What about “Ebonics”? Were we not instructed by our wise liberal overlords a few years ago that Ebonics was just as valid a dialect as a Harvard accent?

Golly, I’m confused!

I don’t think we’re allowed to use that term anymore— it’s now “African-American Vernacular English.”

(Apparently “White Vernacular English” consists solely of phonemes designed to keep a brotha’ down.)

Ebonics might be what Reid was referring to. Hard to know what goes through the mind of racists like Reid.
