Proposition 227 (was Re: NP Ebonics)

[Malignd]

<<Debate it. It's a language. >>

You've throughout this thread made unsubstantiated
statements and, asked for cites, refused.

In the link I posted, it was noted that, among
linguists, the line between language and dialect is
fuzzy.

For nonprofessionals trying to discuss this
intelligently,  to claim these--

Ain't no white cop gonna put his hands on me.

Can't nobody say nothin' to dem peoples!

-- are examples of a language other than English, is
absurd on the face of it.

In any case, I'm getting nothing out of arguing this
with you.
