Just an observation......Many of the posts in this thread, show as little respect for the English language as the Ebonics we are discussing. Errors in syntax, and the inability to use defined language are prevelant in all aspects of our culture. If indeed, there is a "perfect" form of English, we are all guilty of failing to use it, to some extent.
This is not in defense of one cultural interpretation of English, or another. Just a reminder that we are a diverse population, and will make societal changes to whatever language we have, regardless of race, or economic status.
