@Adonis358 No i mean African American. Only the players I named are ethnically (atleast half) African American. The rest aren't. my point is that half of the usmnt isn't African American.
@seaofknees_@mxtth3wxx@proletharryat Ok lol. So yeah, let's say im just talking ( I am) and people worldwide don't use ain't. Im just tryna say that If a person in France, South Korea, or Nigeria hears "ain't," they are visualizing an American speaker 99% of the time. Because of Black America's pop culture influence
@cari_jhel@columba_lovetxt one of the only positive cultural/linguistic influences”
right so I’m supposed to believe this was said innocently lol? If it was, my fault
@IfuckSandCastle@cari_jhel@columba_lovetxt lol she just tried to shit on my people by being condescending like humans worldwide ain’t talking like us and copying how we speak English. whatchu mean “Who peed in your cereal”?
@seaofknees_@mxtth3wxx@proletharryat Fs, so when people worldwide use the word ‘ain’t’, do you think they’re usin it in a British English way or a Black American way.? We both know it’s the latter. It’s just not associated with The UK
@NicolandriaU@mxtth3wxx@proletharryat saying “ain’t” is extremely British because of its origins doesn’t hold up. Its current usage is overwhelmingly American, while British English rarely utilize it callin it “extremely British” is just inaccurate by present day linguistic standards
@NicolandriaU@mxtth3wxx@proletharryat reinterpretation is exactly how words evolve. So yes, it evolved. In linguistics language evolution relies heavily on a mechanism called reanalysis. Why are yall fighting what linguist have already established?
@Alexf1803@proletharryat Originally, 'ain't' only meant isn't or haven't (present). Black America evolved it by making it also mean didn't (past). All you had to do is look at Wikipedia
