This is an interesting post from languagelog

On "proper Ebonics". If you're curious, I agree with the poster here. I hate the term Ebonics. It sounds so... ick.

Have you seen this article (http://nerv-un.net/~targaff/ebonics.html) before, by any chance? I came across it years ago, back when I was still doing linguistics; passed it on to my then lecturer, and he's been using it as part of the course ever since, so he says.

Thought it might interest you, anyhow.

I've seen several such articles, but not that particular one, thanks.
