Whatever happened to Ebonics?
When is Obama going to openly support them?

One thing is for certain, Conservatives will strongly oppose the Queen's English or anything else that smacks of homosexuality.

What do you mean by "them"? That doesn't make sense. Are you making a joke that I didn't get?

Whatever the case, Ebonics is a dialect of English, with its own grammar structure and rules, heard recently from Rachel Jenteal in the Zimmerman trial. It's obviously not something the president would have learned growing up in Honolulu.

Award for weirdest OP ever in the history of Mormon Discussions.

You're right. I should probably erase my previous post and just leave yours to speak for me.

i was not curious about his mastery of the "dialect", just why he has not openly supported government funding for its implementation in public schools and on standardized tests.....and my curiosity as to why Ebonics is not part of the national discussion anymore.....?

your slip is showing.
