It does involve setting the ebonics aside and reserving it for use when one is around one’s friends and family.
I had a black psychologist tell me he does just that, and recommends it.
I saw this when we lived in Hawaii. The haoles who were born and raised there spoke perfect English in business situations. But when around their old friends and other locals, their pidgin was perfect, too.
I wonder if Hebonics (see Joan Rivers) helps or deters employment?
But, more seriously, that not real Ebonics … or if it is it’s very mild.
About like a Southerner using y’all.
This is Ebonics … for comedic effect … from the movie Mo’ Money:
“Your Honor, Allow me to fumigate my wisdom, on the defendant. Because he has been incarcerated in the propaganda of the prison structure on the issue of the court thing, a yes. And I must say, that is has been a real didactic and pragmatic experience for the young brother as you can see from the look on his face. Can I get a witness? Ohh yess Lord! And I must say that both physically and geographically, if he be sent to the bowels of the communtiy, I say if he be sent to the bowels of the community, huh the manifestation will be much to much for him to resign... I rest my scrodum....”
