I'm shocked at you $0.02 as you usually are not narrow minded.

Read Bill Cosby's "pound cake speech." He calls Ebonics crap. I'm with Dr. Cosby on this one. Here's a snippet of the speech:
--snip--
It can’t speak English. It doesn’t want to speak English. I can’t even talk the way these people talk. “Why you ain’t where you is go, ra,” I don’t know who these people are. And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk (laughter). Then I heard the father talk. This is all in the house. You used to talk a certain way on the corner and you got into the house and switched to English. Everybody knows it’s important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can’t land a plane with “why you ain’t…” You can’t be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. There is no Bible that has that kind of language.

I think Chinese will be the cutting edge language of the future. And I think I will be screwed, because I bet it isn't easy to learn.

Dumbing down the language may be popular among our slothful members, but the people who will sign your paycheck will think you're a moron and you'll never advance.
BTW, I like the way you're now showing your true colors.

Ebonics is not cutting edge it's the destruction of language and intelligence.
