Yes. I am sure there are many Black surgeons who say:

Yo.Ho. Han me dat blade I be cutting dis ol groobedy thang here. No, Ho. Not dat groobedy thang dis here groobedy mofo thang. Oh S**T! Now dey be suin' us. I'll be makin sho dey sue yo too, yo ole honky ho, yo be a nurse den I be de King of Sweden.

One can only hope that it will be a proponent of Ebonics on de table. it is one thing to appreciate a dialect and another to try to intentionally use it to separate the people you are trying to fleece from the population at large. parsy.

Did you ever see that old Saturday Night Live skit in which Eddie Murphy dresses up like a white guy just to see what white people REALLY think about blacks?

He goes to a bank for a loan, and overhears the loan officer telling the black guy in front of him that, unfortunately, his loan application has been refected. When (white) Eddie Murphy sits down at the desk and tells him how much money he is looking to borrow, the guy just opens the drawer and starts piling cash on top of the desk.

"This should be enough for you," the bank officer says, "Just pay it back whenever you can, if you want to."

"Don't I need to fill out an application?" Murphy asks.

"No," said the loan officer (still piling cash on the desk), "What made you think that?"

"I overheard you rejecting someone else . . ."

"Nah, don't worry about that -- we just go through the process for THOSE people. Like we were ever going to lend HIM any money."

The guy bursts out laughing as he finishes counting the money. Murphy looks shocked, but he smiles broadly and utters a loud, forced laugh:

"Heh-heh-heh -- What a silly Negro!"
