Coming from you, Nick1985? Are you a convert? I remember your thread where you asked something about Blacks wanting to be called "African-Americans" instead of "Blacks". The thread got locked for a reason. Are you a new convert now, or is it just a pay back? Uhmm. . . .
"How many people who speak Ebonics can also speak proper English if need be?
How many mainstream managers/middle managers speak Ebonics?"
Cyberian, your questions are irrelevant, since the question is about Blacks using Ebonics as an informal language. The reason I asked was because some members were criticising educated Blacks for using it informally.
Nevertheless, McCarthy's and your question warrants the following response:
It is not parents or adults speaking a dialect or foreign language at home that makes kids illiterates. It is poor educational system or lack thereof. There are many kids of immigrants that have to communicate with their parents in their native languages. They also hear adults speak in those languages during social gatherings of their parents' choosing. In spite of that, the children still end up speaking perfect English. The reason is, they receive good education and interact with children of their age groups that speak English. At the end, they're able to speak proper English and dialects or foreign languages.

Not quite. She'd undoubtedly post pics of herself in the event that this thread had garnered her full attention.Originally posted by: MercenaryForHire
Sheesh, talk about reading too deeply into a simple nef.

me personally, I don't think that ebonics exist. I think that if they wanted to speak correctly, they could. They hang around their homies and that's how they begin to speak. It's a habit they get into.

Same here Queasy. So obviously the answer is no. I'm nervous of shady looking characters from any race.
As a white male who has been targeted for violence expressly because of my race by young black males, my answer would be yes, I am afraid of them. Sorry, all of the lovie-dubbie peacnik talk that those people do not represent all blacks does not matter one bit when I have to drive through ghettos every day and feel the need to lock my doors at stoplights.
It's a totally different thing if I'm at a neutral site and they aren't dressed like thugs.

I'm afraid of anyone that looks like they're ready to attack me with a weapon.
That applies to all races, ages, genders etc..

I grew up not learning black people were 'different' and I was sociallized a lot as a kid (sports, functions, etc)....however a lot of my white friends do have an unnatural fear of black people, and a lot of my black friends know white people are afraid of them....when we prank called people as kids the 'black' guy always had people trying to plea bargain with him while the 'white' guys would just get the 'click'.
