No writer in history was able to master the complexities and nuances involved in writing in Ebonics, so no.
Levi Thomas
I'm amazed that nice lady knows the word verbatim, and knows how to use it correctly.
Chase Barnes
The novel Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace has a great chapter written mostly in ebonics.

Writing is the pasttime of introverts and shut-ins who are predisposed to not writing in the short-handed language of socialites

No thanks. I couldn't care less about the Twitter ramblings of crackwhore strippers.
Nathan Harris
What a funny story.
Juan Mitchell

Too bad it was done lazily with Gizoogle. An actual version by a linguist who had studies AAVE would have been a lot more interesting (and probably still funny in a racist way).
Jaxson Diaz
that was actually worth my time

Hey, look, Elon Musk, the smartest man in the world is here to disabuse us of the canard that all regional dialects (like Scottish, for example) are not Ebonics.
Oliver Flores
The Color Purple.
Christopher Jackson
Yeah, started this recently and came here to post this. Faulkner's weirder than that, though, Go Down Moses in particular is bizarre
Andrew Kelly
'Cos it's fake as fuck, as confirmed by the other "stripper" 2 days later.
Only reason this shit got any attention was because HuffPo/ NYMag/ Buzzfeed/ The Guardian/ every other shit-tier-"left" rag loved the idea of some strong independent coloreds rehashing Spring Breakers without the satire and with more "OMG Yas Qween" scenes.
Journalism in 2015.
Amazing thing's that sites like Complex picked up on and bought into it, and still have the audacity to say that regular media are the ones stereotyping.
Benjamin Young
This would actually make a great movie adaptation.
Samuel Brooks

Outside of Walter Mosley, you are either reading extreme parody or phd level intellectual masturbation.
