I agree, they should not claim to speak Ebonics. They typically do not know that Ebonics and Black English are not simply slang and improper grammar. Ebonics and Black English are studied as legitimate dialects by some linguists, historians, etc.

Not to mention that you all are talking to a young and predominantly white audience, 99% of whom are speaking slang or improper grammar rather than Ebonics. If they ever claimed to be speaking Ebonics, they are being racially offensive and linguistically inaccurate.

Some gems from this afternoon:

Omfg! ITS SORORITY RECRUITMENT! I hope i get a bid to Rush Kappa Delta!” *scratches head*

Umm...bid to rush. Ok.

leslie said as soon as we sign up for rush, sorority girls will be stalking our social network sites.

Hope she pays attention!

Good gosh, I was writing a rec for a particularly lovely woman when I realized I was missing a bit of information. I checked out her Face Book page, and honestly, I don't know if I can recommend her now!


PNMs, IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU REALIZE - CLEAN UP YOUR SOCIAL NETWORKING PAGES NOW!!!!

I came across that blog the other day and just read her final installment!

Such a well-written account of her experience. Congrats to her and her new home!
