Your comment, "I might as well try to sing rap music with a person using "eubonics" as a means of communication," may not have been meant to be racially motivated, but your choice of example might be viewed by some as just that. Especially, by those readers of the African American community.
Your statement might seem to suggest that persons living in our cities urban areas are not capable of speaking Standard English. Although, you and I both know that is not the case, nor do I believe you meant it that way. And I did understand the meaning of your comment. Overcoming language barriers always present a challenge.
Other than that your position was "spot on."
