In my Linguistics 203 class, we had two classes when we had to learn the 'Ebonics' dialect of English. Aka "black" talk.

"I seen a movie."
"We was out at da mall last night wif some friends."

Apparently, there are consistencies in the way that "Ebonics" ruins English, to the point that their way of speak has been legitimized as a dialect of English. There are even teachers in regions of the Deep South who teach using this language, so as to better communicate to their students.

I find this ridiculous.
