So there are other liberals here who agree with you? Nice. Opinion: 1. a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty. 2. a personal view, attitude, or appraisal...
Methinks thou doth protest too much. I did a search on "ebonics" in this forum. Prior to this post, there are 46 other posts containing the word. Of those 46, 20 are quotations of previous posts so they don't count. Of the 26 original usages of the word, YOU account for six (6) of them. 6 out of 26 is 23%. Nobody else has used the word half as much. Even Pa(b)st Prime has only used it twice. So keep denying your racism, Mr. "Brutally Honest". It shows exactly what you are: a racist AND a coward.
Would using the term negro dialect be more acceptable? It works for a prominent liberal democrat I know. Or maybe you're under the impression that all 6.6 billion of us speak exactly alike. How is pointing out or referring to someones difference in speech make one a racist? (it's a rhetorical question moron) You just keep throwing the racist term around, because it's all your feeble mind knows - left wing dogma.
It is actually easier at times to understand the "negro dialect" than it is to understand the words of the booger eating cousin fucking white trash from the deep south klannish...
You keep trying to have it both ways. Now you're claiming to use ebonics as just the name of a dialect of English. So how does that explain your saying "English or Ebonics"? Obama handled the GOP Congressmen just fine, without a teleprompter, without notes and without ebonics. I don't understand the cowardice here. You clearly want to be a racist, so why not own it? Are you ashamed? Then why all the racism? Conflicted much?
Now maybe one of you educated all knowing experts on political correctness can enlighten me as to how the above statement is NOT racist and considered (apparently by our lefties) to be acceptable. I mean it does include both skin color and insults in the same sentence.
White trash, black trash, yellow trash, green trash... Only a racist like focuses on the color, and not the trash part... If you really want to be insulted properly, look in the mirror and repeat: "I don't know who Denny Hastert is. I had to look it up." Of course you are much too dense to know that you have been insulted...
Have it "both ways", WTF are you talking about? "Ebonics: ... term created by a group of black scholars, Ebonics may be defined as "the linguistic and paralinguistic features which on a concentric continuum represent the communicative competence of the West African, Caribbean, and United States slave descendant of African origin" I beginning to think you don't even know what racism is.
I don't consider it acceptable. But it does emphasize the point that there are many dialects of English. Even in England, there are several dialects of English. Most dialects wouldn't pass the language "purity test" that English teachers demand, whether it's England's English, America's English or Australia's English. But that just serves to highlight your obsession with ebonics as a way of putting down blacks. Be a man, be an out-of-the-closet bigot. You'll like yourself better in the morning.
I explained it already. If ebonics is just an English dialect, give the justification for "Will that test be in English or Ebonics? " I KNOW you desperately want it both ways but you don't get to have it both ways. Be a man. Own your racism.
