La Shawn Barber's Corner -- Ebonics In Anti-Bush Ads: "Anti-Bush advertisements for the general population assume an intelligent and inquisitive audience. The "black ads' don't.
My opinion on this? I think the use of 'black English', or whatever it's called, in the media targeting blacks is demeaning. But obviously most blacks either aren't upset about it or don't care. I suppose Madison Avenue and all the others portray blacks as perennial slang-speakers for the same reason John Kerry can get away with pushing increased government dependency and subsidized housing to a crowd of blacks."
