See the inadequacy of your own education? Don't you wish your grade school teachers way back when taught you this valuable language?
Where's that line from Airplane about speaking Jive?
A radio news spot on this yesterday mentioned that ebonics represented a unique combination of American english and African language roots. WTF? The average American-born inner city kid speaking ebonics has about as much appreciation for his/her African roots (linguisitically-speaking) as I do mine.
