Guy is nuts ~ modern English, without suffixes and inflections, was undoubtedly created by the Danish and Saxon "slave class" ~ not by the leadership elite.

It's clearly a creole, and that class of language always originates among the dispossessed.

He's a she, and apparently not too given to thinking things through: racists everywhere should get behind the Eubonics movement with the motto, "A ghetto in every mouth."

Not only that, but "ebonics" does not trace back to any African roots, but rather to language used by "poor whites" who migrated to the American South from a particular part of rural England and a host of secondary influences. If they wanted to have black rooted language they could speak something like the Gullah of the Carolina lowlands.
