Black Pride

There are few things that truly offend me. For example, a coworker was making dead baby jokes, and I was the only one who found them funny. That being said, I do find the notion of Ebonics to be highly offensive. I recall in the early 90s when educated Americans were actually considering making Ebonics an official language! I was never more ashamed to be a so-called African American than I was at that time.

I came across a website that will translate English into Ebonics (or as the website says, "Ebonify dis whack English").

Here is an example:

Police say a woman was shot and killed in a house in Minneapolis on Saturday evening.

In Ebonics translates to:

Police say uh biotch wuz smok'd an' ganked in uh crib in Minneapolis Saturday evening with muh beeotch.

Yeah, it's brilliant. I think I will randomly post blog entries in Ebonics.
