    I hate when people think talking white is talking proper.You can use slang and still sound like a straight up white boy.Its the vernacular
    Will Smith talks proper but he doesn't sound white

    proper grammar =/= intelliigence

    all language is language and there is no way of speaking that is objectively better than the other. in this society however, speaking in ebonics sends an indirect message that im pretty sure most of you are familiar with. and on the other extreme, when someone is uppity and using big ass words that people almost never use in irl conversations then they are sending or trying to send an indirect message as well. language is language, it's all about the connotations. if blacks were the majority in america, and ebonics was used everywhere (government, literature, media ... etc. ) and whites were getting the short end of the stick, then the stigma associated with speaking 'black' would be reversed.

    CHICAGO (CBS)– Police are investigating the beating of a male teen in the wake of a disturbing YouTube video that shows a prolonged attack in a Bridgeport alley.

    The videotaped assault happened shortly after 4 p.m. Sunday in the 2800 hundred block of South Princeton Avenue, Chicago police told CBS 2.

    The 17-year-old victim was jumped by seven offenders and was robbed of his gym shoes, wallet and money, police said.

    It’s not clear who recorded the 3-minute, 39-second video, which was posted under the title “helpless asian man attacked and jumped by 7 others behind school.” It shows several youths beating, punching and kicking the victim. The faces of most of the offenders are not visible, but they appear to be in the age range of the youth they are attacking.

    The victim was treated and released at Mercy Hospital.

    Area 1 detectives are investigating, police said.

    A YouTube link sent to CBS 2 Monday evening was later disabled. A separate posting of the same video later appeared.



    Word on the net is this is Asian on Asian violence.
