I agree with the majority of the commments Bill Cosby made.

In relation to the proper way to speak, it is my opinion that proper grammar should be used in any public venue, whether you are talking to your friends, employer, or coworkers. You are in public and you never know who is watching. Additionally, if you know that the stereotype of black people is that we are ignorant and speak ebonics, why would you go out and confirm that stereotype, then justify it by saying you were with your friends and you know how to speak in job interviews?

That comment right there is one of my pet peeves. Because you know what, one day it might slip out in an environment where you didn't want it to. Then what? Remember this...
thoughts become words
words become actions
actions become habits
and habits build character
So, it's more than just a bunch of words, it can be a determining factor in your life.

I just think we need to step it up. It takes the same amount of breath to say something in ebonics as it does in proper English. So, what's the problem? Stop making excuses for why we can't do it and make it happen. It has to start somewhere. So, start today.
