Anyway, to answer your assignment: I assign the refusal to respect whole dialects of English just because they appear to contain incorrect English grammar. Fact is, 'Ebonics' (the language of the ghetto if you must), follow grammatical constructions from African languages quite closely.
That's all well and good. I don't understand why white British kids are using Ghetto language. Their ghetto is not one with Africa roots.

Still, who am I to complain. They can keep their language without assignation. Only you, LMP, are forbidden from using it.
