ladybusiness. More story links with useful commentary there.
Also, via discussion of a story I didn't link because I'm not sure what I think of it yet, If Black English Isn't a Language, Then Tell Me, What Is? by James Baldwin in 1979.
ysobel .I kind of want to write a story where ... er, CW religion and religiously-motivated bigotry ...where someone dies and goes to ... pretty much what he imagined heaven would look like

Now, if this passion, this skill, this (to quote Toni Morrison) "sheer intelligence," this incredible music, the mighty achievement of having brought a people utterly unknown to, or despised by "history"--to have brought this people to their present, troubled, troubling, and unassailable and unanswerable place--if this absolutely unprecedented journey does not indicate that black English is a language, I am curious to know what definition of language is to be trusted.
