Because we need janitors.Why is ebonics still a functional dialect all over this country?Aks me eneething...LOL Apparently so.I guarantee you all of that will be too complex for him to handle.Believe it or not, after three hundred plus years, ebonics is a dialect that pulls from West African phonemes, the simplification of irregular verbs and sounds used in creole languages, and 1700's southern accent, among a lot of other things I have forgotten. Why "ax" instead of "ask?" Did you know that by the time we are one, we no longer hear the sound combinations our language doesn't use? In West African languages, "sk" isn't used, so Africans literally didn't hear it. The closest they had was an "x." It's the same with Japanese not being able to distinguish between "l" and "r."Bullshit.
Ebonics is poor grammar and syntax.
I grew up in Brooklyn.
That’s not a joke.
It’s fucking sad.
