Wikipedia: Ebonics
Ebonics is a term that was originally intended to refer to the language of all people descended from enslaved Black Africans, particularly in West Africa, the Caribbean, and North America.

The term became widely known in the U.S. in 1996 due to a controversy over its use by the Oakland School Board.
