    The OP is confronted on other threads about her practice of stating untruthfulness and lack of citations.

    I would say that it's not racist since, in my experience, you don't see white people speak ebonics very much (which is also why it's called ebonics instead of iveronics or barrioish). By the way (from the first page):
    Racism is a subset of bigotry so it's not really very strange at all. Are we not allowed to try and understand other cultures? How is anyone supposed to learn, understand, accept others when we aren't allowed to ask any questions from each other?

    Oh I know. She once said that Christians where the most persecuted group of people in our society. When I asked for evidence *poof* she vanished. Christians lost their credibility when they voted for a lying adulturous bankrupt billionaire.

    It's a dang shame. You guys almost had it all, at the end of last century. Almost.

    Yes it is a bad thing. Very bad.

    No, they're not. Most people don't like to see divisive racism.

    Do you really not get the irony of your prior post? Hint: condescending stereotype, you and yours are constantly howling about such... until you and yours do it... day in and day out... then somehow it's ok.

    So you don't think comments like (para) "I know several accomplished black people" are patronizing and condescending? OK then.

    I'm black and I don't speak or text Ebonics. It's poor English and unprofessional.

    Like I said, it doesn't apply to all African-Americans.

    Actually this thread turned into a decent discussion about accents and I am learning quite a lot.

    I agree . . . it's the best state in the Union; if you are not living in Texas.

    So leftists consider Eubonics to be the equivalent of serial killing and shooting up schools? Nice! But this sort of auto-playing of the Race Card for everything under the sun by self-righteous and race patronizing and generally White leftists is why the Right pretty much ignores the Left whenever they HOWL about race relations in this nation. You can't have a meaningful discussion with people determined to rig the deck with kneejerk political correctness.
