Ebonics?
Haha. At my middle school which was in the city area I still spoke normal. People respected that and I spent a lot of time with this kid who was Slavic and spoke "proper English", too. 

It is a melting pot. My family settled in a town called Suches, Ga before my parents met and had me in the Atlanta hospital which was the closest one in 2008, before moving closer to the city. I moved in and around, my worst experience was in Blairsville and Young hαɾɾιs. Which are 2 hours north of the city in the Blue Ridge mountains, mostly southern accents, significantly more white people and a number of Jєωιѕн families.

English has relatively simple grammar, no genders, fairly easy verb conjugations, and within broad limits, nobody really cares if your grammar isn't perfect, you'll be understood regardless.  The big kicker is the spelling.  It basically has to be memorized.  In a pinch, it can also be spoken at a pidgin level, which makes it even simpler.
