The fact of the matter is that Ebonics, such as it is, is the language of the underclass. There is no more certain way to ensure that a person remains in this underclass than to teach them to communicate in Ebonics.

At the risk of being offered tons of tin foil, it sure sounds like that's the entire plan.

You won't get any argument from me. Parents have been trying to keep their kids down on the farm since the first cave-man family discovered there was another cave-man family that lived on the other side of the hill. Ebonics is a tool used to limit the options of the younger generation to keep them from assimilating into "white" culture. It is child abuse, plain and simple.
