Default How come

You can't refer to Ebonics AKA Ghetto talk as talking black.

Why must you refer to it as urban speech? Last time i checked living in a city didn't equate speaking Ebonics.

because it is saying that all african americans talk like that, now when you say urban, it just means that in big cities some people talking like that, it doesn't force it into a group.

If I can't degrade you based on race, I can degrade you based on gender.
If I can't degrade you based on gender, I can degrade you based on religion.
If I can't degrade you based on religion, I can degrade you based on race.

And the world keeps turning.

You're misplacing the term ebonics in that case. Ebonics is effectively the vernacular of a "city," and is definately correlated to the African American population (rightly or wrongly).

The dialect of a small southern town doesn't really apply in this case ( though I do know what you're talking about).

I just did it like you said for double confirmation.
The watch was on the left hand.
I wore a shirt with text on it. The letter on my left being a Y.
The watch was next to the Y in the mirror, which appeared to be on my right hand.

Conclusion, I am an idiot, please accept my apologies.

You are forgiven, my dear Admiral
