Contrary to ignorant posts on this website, Ebonics is NOT mere slang. Rather it is a fully-formed, complex, rule-governed system of language that has specific rules for pronunciation, vocabulary, and word order, all of which operate as a complex grammatical system inherited, in part, from West African languages. Attempts to imitate the speech patterns by those who don’t understand the complexities of the grammatical system of Ebonics not only sound ridiculous but also result in usages that are downright linguistically incorrect and culturally demeaning.
ebonics examples:
Habitual “be”: He be mean to me. (meaning: he is habitually mean to me.)
He mean to me. (meaning: he is being mean to me right now.)
She BEEN married. (stressed “been” meaning she’s been married a long time and still is.)
Multiple negative inversion: Can’t nobody beat ‘em.

Get the ebonics mug.Neurodivergent Economics (Neurodivergent Capitalism) is a movement among Neurodivergents aiming to build wellness through the ownership, growing businesses, & supporting economic influences, in the hands of Neurodivergents.
Neurodivergent Economics focuses on investing in Neurodivergent-Owned businesses, community development, possession of land, education, startups, patents, or other resources that support the Neurodivergent Economy.
Supporters of Neurodivergent economics boycott businesses & non-profits that are ableisitic, predatory, or harmful to Neurodivergents or other impacted demographics.
Other forms of direct or indirect support may include related policy or advocacy work, activism, or campaigns for things such as demanding acceptance & raising awareness of information important to Neurodivergents or their communities.
(To prevent appropriation, it should be noted that this is inspired by the wisdom Black Economics / Black Capitalism and should NEVER be used in a manner that detracts from or robs the Black Economy. Furthermore, it is this author's opinion that when Neurodivergents cannot find a fellow Neurodivergent to spend their money with, one might do well to seek that product or service from the Black Community in support and solidarity for fellow impacted demographics. This also honors where our communities intersect for the many ignored, under-diagnosed, and much less frequently assessed Black Neurodivergents."

Get the Ebonics mug.is an actual dialect of english. just like any other dialect of english it will be slightly different from english. Is does have SYNTAX. Verbal marking, its own phonological system different from english. This is not what blacks do to not learn english. Read a book. African American English by Lisa Green. You will be informed or maybe not if you don't understand linguistics. By the way, there are many variations of English. Do you know which one you are speaking?
my examples are too extensive so I will put normal ones
Terms for females in ebonics
Bopper, dime, honey, hot girl, ma, shorty, wifey
These are labels for females used by males. If there was no systematic way of doing things then a female would be able to say these things and not seem a little odd. As a female it would be odd to label a girl as a "shorty".

Get the ebonics mug.ebonics is the act of using almost every word your english teacher didnt want you to use. it uses the latest slang or "in correct grammer" of the weak. it is useually spoken in the ghetto and poorer parts of town. some people speak ebonics as a 3rd language or just as a joke (e.g. preppy high schoolers) some people use it as a joke and when they need to get their point across to certain groups of people(e.g. myself, the person who is getting their poin across) and some people use it as every day language, they also dont call it ebonics, they called it "talk"n at cha". ebonics also involves putting an "izle" or "isich" to some words. it also works by just adding a J or an X.
