If there is one idea that most agree on, it is that if a person speaks AAVE, and only AAVE, then his job opportunities will be limited. Why? Some believe that AAVE itself is holding users of the language back, but isn't it holding them back because it is not valued in wider society and specifically the job market. By blaming it on the language, wider society evades responsibility for creating barriers for speakers of AAVE to attain jobs. They evade the fact that those who use AAVE are looked down upon and judged as unintelligent and uneducated because they do not speak "Standard English" (a term used by all but defined by none).
