Why be Ebonic?
Why be, like, "you be" and "we be?"

Its so funny when I see people feed into the ignorant sterotypes pushed by the media. The entire concept of ebonics is rediculous--in many cases its nothing more than dialect. If the concept of ebonics is flawed anyway because of regional differences; ebonics is nothing more than slang--colloquialisms. Remember when 'white' words like 'awesome' and 'rad' were ballyhoed by the so called 'King's English' experts?

One of the dudes here at work is Chinese, but he has a heavy Jamaican accent. When speaks Cantonese over the phone, it's awesome.

i was working in a video store once and this black guy comes up and starts talking to me in fluent cantonese.. although i had never met him before, it turns out my little sister and dad had been some of the people who taught him cantonese! He worked in the same restaraunt as they did.

Thats the most rediculous statement I've heard today--I'm sure someone else will take this dubious distinction in this thread though

Yeah, when I went to the blood lab, they had a couple of black guys working there. They spoke Cantonese MUCH better than me (I suck) to the Chinese ladies who were working there too. I was really surprised about how well they spoke. There was very little accent.
