I heard Will Smith refer to people who use this dialect as having the Ebonic Plague. [/ QUOTE ] Bill Cosby has been pretty outspoken as well.

Why is it so hard for a great number of black people to say the word "ask"? EDIT: Welcoming the the flood of "wow racist" remarks that will invariably come, despite every person on this forum knowing that the above statement is true. EDIT 2: Yes it does have to do with their black names. [/ QUOTE ]none of this makes sense to me.

Re: What is up?
i had a black history teacher in high school, he was a football coach and he was frickin' cool as hell but man he had that deep voice with a lisp that would have me crackin' up in class.
he said "hemisthpeer" instead of "hemisphere" he also said "duliesth ceasthar" instead of "julius ceasar"

This is the answer to your queston . (boring)
"Why is it so hard for a great number of black people to say the word "ask"? "
In the absence of an alternative, a child learns to speak in the particular dialect of her parents. If this dialect does not contain certain sounds, (e.g. "sk"), it will be more difficult for her to make those sounds than the ones she learned at an early age. "To' down... Awmos' level wif da groun'... " Truer words were never spoken.
