If you teach your child Ebonics to fit in with the black community it will backfire on you. It will be seen as disrespectful and condescending. They will be puzzled as to why someone who comes from a middle class background would speak in that manner.

If you truly wish your child to be comfortable with AA's in general the goal should be making the child comfortable in his/her skin and comfortable around other AA's.... speaking Ebonics is not a good tool for making a child comfortable with AA’s. It will end up alienating the child more than anything.

Ebonics does not equal AA culture.
