Well you can tell if a person is black or white even though they do speak ebonics. You do know that don't you?

It's not ebonics, or anything like that. Most of the time, you can just tell. I don't know how or why, you can. It's not bad or anything. I'm not saying that black people all speak ebonics, or incorrect English or mispronounce words. Not at all. It's just something I've always been able to pick up on, even over the phone. I don't know why. Like, you can tell Eminem is white even though he talks the way he does.
