Didn’t we already cover this in popular culture?
“Excuse me, stewardess. Stewardess? I think I can help, I speak Jive.”
Hint: It's not the Conservatives doing this.
I agree, they shouldn’t teach “Bad English” and they shouldn’t teach “bad Latin” aka French, Spanish, Italian, or Romanian...
In the lower middle class/lower class burgs in the NYC area, it is common for Latinos, Middle Easterners, Bangladeshis, and poor white kids to speak ebonics. Makes them seem, authentic, son. (BTW: WTF is up with everyone calling somebody “son” in ghettoese anyway?).
I’d say this is amazing but it’s not. Or should I say “it ain’t, fo’ sho yo!”
This is one of my wifes pet-peves. She is a middle school teacher and a student once told her “I axed Mrs. Smith if it was ok” My wife replied, “You axed Mrs. Smith? Oh my, Is she ok?”
Look like dey be a cruck park did in da skreet in at pitcher foo.
Erick Schwartz (aka Smooth E or The Surburban Homeboy) is an excellent example ebonically speaking.

Parental relationships can be pretty confusing when over 80% of the childbirths are out of wedlock. Calling everyone "son" is probably just an attempt to be on the safe side.
“Thankfully, Maurice teaches 18 ways to say “money” in Black English: Book, bread, cake, cash, cheddar, cheese, chump change, coins, crumbs, dough, eagle, fitty, green, jingle, loot, moola, scrilla, and Benjamin.”
Going by the “unnecessary s” plural rule, shouldn’t it be “coin” and “crumb”?
I have whites even say axed instead of asked. But I say this comes because most teachers don’t correct students when they use bad grammar. Kudos to your wife that she does
For sixty years or more, the left has done everything it could think of to destroy the black race. The reason, of course, has been the creation of democrat voters and utter dependency upon Big Brother. But blacks have been unable to breed quickly enough to guarantee the perpetual re-election of dems, so Mexicans have become the “new” black race.
Makes them so easy to catch after they commit a crime.
