Ebonics/AAVE is truly an undervalued language, the idioms, patois and social dialects are so deep and historical but also creative and incredibly adaptable! Code Switching back and forth between Standard English and AAVE in the middle of my predominantly white English classroom and watching white students get whiplash from how sudden the changes are is exhilarating. Meeting with a group of my fellow students of color in between our classes and immediately dripping back into comfortable AAVE from the rigidity of Standard English is so refreshing and relaxing.
