Heard on Roach Limpbone:
It seems that in order to promote the concept of ebonics recognized as
a separate language from which to proceed to build foundations in
"formal" english, the proponents have proposed a "Miss Ebonics"
beauty contest. When the idea was pitched, 49 out of 50 States signed
on and only one State held out. It seems no one wanted to be known as
Miss I da ho...
