bill cosby is 100% right wrong.
Name one successful legitimate business started by a black person speaking ebonics and broken english.
Dont you guys get it? Mr. Huxtable hates Hip-Hop, so he came up with this whole theory when he could have said "I hate Hip-Hop" because I was born in the 30's and I'm far from hip and I'm too old to hop." You could see it on the "Cosby show" when Theo or somebody brought Hip-Hop to the show, Cliff always had something insulting to say. I like Jazz, but Jazz doesn't sell because the music is often too esoteric. Then they put Miles Davis down cause he loved to try new things. You can tell how dishonest these critics are (Cosby, Wynton and Stanley Crouch) cause they never ever bring up the many positive mc's out there. And Ebonics isn't broken, ignorant English, it's the African culture re-asserting itself within the language. If Ebonics is wrong then you got to get rid of, Spanish, French, Portugese and Italian cause they're just inferior Latin.
I've said about all I can say. If you hate Ebonics stop buying Hip-Hop. Jamaican Patois is oh so cool, but when Black people from America Talk a certain way it's oh so wrong. I'll never change who I am to get some funky job. That's why I got my own record store. I'm through, peace.

Black English is using a bunch of slang and not speaking English the way you're taught in school. Some people think it's okay but what they fail to realize is that not everyone understands it
