If you were in school i...Um, no, you couldn't. If you were in school in ATL before the Cleavers hit primetime, you were in a segregated school. Total immersion is a necessity in mastering the nuances of Ebonics.

Back...Moogie, Glenn, and Andy: re: June Cleaver... Back when Airplane! first came out I remarked on the fact that there wasn't one single black kid (or blacks of ANY sort, if memory serves) to be seen on "Leave It to Beaver," so how'd she DO that?<br /><br />Andy: I've known people that can switch back and forth like your co-workers, too. That's an amazing skill. Srsly.<br /><br />Moogie: I saw a couple of other posts on the subject yesterday, too. And one posted the same clip I did...<br /><br />re: Little Rock public schools. I went to public school in Hotlanta for a brief while, so you'd think I could speak jive, no? No. That was before Ebonics, when everyone was expected to speak English. That was also slightly before the Cleavers hit prime-time, too. Yeah: I'm OLD.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-1048891744093450912010-08-24T07:53:44.130-06:002010-08-24T07:53:44.130-06:00Heh.

I do wish that June Cleaver had been wearing her pearls, though!Moogie Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05665429537064900337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-58865790653870464052010-08-24T06:10:54.967-06:002010-08-24T06:10:54.967-06:00Yeah, June Cleaver was a multi-talented gal.
Buck...Yeah, June Cleaver was a multi-talented gal.<br /><br />Buck, being from Shreveport, and working many years in the retail business I am fluent in Ebonics. Fluent, I tell ya'.<br /><br />But, I'm so far out of the loop that the slang terms would ex me from doing this job well. However, a couple of my coworkers would be a perfect fit for this job. They are young people that can turn it off and on in an instant...it's amazing to watch.<br /><br />Totally ghetto one second, and then as white/square/professional as anybody the next.<br /><br />I'm gonna tell them about this job opportunity today.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-60351390559116989542010-08-23T20:42:26.703-06:002010-08-23T20:42:26.703-06:00And it was the Beaver's Mom!And it was the Beaver's Mom!Glenn Mark Casselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305109383344139028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-27451407848431425922010-08-23T20:24:01.982-06:002010-08-23T20:24:01.982-06:00Agreed on both counts, Lou.Agreed on both counts, Lou.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-45732692020024436992010-08-23T19:18:51.320-06:002010-08-23T19:18:51.320-06:00Those Airplane movies were hilarious.
