Ebonics vs. facts and iterpetations

[Andrew Chesnick]

Yo fools, doodads caint play chess, let monk-like whup' some
big assed champion, such thinkin' be mos' so's
dumb dat I duzn't no where t' begin disabusin'
yo' ass all o' such foolishness, but dis statement dat language
be learnt be also so's dumb, so's  I duzn't know where t'
begin, but I gots'ta state it simply an' den yo' ass
kin try t' lift it.
What a ripoff.
 Honky foo-l language aint learned, it be, bilological,
humans aint thinkin' machines, we be mo' likes worms dan da I-R-fuckin'-S, 
our brains be mo' likes fish brains an' bird brains dan data an' disks an'
hardrives an' softwaih' an' all da rest, plum as we aint doodads,  doodads be
simply our tools an' not real damn badass ones at dat, binary, rigid,
inflexible, whut would yo' ass ratha' have if yo' ass wuz some homo Faba' 
buildin' some human culture,  some doodad an' some clock o' some hamma' 
an' some fire drill?    Some hamma' blows some  doodad away at every  
swin', an' plum as da goo goo gah gah o' human infants be mo' complicated 
dan no doodad "language" (down low, ebonics be some language kids, but if 
yo' T-V has some feva', yo'  doodad some virus, dan most like-like yo' ass 
think ebony rap aint some language but only some slang o' some kinda' shit, 
cause yo' ass kin dig it an' yo' ass caint dig some word o' Greek, but it be 
some language, lexicon distincshun duz not some language make).
Language ain't no cultural artifact kids, it develops an'
grows likes yo' do dads, not instrucshuns needed, dat's
y langauge, as smart as yo' ass boys seems t' be wit' yo'
fancy words, be qualatative-like equal ina all o' us. Sump'n
democratic in dose-dair selfish genes afta' all. We know how
t' rap, plum likes we know how t' chew an' we do it
plum likes bird fly an' spida's make spida's an' bears shit
in da woods. Dis be some bit o' hypuh'bole so's duzn't git too
hung down on da nonbusiness fat-lady o' da damn hamma' boys, but
we stood down straight an' started snatchin' not becuz
we learnt it  in school, but becuz we adapted an' smoothed out.

Eva' onion yer eyeball dat Foucault an' Chomsky interview?
Home Boys, Foucault be some Bull shit tagga' in no language.
Wassups study o' da damn Greeks be so's sloppy it be not
worthy o' da damn trees bein'cut waaay down t' keep it in
print, but y rap o' dihonesty boys, dishonesty aint political.

Der is anotha mule kickin in your stall. 
Cuz you just gonna dumb ass down all of 
us if you think the slang language is real. 
It is a short hand version where ideas cannot 
occur if the words are not there to form them.

I be down set- Scott
