What you are saying is true to a certain extent. But Ebonics is not a way for African Americans to cheat to get As in school or anything. It’s just a label placed on the way some African Americans speak. If the people who teach you language speak poorly, then you will learn poor language. Now in you case you noticed African Americans doing bad things while you did good things to eventually become successful. The thing is there are good PEOPLE and bad PEOPLE (to include those of all races) So African Americans are not the only ones that doe bad things and the only ones to speak ‘Ebonics’ for that matter. It’s called selective exposure, people only see what they want to see and what is consistent with their current beliefs. Just keep in mind that no one race has members that all act completely a like. There is way too much involved in why African Americans are at the status they are now and the reputation they receive from being at this status, so these discussion could continue forever. Just please be open minded and do not generalize people. If you do then you totally prejudged myself and my family completely wrong and inaccurately due to how a portion of African Americans behave
