Keep in mind that Black people’s true native tongue is not of American origin. The original slaves who entered this country didn’t speak the language at all, they were trained by white people who couldn’t speak ‘proper English’ themselves. (Ask any pure Englishman and they will beg to differ over whites who mis-pronounce the ‘Queen’s English’ or whatever you might call it.) Somewhere between the white hillbillies Blacks encountered in America, the Englisgh-speaking people who couldn’t pronoune it themselves, the Quakers and Shakers who had their own brand of native tongue, and the native tongue Black people once recognized as their own, a cultural blend of many different languages became what we now recognize as ‘Ebonics’ and hold to as our own. It is, therefore, no more mis-pronounced than a Frenchman’s inability to translate ‘th’ into his own native tongue or a Japanese person struggling with English or a Korean or Hispanic person who switches back and forth between their native tongue and English, or even an islander who speaks ‘Pig Latin’ or has a Jamaican ‘slow drag, mon’ and these people understand one another even when the rest of us don’t know what they are talking about. It is a chosen form of communication with us now, and it is the language of choice when we are talking to one another. You might also notice that Black people can step out of this cultural language barrier and into yours when they are talking to white people or think it’s anything white people SHOULD understand. Other than that, they figure if they’re not talking to you and the other Black person understands them, it’s between themselves and the person they are communicating with. It’s not necessary for white people to know EVERYTHING we say.
