Does that mean it’s okay to speak Redneck now?

So are we supposed to speak Ebonics? Remember some years ago, some largely black school district, I believe it was Oakland, was teaching Ebonics as a legitimate language. Rather than teach their mostly black students proper English they were ok with street slang and Ebonics.

We should start having ebonics Tuesday. And dang it, my Samsung is a racist too! As I typed my idea, the phone wouldn’t accept the term ebonics and kept auto correcting it.

And a heteropatriarchal system. So we should learn to talk from non white people who take it right up the wazzoo.
Amazing.
