The statement "With African American, it's "ebonics""

Ebonics is an abomination and while the vast numbers of folks that speak it are black the vast majority of African Americans certainty do not use Ebonics on every day conversation. 

Oh and I'm a white middle class republican male who makes about 6 figures and I'm insulted.
