NP Proposition 227 (was Re: NP Ebonics)

[Malignd]

<<I believe the notion that "Afro-Americans are
genetically programmed to speak Ebonics" stems from a
misunderstanding of linguistic terminology that is
addressed in the link that MalignD thoughtfully
provided>>

It is explained there and I judge, from the
explanation that it was an example of back-pedalling.

If not, what does it say for the linguists who put
forward the Proposition that they weren't able
correctly to state what they meant?
