Ebonics for Beginners

[FlameoftheWest89]

It's funny because it's a spoof, even though it's true.

[cahr412]

o shit u get good times wit it im bouot to go copp dis jawn rite now

[pisces2222]

I've been trying to find a serious video about ebonics for my linguistics class, and all I find are these spoofs. I wonder what that means lol...

[TheKayjay07]

Another show of ignorance. Africans speak British English and most of them even have trouble understanding the ebonics spoken by the African-Americans.So keep them out of this.

[ThatWhiteGuy74]

@TheKayjay07 Dude, its a spoof. And did you not notice the Africans in the video? Chill.

[AchaiaDustt]

I'm offended.. that I didn't get a dollar too. I WANT THE GODDAMN DOLLAR! \;A;/ Fuck humans! I want money!

[drocto21]

lame, thumbs down.

[zaybex]

Um. Just so ya'll know, it says *in the description* that this is spoof. You know... if you couldn't tell.

Which means it's not meant to be taken seriously. If you didn't know.

[MrBigawesome1]

Ebonics started as a secret coded language so that slaves could talk to each other with out the white slave owner picking up on what they were saying..

[TheBashir85]

@MrBigawesome1 . I think u are right because here in Nigeria we have Pidgin English which was stated when the white men came to africa. It is different to ebonics and english. Like if u want to say HOW ARE U? in nigerian pidgin english is HOW U DEY?

[peeweejj]

@MrBigawesome1 Thats not true at all you fucking idiot. it was made because black people like me and everybody else that lives in Atlanta or L.A. or New York or New Jersey began to make up words to describe new ideas or shortened or changed words so that they were easier to say just like the pilgrims and how our language is different from actual English from the UK. get you facts right

if a slave said yo we gone break out of da damn plantation tonight my nigga

it would easily be understood.

[RetardStudios3]

Dr. King did not use this kind of language. You know how I know?

Because, he went to college at age 15.

[YouHaveMetYourMaker]

Sad enough to say, I've seen worse ads on local channels.

[camljockykilla]

[madmanlll]

[queenjazz1]

wut does africa have to do with ebonics...

[Aslana1]

source: wikipedia: Ebonics is a term that was originally intended and sometimes used for the language of all people of African ancestry, or for that of Black North American people; since 1996 it has been largely used to refer to African American Vernacular English (distinctively nonstandard Black United States English), asserting the independence of this from (standard) English.

[pulidos824]

seeing as how there are actual black people in the video, and the fact that when the white guy was talking all ghetto he pulled out a dollar thinking he was a bum etc. I would say this video is making more fun of the fact that white people think all black people are the same, and if the black people in the video had the balls and sense of humor to help make it, you guys should stfu and stop saying the video was racist etc. You're just white kids afraid of what other people might say if you laugh

[AchaiaDustt]

@pulidos824 -gigglesnort- White people, black people. Whateves. I want the dollar. XD
