People have all the damn choice in the world. They -choose- to sound ignorant or -choose- to speak with some form of intelligence. I believe our black youth should take it upon themselves to be able to distinguish between times when you can speak with ebonics (its fine when you're with your friends) and when you should speak properly (job interviews around adults and generally all the damn time in my opinion). Speaking ebonics does nothing but display your stupidity/ignorance, especially when used at the wrong time. Surround yourself with people who speak correctly, or simply pay a-fucking-ttention in school.
