I have to say I'm a bit offended that you think this is how black people speak. I hope you know that not all black people speak the same way or dres the same or listen to the same music. Being a teacher in many different school districts (including a black inner city school) I can tell you that poor grammar is spoken by people from all racial and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Your child is just learning how to talk. Most young children's speech is not grammatically correct. It is up to us as parents to correct them so they learn proper english. Most teens talk in some sort of slang. Whether it's phrases like, "my bad", "sweet", or "I feel you." This is normal and totally okay in my book as long as they CAN speak correctly when not with friends.

I would just hate for my kids to say something wrong and have another parent assume my kids speaks like that because he's black when really it's because he's three.
