. So, Mr. Mickey Mike is from the school of eradication. I've got news for you, it's way too late for that. So the other defense was chosen, encapsulate it. Make it less than, not so cool, not so desireable. I've got news for them, it's too late for that as well. I know as well as any other 'ebonic', we'll keep it in the family and enjoy it at our own leisure. If you have to learn it, it ain't worth it! So step off! But one more thing - I love the english language, it's mine to do with as I please, and the more I know about it the better I am at it than many of those who think I should only speak and learn ebonics. That makes me smile inside whenever I say something and see in their eye's, they don't understand. They better go get that dictionary and see I just insulted them big time. So, I'll take 'em both.

people tend to look down on something they have a hard time understanding. I think the Ebonics language should be spoken for fun when you are hanging with your friends & family but not when going on a job interview because chances are you will not get hired. have a good nite

Oh, I hate it. I'm black, and I used to get picked on at all times considering that while I talked effectively, and evidently, mentioned my phrases. My black peers continually stated that I talked white. What's that meant to intend? It was once like they had been announcing that black humans did not know the way to talk. When I'm at the telephone a few of my white peers say I sound white too. It makes me mad, considering that Ignorant does not are available in one colour. I do not you have to be any form of colour, I simply you have to be me and that is how I was once raised. Ghettos also are defined as an city subject inhabited through a precise ethnic/racial populace. Ghettos listed here are extra identified as being populated with black humans, so plenty of matters that we do or pay attention to right here, is labeled as being "ghetto". Like, the form of track we pay attention to, or if we're rather loud in public that mite be regarded "ghetto" additionally.

I think is THE language now, I hear people here in the U.S that are not African American talking ebonics all the time, so if anything you should be proud of that...

Ebonics is nothing but an excuse to be an idiot, if you can't learn a language properly move to a different country.
