If that's how you speak all the time, then do your thing. But we all know that Hillary doesn't talk that way. And I find it insulting that she feels that she can't speak proper English when dealing with blacks. Like were too damn ignorant to understand what she's saying.

I get pis*sed, because I don't speak it, I could if I wanted, but I prefer proper American english.... it is nice to know that they are multi-lingual though. But I feel that people dumbing themselves down, speaking in laymans is insulting, like they have to get on a lower level to converse with the average black person. But I have to do this sometimes myself, where I work, I have to be able to communicate with a diversity of people and I can usually tell from looking at them how adept in language they are...Its kind of shocking that Hillary speaks ebonics, did she take a class? Or hang out in the ghetto?

Yes, I get VERY offended because I don't speak Ebonics and there are many Blacks that don't either.

as far as possible we should speak a language understood by the audience... or else get a translator to translate what is spoken
