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

I agree completely- standard English is a dialect of English spoken by those in power. It is in no way inherently better than other dialects. Of course, if everyone spoke the same exact dialect, we all might understand eachother better. But how boring would that be?
