re: This:
Why would a Ebonic reference automatically be considered insulting "to Mr. Obama's race"? Are Ebonics demeaning to African Americans?
Ebonics have made their way into White middle class colloquialisms like "wazzup" and "Yo-Yo-Yo". (No "diss" intended).
I thought with the election of the first Black president us "Crackers" might not have to walk around on eggshells any longer. Instead, at least on this board, attitudes have swung in the direction of overcompensation, an attitude towards Blacks that many Whites find comfortable in dealing with the guilt of being White.
