In reply to:

What does speaking ebonics have to do with "representin da black community"? Are you black? Just asking since it appears that you are fairly fluent and educated in ebonics.


It was merely a representation of the dialect. Reference to black perhaps was a subconcious decision to indentify the original source of ebonics as well as provide a stereotypical reference to help support the tone and accents (since words do not always effectively convey their sounds, however most people are familiar with the language conveyed on TV by black gangsters or rap artists). I have no racial predjudice against anyone of any color.

I am not black, but if you examined my brain you'd swear I was green (and no, I'm not predjudiced against aliens either ).
