Who the fuck is they?  What the rules say and where language has evolved 
to are often two different things.  Regardless, you couldn't be more 
disingenuous or confused.  Using a small w for "white" has you rushing 
to the defense of such a thing, but someone on this group frequently 
using ebonics would have you crying like the bitch that you are.  Agree 
or disagree?
