These people really need to be taken to task for linguistically appropriating my fucking language.
Ebonics is culturally enforced anti-intellectualism
Time to reap me some downvotes.
No, sorry, Ebonics is just a dialect of English, no more or less valid than any other dialect. It has rules, just like any other dialect. The problem is not that it's invalid, but that speaking it doesn't get you anywhere - there's no literature in Ebonics, nor can people understand you if you do speak it.
u don geddit
iz dey culcha
Well yeah, dialects differ. Doesn't make it not a dialect.
The fact that you know to use 'they' as a possessive, shows that it just has different rules, and that you know this.
