The sign appears to be proper ebonics. If it were in Spanish would the Mexicans be offended?

Just day before yesterday I received an E-mail that was filled with what the sender called y"all bonics. It was bubba speak, and it did not offend my white southern sensibilities at all. Not only was it funny, it pretty much conformed to the way I remember people speaking as I was growing up in western Kentucky.

I would split my sides if blacks would talk like that and try to make fun of us.
