Honestly, it depends who you speak it to. With people like myself, it would make them fit in better and stick out less like a sore thumb in a neighborhood full of blacks and Latinos. When a guys comes in and does not even try to identify or be like us, they come off as thinking they are better or being more of an outsider than someone we can respect and identify with. I have two masters degrees but around friends and family in the community I speak ebonics. In my professional work setting or a school, I speak proper English.
