I haven't answered your question because it is irrelevant to my point, but here's an example: "That student is really articulate for a 5th grader".
You also really should understand that by repeating your claim that black culture "promotes improper grammar", you're making my case. You've reinforced it multiple times now. Do you honestly not understand that you're promoting a stereotype that suggests that black culture is inherently less educated by saying it promotes improper grammar when you say that?
How can you quote a professor of African American studies from an Ivy League school saying “Al Sharpton is incredibly articulate,”, and deny that their culture promotes improper grammar. it was such a problem that schools started setting up special programs specifically for black children who were raised speaking African American Vernacular English.
You can argue all you want to about "style", but the fact is that proper grammar is still a necessary part of functioning in 99% of the jobs that require communicating with clients, other businesses/agencies, co-workers, or supervisors/management.
