Should Yahoo! Answers have a separate language site for Ebonics?

There are now sites for Italian, Spanish, French, German, Indian languages, various Far Eastern languages and more to follow, we hear.

    No. Ebonics isn't even a language, it is slang, and very few people speak that the same way. When LA public schools was debating the same question, the strongest opposition came from the black leadership there. They understood that by teaching things in that language, the kids would be totally unprepared for anything in real life.

    No. That would divide us down. The basic idea is to get answers from all the people across the globe. So, we shouldnt think about dividing people on any basis.
