Right and most people who study Ebonics and Black English are not saying that all black people speak it (but not speaking it doesn't mean you don't understand it) or that this passes off as "proper" English. However, there are teachers and academics who try to change classroom climates in many schools to accomodate for students who speak Ebonics (similar to ESL) but this is generally a bad idea because you have to prepare kids for the working world.
As an aside, I get bothered when people say "complected" and I usually hear black people say it so that shaped how I felt about its usage. But it actually isn't incorrect and has falsely been used as a sign of "poor education" and "Black English."

1. That horrendous house music you are referring to is actually called 'club music' and it's probably one of the most irritating sounds I have heard in all of my life...you want some good house music...altho i haven't bee in over a decade...go to the Paradox. Matter of fact I got tons of the stuff on my PC...I would gladly send you some if interested...
2. In short, that i why I have dismissed teaching Ebonics...it was a very poor excuse of not teaching kids proper grammar by dumbing them down...
