Black English.
What is Ebonics? Ebonics, translated literally, means "Black Sounds". Historically in psychology they have referred to Ebonics by the name Black English. By whatever name, Ebonics is a way of communicating used primarily by black people. .
The controversy over Ebonics really didn't trigger in my mind until our discussion in English class, but as I though about it and did some research it's a major issue facing the literary world. Some feel Ebonics is a broken or lazy English and some feel that it's a deviation from standard English, the norm. Well, what constitutes as Standard English? Who's to say that this form of English is right or wrong. I guess people see Standard English as Standard English, because a vast majority of people speak it , and its accepted by society as a whole. Many people loath and look down upon those who speak Black English is disgust and ridicule. I think because of this that many black people are denying their heritage and who they are and where they come from. Parents who teach there children that Black English is wrong; and not accepted in the just of society and corporate America, and every time that child hears someone speak it they may feel that this is wrong and shun down upon another as if there not educated enough to even speak "Standard English". .
I feel there is no right or wrong in this situation. I speculate that Black English was created because of a situation that African American where put it, and it was a means of communication between different African backgrounds. .
I don't think there is nothing wrong with Black parent wanting there children to speak "Standard English", because it's a necessary tool for survival in today's society, but people should not turn there backs on those who speak Black English but instead indulge it and accept it, because it's a part of who they are.
I think everyone stand in different positions on the subject I speculate it has to do with your background, and if your open-minded enough to view this situation in a different prospective.
