I have never noticed Jessie using Ebonics, except when he wanted to, but it
is very possible he uses "AX" etc. Ebonics is very real, and is a problem
that needs to be addressed.

Comedy can be a very effective tool when addressing serious issues. I
wonder why Gould and Harry have failed to hear Ebonics on TV, in movies, on
hip hop and videos and in the real world. Is it possible that they are the
racist?

The problem with this "joke" is that it perpetuates a myth that black
people are unable to enunciate well. Look at Tim's comment in this
thread. Jesse Jackson is very well spoken, but Tim was quick to hang
this demeaning racial stereotype on Jackson.

And people think that Bush is a bad speaker.

Jesse uses phrases like "AX" for "ask"
and "Ed-a-casin" instead of education.....

BTW, did you ever watch much black rap or hip-hop videos? If not, you
should....Now theres a true lesson in proper vernacular and grammar.
