Subject: Re: RE: M-I: Hooked on Ebonics



Something I haven't seen addressed yet in anyone's comments.  The Oakland
School Board resolution says that Ebonics is a genetically determined
language.  I realize this is a load of crap.  I hope most people realize
this is a load of crap.

Where are the revolutionary Black forces fighting for recognition of
Ebonics as a seperate language?  The forces calling for Ebonics are the
same folks that are behind the Farakhan's and other reactionary
nationalists within the Black community.  When Black socialists lead the
fight for Ebonics, I'll think it's important.
