***OT on Black English*** Is that ebonics? Anyway, surely it is 'African American' not 'Black English'. What are 'white suburbanite OGs'? The 'OGs' part of it is what I don't understand. Why don't 'white suburbanites' get a capital W for white but 'Black English' gets a capital letter for both? Why did 'OG's' get an apostrophe in the middle? Please don't tell me the answer to my questions is 'choice'.

PS: I suppose Black English is not the same sort of thing as Black Humour or black humor.
