I don’t know how I would react if he went off on vernacular speech. I think it would be lamebrained of him to do such a long spiel as he did yesterday. But Ebonics you can understand and mocking it is trying to make yourself look cool. That isn’t what happened yesterday. He thought he was being funny, but he wasn’t. He stooped to a child’s level.
