"SLANG" "EBONICS" "TALKING BLACK" WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT, FOR SOME REASON THE SWAG THAT BLACK PEOPLE HAVE ATTACHED TO THE AMERICAN DIALECT HAS BEEN BASHED FOR YEARS. IF A BLACK PERSON TALKS WITHOUT USING "SLANG" THEY SAY HE SPEAKS SO WELL, AKA HE SOUNDS LIKE A WHITE PERSON. BUT I'M NOT WHITE, SO I COULD CARE LESS. TALKING "PROPER ENGLISH" IS OF ILL CONCERN TO ME ABOUT 75% OF THE TIME. SURE I CAN "TALK PROPER" IF I HAVE TO. BUT I LOVE SLANG, BECAUSE IT MAKES US DIFFERENT. TO ME ITS ENGLISH, ITS JUST THE BLACK PEOPLE VERSION OF IT. DO YOU USE SLANG? DO YOU FEEL LIKE IT MAKES YOU LESS INTELLIGENT IF YOU DO? IT'S ALSO MASH A MF MONDAY, OUR VENT EPISODE FOR THE WEEK AND I'M GONNA EXPLODE ON CLEVELAND CAVALIER OWNER DAN GILBERT!
