DEA Looking For People Who Can Translate "Ebonics" - The Snob Blog - Danielle Belton's The Black Snob

I just could not resist linking to this story. I do agree that not all black people can understand every single slang term out on the street. I know I don't. The article is interesting. I should have seen this one coming. I especially like the clip from "Airplane" embedded in the post. I wonder if the DEA ever saw this and decided it was a good idea.
