chabib said concisely in one post what I have been trying to convey in numerous half-assed ones. Kudos.

Wow, all this about my little teaching SAT prep to black kids post.

i'd suggest that you go to WBAI.org and find whatever podcasts are available for the program, "education at the crossroads." it's an afro-centric program on urban education. i like the show and listen to it almost every week, but whenever they discuss ebonics, i want to cry. it's a black perspective on education though and is interesting. the hosts are generally pretty hateful people though.
