A novelty book consisting merely of a list of silly vocabulary words. E.g., "discard" means "this card." There must be a better Ebonics book out there.

In a rather obvious parody that was slapped together with the same speed as the Killian documents, and probably with the same default settings, we have half the chuckles we paid for. If you are amused by this book's title you could, quite frankly, drink a six pack of beer and write this yourself and probably be just as funny. If you have any half way funny friends you could write a better book than this, probably with the same six pack of beer.

Ebonics itself, and the schadenfreude it inspires in author "I. B. White," is tragically beyond parody and firmly in the territory of pitiable. If it was a cultural artifact inherently capable of being the basis for humor, it would need to be formed in simultaneously more deft and cruel hands, such as the late Michael O'Donoghue.

I be trippin if you be buyin dis book fo hew-mo lik dis, fo sho.

After buying and reading this book, I magically transformed from an old, fat white guy to a young, thin, black man. Well worth the money. Now off I go to increase racial awareness.

well worth the 6 bucks! excellent book, true fa

I just spent 12.50 to have this gift wrapped and sent to my friend in Texas as a joke.

I have never really read this book, i just think that a book with such a hella cool title should have a higher rating. Long live me!
