Yeah, Matt, in a free society I wouldn't have to "speak Ebonics."

(Personally, I interviewed several folks while I was at Intel who could not
speak standard English. I recommended against their hiring, and they in
fact did not get invites to be interviewed at the main facilities. So much
for their jive talk habits.)

Understand, I have nothing against the colored people speaking "Ebonics" to
each other, or to anyone who'll listen. But I don't have to deal with this
nonsense, nor do I have to hire them.

(Until the People's Republic of Political Correctness demands that I
"justify" why not speaking standard English is a "valid job requirement,"
and refuses to take my "Because I say it is" as a valid answer. Not
surprisingly, the Clintonistas have decided to enter the Proposition 209
challenge on the side of the pro-discrimination side.)

If I were designing a genocidal program to destroy the colored race, I
would be pushing for Ebonics, for encouraging coloreds to study "Human
Potential" and "African History" instead of math, science, and engineering,
and pushing for hiring quotas.
