This may or may not be happening in Britain, probably but not as much as here... I know about ebonics and all but I swear it's evolved.
In my school, basically all the African Americans (No I don't hate them, I am friends with several blacks), in my school have come up with their own dictionary... I think. I'm just going to list the words below that they have either made up or altered the version of it.
Skate - Alternate version of Sike
Bum - Hot/Sexy/Good
Swig - Ugly
Truck - Ugly/Bad
Fry - Alternate version of Sike
Dead - Alternate version of Sike
Those are usually the words used most, however they usually make up two, then make up two new ones and forget about the last two. I heard a couple of people who were in training for teachers that they actually had to learn ebonics to be required to teach here. (doubt it's true). But why can't you just speak English? I mean it doesn't make any sense. Just recently our school created the "African American Student Union" in which all Africa American students can join, it's purposely for blacks. I boy named Ben from our school, whose white, replied with "Where's my student union?" all of blacks around at the time said "Nigga, every other group is your group." So because the majority of the people in the group are white, it means it's a "white" group? Why are there black only colleges but if someone made a white only college they would get crucified? Why is it that experienced white people can't get a job because they hire an un-experienced black man afraid that if they don't they will raise a racist report or such, or even vise-versa. The same goes for women in this country as well.
I'm pretty sure this is the opposite of what Martin Luther King Jr wanted.
Maybe it's just me?
