To Speak or Not to Speak "Correct English"

This semester I signed up to take an African American Studies course. Needless to say, this is one of the most interesting classes that I have taken within my college career. It is a course on the validity of Broken/Black English better known as Ebonics.

I find it interesting to know that many scholars weigh in on this subject and come from both sides (right v. wrong). We thus far have talked about where it comes from to is it anyone's fault.

In class we also have a wide range of opinions. I just want to know what other people think about this subject.

Are you one that thinks that people who speak any form of "incorrect" English should be viewed as uneducated or inferior?
