The Department of Justice is seeking to hire linguists
I was watching a crime documentary on television yesterday and the Black's ebonics were so thick there had to be subtitles added.

In 20 years, the DOJ will be hiring experts to figure out what Rotary Club and Chamber of Commerce members are saying.

I would think that every year they would have to go to a conference to receive the latest updates in jive translation. Would love to be in one of those conference classes. It would be a hoot!! Barbara Billingsley could be the conference teacher because as we all know from Airplane, she speaks jive!! And yes, she’s still alive..

ever-changing and highly localized slang of the urban streets. You are correct of course, all languages evolve but usually it's a very slow process. Last years gangsters wouldn't know what the hell this years gangsters were talking about. Changing cities, they have to learn a new language.

I wish they had a link to the actual DoJ mention of “black English.” I don’t know who this Smoking Gun is, or what their level of accuracy is.
