Well, I can't tell more, i'm still a frenchy..(Maybe Ebonic french word?)

what are ebonics?

there was an extremely funny movie about it on funnyjunk.com

Example:
Gangster;
, drop your gats before we turn this in mofo upside down.
English;
Sir, drop your firearm or we will be forced to shoot and cause attention,

This is sad...
Time to visit the dictionary: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=ebonics
Ebonics is not internet shorthand.


Nope.

I am proud to not know how to speak Ebonics .

Isnt ebonics 'black' ppl speak?

Yes

...Piece of crap post :/

Sterotype....
Some people like me speak like that but sometimes they don't

"Ebony" and "Phonics" combined makes "Ebonics", so yes, it's a stereotypical description of black speech.

Does anyone talk ebonics in real life?
Cuz I do to my family and in school.

Ugh, from what I understand of ebonics, they're stupid.
I prefer just using plain, mutated English like most people...

That isn't ebonics. That is just "I'm too lazy to spell out 'you' or 'be right back' and instead I choose to use letters or acronyms for my word/phrase usage."

Ebonics is basically just slang, except it is called ebonics because it assumes that most slang comes from the African-American communities.

Not all of us African-American speak ebonics.
My sis doesn't For a stupid reason.

I know, that's why I put "assumes." As in, "it may not be true."

Yep it is a stereotype, there’s nothing wrong with stereotyping. I assume every time someone is pointing a gun at a casher clerk that he is stealing money. If you think, [i] "well the sales clerk might have a weapon and be holding hostages in the back" then your denying yourself the overly obvious.

Of course that is a massive step up on stereotyping blacks to speaking Ebonics and almost unrelated. But what is wrong with observing patterns? It seems to me that most young black Americans speak Ebonics or at least a lot more slang than whites do. I know they don’t all speak it, like you said your sister doesn’t

You might assume I am racist for some of the stuff I say but I'm not. I think you can be afraid of a large black man just because he is black and still not be racist. Just because you are afraid of the common or notice the repeat doesn’t mean you hate everyone for that reason. Personally I hate hearing Ebonics, nothing sounds more stupid than someone who know English but chooses to speak that way. It is hard for me to become friends with a person speaking Ebonics to me because of the stereotypes it has, that its annoying hearing people curse every 3 words. I don’t dislike blacks but I dislike the people that many of them are, I have had numerous friends who are black and still do. I don’t treat people with any less respect because there black, but I do look down on people who speak with Ebonics some who are white. They have control over that and that’s there decision, just like I can dislike someone for there attitude you can dislike people for other personal habits they may posses including their speech.

Wolfmasterkouga: I want you to know that this post is not a personal attack, and My opinion of you doesn’t change knowing your black. I just wanted to state my opinion on the matter. Also, I hope the word “black” to describe the race doesn’t offend you, I noticed you refereed to it as “African-American”.

Yeah, i guess were getting more and more off topic. And this is headed towards a "serious disccusion topic"
