EBONICS 101

By Alfred G. Packer

Having worked as a teacher at the college level for years, I've noticed that most Blacks not only have
trouble reading and writing the English language, they have trouble speaking it as well.

The vast majority of my Black students do not have bookshelves in their homes. This is because they own no books. They never engage in casual reading. To them, the idea of reading for pleasure is laughable. They see it as a chore. Instead, they spend whatever free time they have watching television. (Knowing this first-hand, I always get a kick out of movies where judges, surgeons, engineers, and other high-powered professionals are portrayed by Black actors. Hollywood is either totally out of touch with reality, or pushing  deliberately false, pro-Black propaganda on us.)

Blacks traditionally have all kinds of trouble with basics in grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
Subject-verb agreement, homonyms, and the apostrophe are sources of great confusion for most of my Black pupils. Since they only read when they must and never for fun, they haven't seen how real English is supposed to be written. This lack of writing skills is reinforced by a verbal dialect that constantly
violates grammatical rules. If you were to read some of the "essays" that I'm given by Black students, you wouldn't believe these people speak English as a first language. When grading papers, I often wonder how the majority of the class was allowed to graduate from high school. (I know the answer is political correctness, but still...)

When you have to deal with Blacks, you've probably noticed that most of them literally cannot, to save
their lives, pronounce the word "ask." It always comes out "ax." They also cannot correctly pronounce the word "both," which they mispronounce as "boaf." A fairly  long list of words, butchered by Blacks, could be compiled.
.
Curiously, chimpanzees can pronounce a few words in  English with considerable difficulty. Sometimes the  chimps have to use their fingers to push on their  lips or throat to help make sounds like "cup" or "mom."  Chimps have a less evolved "vocal structure" which  permits only a limited range. A few screeching and  hooting sounds are sufficient for the limited vocabulary  of the chimps, who seem capable of mastering only  a few hundred words as demonstrated in sign  language experiments.
.
Blacks similarly evolved differently (and at a much  slower rate) than Whites. The Black has a smaller
average brain size and on average a large, projecting  jaw (more "prognathous" or ape-like) as well as a
less-evolved "vocal structure," which may make it  physically difficult or impossible for them to pronounce  the same range of sounds as White people
.
What's really funny is listening to Blacks, who think they're above their ghetto origins. They try desperately, obviously concentrating, to  pronounce all their words correctly. They over-enunciate,
hitting consonants too hard. In most cases, however,  they just can't do it. They can't sound "White" no matter  how hard they try.
.
An even funnier phenomenon occurs when Blacks try  to wax eloquent. Attempting to sound educated and articulate, they come up with some of the funniest malaprops imaginable, in which it is hilariously clear that the speaker  does not know the meaning of the words that he is using.  Don King is a well-known example of a Black, who tries to  sound like he's from the White suburbs, but who ends up
giving away the fact that he was brought up in an inner-city  housing project and schooled within the penal system.  Bizarre new words often appear out of nowhere when  certain Blacks try to sound educated: "Ah must  reconstidutinalize de fax o' de current situation."
.
Another manifestation of Blacks' below-average mental capacity comes out in spades (no pun intended, maybe) whenever I show a video in class. No matter how many times I scold them, most of my Black students simply cannot refrain from talking during a movie. They lack the self-control necessary to keep their comments and questions to themselves. They involuntarily turn into narrators. If you've ever had the misfortune of going to see a movie with Blacks in the theater, you know exactly what I'm talking about. It's as though every one of their "thoughts" must also become an utterance.
.
I've concluded that nothing can be done to alter the nature of the Black "mind". There are two things,
however, that White people can do with the knowledge of Black intellectual inferiority. First, Whites can
get away from Blacks as much as possible, in every way possible. There's no point in spending any more time than absolutely necessary in the company of a race that is so "underprepared" (a PC term used by educators meaning "inferior.") Second, Whites can use their experiences with and knowledge of Blacks to awaken other Whites to the reality of race. This course  of action is at least better than just complaining.

Interestingly enough, so-called "Ebonics" actually got its start as a "legitimate" form of academic English
in the area of California in which I live. At the beginning of the next school year, I'm going to start
keeping an archive of the many "Ebonics" errors that I encounter. I'll call it my "EE" file. I should have
started doing this years ago. I'd have stacks of material by now, and probably could have convinced a
Jewish book firm to publish my collection as evidence of "institutional racism!"
