That is such an ignorant thing to say! My God! You can't help what you grow up around, simple as that. No one really speaks in "correct English" if you want to get down to it. Sure, the majorty of people speak differently than Ebonics, but I've never heard any of the artists in question here speak Ebonics, soo....? Bill Cosby does have somewhat of an accent and DOES speak sometimes in what could, by some people, be considered a "black" type of accent the way he phrases his words and animates himself. No one is perfect, no one speaks perfectly, everyone is different. The sooner you learn to accept differences in people the better.
