Ebonics is a dialect that is not spoken by every black person. Some choose to avoid it entirely in favor for Standard English. Possibly because they know that the majority of Americans don't speak it. If the total of African Americans in the U.S. equals 14% of all Americans, then those black Americans that speak Ebonics total less than 10% of all Americans. If you wish to communicate with the other 90% of Americans that don't speak Ebonics, Standard English is the dialect you need. It is also the dialect that you need for academics and employment. While some black people can code switch, some can not. In the inner cities some people have difficulty with Standard English and fail at pronouncing words and expressing phrases in a way that would be considered correct for standard English. They have difficulty reading and writing Standard English. Ebonics won't help them to graduate or to secure a good job. As most jobs require that you have proficiency at reading, writing and speaking the common dialect which is Standard English. So no matter how you feel about Ebonics, you should absolutely know Standard English and teach it to your children if you want them to have every advantage in life. To not do so will definitely put them at a disadvantage.
