Hey Original Ape,
I understood you too, after reading your last post about Clarence Thomas.
SoloRho,
You are correct. Slang and ebonics aren't interchangable words. Ebonics really is just improper English. Didn't the name "ebonics" come out of that whole ordeal in California where they were going to start allowing "ebonics" to be acceptable in the classroom?
And I had never heard about the whole poor, uneducated European thing before, but it does make a lot of sense.
