I’d bet good money that the speaker of this Ebonics gibberish was a black student. How else could one get away with using that word in public?

Hacking Traditional College Debate's White Privilege (gag) Problem -- more insight into the competition. It raises interesting points (i.e., traditional debaters have considered setting up an alternative "traditional only" debate, but when it was found that it was largely WHITE, there were howls of protest. This from those who propose to set up their "own" black basketball league.

"Critics of the new approach allege that students don’t necessarily have to develop high-level research skills or marshal evidence from published scholarship. They also might not need to have the intellectual acuity required for arguing both sides of a resolution. These skills—together with a non-confrontational presentation style—are considered crucial for success in fields like law and business."

As you said, common core.
