turns out, reading voraciously, moving your body, loving people without keeping score, protecting your solitude, chasing nothing but your own growth, and occasionally staying out too late with people who make you laugh until it hurts is not a bad way to build a life.
It’s called Ebonics NOT AAVE.
AAVE is a misnomer coined by a white man and a Caribbean man. You’re practicing erasure of our culture by using that term.
Secondly, I don’t give a flying fuck if an Asian can speak Ebonics, we are boycotting them because they are justifying murdering our kids.
This isn’t about their proficiency in EBONICS, this is about protecting our children. If you can’t be on code with that, you’ve lost the plot.
What the fuck are some of yall not understanding about what’s going on here?
Well kids, a story from an old man.
Did you know that back in the day we had rent parties? People actually threw a party at their house to get rent money donated. But it wasn't just a party to help pay the rent. It was the community coming together to help someone on hard times.
Many people still don’t realize that literacy isn’t just about being able to read. It’s about being able to comprehend, evaluate, and apply the information in front of you. The gap between the two is becoming increasingly alarming.
Would I be jumped if I said, a lot of these men didn’t grow up with fathers (or father figures) so non sexual affection from an adult male feels foreign or “icky” to them.
Then they label shit as “gay” and pass this mentality to other men (even ones that did have father figures) and now we have generations of men that define their masculinity (not by protecting and providing) but differentiating themselves from women and “the feminine” as much as humanly possible. Even if it leaves them lonely and depleted of connection.
