Ebonics

#1

Ebonics has widely been described as a nonstandard variant of English spoken largely by African Americans. John R. Rickford, a Stanford University professor of linguistics, has described it as “Black English” and noted that “Ebonics pronunciation includes features like the omission of the final consonant in words like ‘past’ (pas’ ) and ‘hand’ (han’), the pronunciation of the th in ‘bath’ as t (bat) or f (baf), and the pronunciation of the vowel in words like ‘my’ and ‘ride’ as a long ah (mah, rahd).”

Ah, you think I made this thread because you think I’m racist. The reason I made this thread was to point out how idiotic some Americans are for classing how gangstas, who are often not only black, talk. Making them have their own language. Plus what’s the big deal about this thread, I hardly did anything wrong.
