Question

Help answer this question below.

Thanks Guru. I think prejudice is more mental (opinion) than treatment of people. I can treat a person against whom I am prejudiced just like everyone else. Is your opinion of African-Americans not lessened by use of Ebionics?

I do not know if this is addressed to me.

No, my opinion of black people is not lessened by ebonics.

My initial opinion of anyone (black, white, or any other) who uses ebonics is lessened because of my dislike of the mangling of the English language.

Even, at that, I get over my initial impression of someone who uses ebonics and see the good traits of the person. My opinion that ebonics is lazy speech and an annoying affect remain. However, I do go past that and see the person's other good traits.

Limbaugh has been accused of a lot of things: misogynist comments, prejudiced opinion on African Americans, insensitive remarks about the physically disabled and homosexuals. Now he's insulting whole countries(read Indianslumdog). What do u think of him?

I think bigotry towards African-Americans is due to African-American Vernacular English (some say Ebionics) more than color. Color is 1st seen; then African-AmericanVernacular English adds prejudice whereas dictionary-lpronounced English reduces it. Agree

I'm an EEOC officer who's hired hundreds of African-Americans. Those without accents are hired far more frequently than those with southern Ebionics-like or gangsta-rap accents. Accents hold them back. Why's this lanquage problem not often discussed?

Does it bother you when people use "ebonics" purposely in person or on the net? What would be the correct word for ebonics? Because I dont mean just African Americans, I mean all races.

Do you think mentally retarded people realize they're different? If so do you think that they just think everyone else is just really smart? Whatever your opinion please state it and why you think that.
