Deez Wing Niz-utz!
Many thanks to reader Steve for sending us “Gizoogle”, the official ebonics translation webpage. I tested its capabilities by having it translate a Kaye Grogan column. Here is the result:
Send in tha clowns
Kaye GroganWell, wizzy . . You gotta check dis shit out yo. . tha three ring circus is `bout ta begin featur’n Judge J-to-tha-izzohn Roberts, n tha Judiciary Committee . They call me tha black folks president. So witout gangsta ado . know what im sayin?: “Send in tha Clowns.”
Start’n wit Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specta, a moderate ta liberal (mostly liberal) Republizzle friznom Pennsylvania ? he is prepared ta dance or should I say “tiptoe” around tha abortion issue by steppin’ U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Trippin’ Jizzy Roberts, if he thinks tha Constitizzles has a “right ta privacy” clause ridin’ in mah double R. Come on now Mr . You’se a flea and I’m the big dogg. Playa jiznust ask Judge Roberts how he feels `bout abortion n be done wit it . Im crazy, you can’t phase me!
Y’know what? I think that actually makes more sense than anything she’s ever written.
Now, let’s put Gizoogle to the ULTIMATE TEST and see if it can handle Pastor Swank:
REPLACE REHNQUIST Wit WOMB BABY DEFENDER
By J. Griznant Swank, Jr.Chief Justice William H n shit. Rehnquist M-to-tha-izzust be replaced wit a shot calla of tha unborn fo shizzle. Doggy Stylin’ less is America perpetratin’ playa.
OK, so maybe nothing can make sense of Pastor Swank, but I tried, dammit. And you gotta admit, “J. Griznant Swank” is a pretty catchy nickname.
That be fly, yo.
Or is that the shiznit?
Look, I’m half-white, all right?…
I for one applaud Justice Roberts’ repeated assertions that he will uphold and enforce the Constitizzles.
But will he get all up S-to-tha-calizzle’s grill on privacizzle?
It really works if you read it with an “Ali G” sort of inflection.
Someone needs to Photoshop Kaye into a backwards cap, huge sunglasses, and an enormous Flava Flav stopwatch.
haha yes, I was reading WND with this, and I thought “Sadly, No! would love this!!” The best one I found was on Agape Press about some GWU Professor getting fired for being too frank in an elective sex-ed course. Absolutely hilarious. I’ll be reading right-wing blogs with this permanently on from now on.
And yes, Kaye makes much more sense now
hizzle, m’nizzle
i can see ms. grogan writing a column exactly like that.
Use of ethnic colloquialisms for comedic effect by the dominant ethnic majority is the modern equivalent of black-face. On the other hand, adoption of the language and grammar styles of minorities gives them power in shaping language, and therefore some control over social constructions. That said, ‘crunk’ is still a pretty sueful word.

Yes, yes, I know. Not entirely PC. But really, how can you not laugh looking at that picture of Kaye Grogan next to the words, “Well, wizzy . . You gotta check dis shit out yo. . tha three ring circus is `bout ta begin featur’n Judge J-to-tha-izzohn Roberts, n tha Judiciary Committee.”
Kaye be doin’ a whole lotta finga snappin’.

Kaye probably just figured out how to run a VCR and
maybe she just rented Steve Martin’s “The Jerk” for the first time.
Bet she has a black keyboard, loves black panties and lipstick, black dress and nylons, and thinks she’s gotten out of the 60s…
Or maybe she’s just a bigotted jerk!

This makes me think of the Tupac poetry book that came out just after he died . . .
