[Calvin Locke]

"Experts" tell us that ebonics is three things: 1) an African language that is genetically passed on among blacks;

And where on the chromosome bees that gene?

Vague recollections of Psych 1. But, to the best of my memory:

Frederick the Great wanted to find out what the "natural" language of humans was - French or German,
or heaven forbid, English. Had a couple of babies isolated from all language, going so far as to remove
the tongues from the nannies. Years pass...

Naturally, ole' Fred got what he didn't expect: Ebonics, I mean gibberish.

More nuture than nature, I surmise.

I think the debate was on which language was the true primal language of man, whether it was Hebrew or Latin, or other some such language.
