After reading your last response.....I am somewhat interested to know what it is that you do. I don't care the least bit to search "over the years" to see what it is......something though is telling me that it really isn't that big of a deal....at all.

Well, I just have a little doctorate in molecular genetics and I have worked, and am currently working on new methods of treatment for atherosclerosis, diabetic cardiomyopathy, breast cancer in situ and progeria. My current irrelevant position is at a major university (Div IA) that has had these scientists receive these insignificant awards, I think they call them "Nobel Prizes". But I guess it "really isn't a big of deal...at all".

I guess helping large populations of people, given that heart disease is the number one killer in America "really isn't a big of a deal...at all".

I guess I should just quit because affirmative action gave me this opportunity and I am worthless because I took advangtage of this chance to succeed and be a positive contributing member of society that pays my taxes.

You can think that my ability to cross languages quickly, such as you have incorrectly identified as "ebonics", lacks any kind of "intelligence", however my enslaved ancestors often used this mode of communication when developing the spy network in the underground railroad against the Confederacy...

So, I wonder who is less intelligent, especially when the "word on the streets" are ignored simply because it is viewed as deficient.

But hey, I am accustomed to be discounted and ruled out of the life "competition". I just dust myself off and say "bring it on..."

Great, thanks for your time. I'm glad you have a doctorate. I'm happy for you. Am I blown away? No.

Actually I didn't identify it wrong saying that it was ebonics.

African American Vernacular English (AAVE), also called African American English, Black English, Black Vernacular, or Black English Vernacular (BEV), is a type variety (dialect, ethnolect and sociolect) of the American English language. It is known colloquially as Ebonics (a portmanteau of "ebony" and "phonics").

Did not expect you to be blown away. I gather that you know plenty of research scientists in numerous fields. However, it seems that your exposure to "real time" highly educated African American women is extremely limited. You can think that I am not about shit and that is cool. Whatever.

But I am nearing 40 years old. I have never been pregnant. I am not struggling with some fool who has been incarcerated. And I am not a substance abuser.

I have had plenty encounters with those types of African American women. And in my Sorority and church work, I have tried to change some of these women's lives. In fact, I have had tried to change the lives of young ladies by showing them a better choice that living in destitution.

That is what I deal with constantly. And I can speak for plenty of other African American women who post here that they probably work to change the lives of those in their community, too.

I need a reference, where did you get that quote?

I got that from Wikipedia. You can also go to www.cal.org.....which is the Center for Applied Linguistics, and you will find that African American Vernacular English is commonly referred to as Ebonics.
