I once worked with this guy who was a middle upper class black guy, his parents were both educated and working professionals (lawyer & doctor), he was well educated (university degree), and he spoke perfect english.

He would always speak perfect english unless suddenly he happened to be around another black person, then he would immediately begin speaking 100% ebonics. As soon as the other black person was gone, he would immediately begin speaking perfect english again. It was an interesting phenomenon to witness.
