Black English (Was: Ebonic Xmass)

Patrick, you proved the point about Black English, though seemed
to miss it yourself.  Black English is slang.  Bad english in the
same sense as "Thanks dude." or "What's up?" is.  I do not question
its languagehood based on semantics.  I question it because it
the people who speak it have a good four-five synonyms for their
race.  Regardles of whether it *should be* considered a language
of its own right, it started being called a language out of
consideration for racial-oversensitivity.

The quality of English, by the way, should probably be determined
by how easily the rest of the country's population can understand
you.  That is:  What percentage of the country is potential
audience to a leaflet written in the English people speak in
Washington?  And what percentage can it hope to reach if it is
written in Ebonics or Black English?

PS: Ebony is a type of wood.  Ebon is the adjective for ebony.
Why ebonIC?
