n. - Personal name popular with African Americans or found exclusively in African American communities.
For girls, Ebonics names typically follow the pattern of three syllables with the stress on the second vowel. This may be accomplished by adding a prefix to a mainstream, two-syllable name, or by inventing a name from scratch. Less commonly, a two-syllable name is made by adding a syllable to the ending "-elle."
For boys, Ebonics names are often names formerly popular with whites. Otherwise, they are two syllable names with the stress on the second syllable. This pattern can be achieved by adding a prefix to a single-syllable mainstream name, or by inventing a name by combining two syllables. As with girls, a boy's name can also be formed with the "-el" (notice masculine spelling) ending.
Invented Ebonics names often begin with the syllables La/Le, Da/De, or Sha/She.

a linguistic disease that is causing the downfall of society, especially those who use it as a primary language. This disease undermines and devalues important concepts like parenthood by calling the mother of your child, a person with whom the sacred bond of parenthood should be implied a 'baby-momma'
if the ebonic plague continues to spread, our underprivledged have little hope of learning the value of parenthood, sexuality, and hope.

An racist term (in my opinion) describing how black people supposedly speak, when in reality, a lot of white peoples talk like that too. (But seriously, who the hell says "I'm going to" anymore. Literally everybody says, or has at least said once or unintentionally, "I'm gonna." Or "Imma". Who has the patience to say the full word? At least no one I know. It's just faster. That's why not many people say " Long Island Express." They say "L.I.E". Plus, no one even says "dat" or "hizzy", anymore. That's just an exaggeration.)

This weekend I sat on the exact Bus that Rosa Parks started the civil rights movement on at Greenfield Village. When the tape played that she said "Get your sorry Klu Klux hands out m' face, my rear stays here, ain't not going to the rear of the bus no mo!" The de-ebonizer streamed it to say "I won't go to the back of the bus- the civil right movement starts...right now!"

Ebonics are the simplification and shorthand of American English. Other definitions on Urban Dictionary have a negative perspective of Ebonics mostly because of the content of what is said. While that is relevant information it doesn't quite get at the root of what Ebonics is, which is a language device for efficiency. In that way it is Permaculture and a very beautiful thing indeed.
'Love' Ebonics are how Twista can say:
"I'm rippin a rap and then rockin a rhythm and ring in my tongue I'ma bend em
And flow with a lyric it's steppin inside em
And get with the funk I be pumpin up in em
With this and it's the..."

It's Poetry which is Art which is Love.
