Minor quibble. "Ebonics" is slang term for a dialect most academics call "Black American English." Its root is the same as the word "ebony" (hence "black"). Eu- is the Greek root meaning "good" (i.e. Eugenics = "good genes"), so you basically called it "good language," which I would argue it certainly isn't...
