@dawn__141 Okay, fine. Be an obsessive fucking loser if that’s what you want, but don’t you dare sit here and act intellectually or culturally superior to Americans while dickriding us this fucking hard. You hate us so much yet somehow can’t stop talking about us. loser.
@sensrule19@dawn__141 I’m literally not being self-centered. This is what this specific conversation is about. You’re the one introducing an entirely different political argument into a conversation about Black American culture and AAVE, and then calling me self-centered because I’m telling you thats+
@eridianswag I genuinely cannot with you people. There are more Europeans complaining about “not being allowed” to say y’all than there are people actually telling Europeans they can’t say it. You keep bringing up one fucking tweet and pretending that’s the entire conversation when it isn’t+
@m_stormwitch@jltamair You keep making this about America as a whole when this conversation is specifically about Black Americans. America has different racial and cultural groups, and the people you’re arguing with are Black Americans. Like, what the fuck do you think the AA in AAVE stands for?+
@sensrule19@dawn__141 y’all genuinely think this shit is a fairy tale “overthrow the government” HOW?? you’re literally telling me, a regular Black American, to risk my fucking life over something I have no individual power to overthrow. I do everything I can within my own power to denounce what’s+
@yoonlokey You’re fucking stupid. You’re literally jumping through hoops to blame Americans for the fact that you are influenced by American culture. Nobody forced you to consume our music, copy our slang, wear our fashion, or engage with our art, yet somehow you’ve convinced yourself that+
@m_stormwitch@jltamair And that’s exactly why you should do your research before inserting yourself into a conversation. The tweet YOU’RE referring to was responding to another tweet claiming Americans shouldn’t listen to a song by an artist heavily influenced by Black Americans—that’s+
@Y00NDERLY ya’ll will say anything to avoid admitting that you’re influenced by Black American culture. and you want us to believe that you’re superior to us? that’s funny.
@dawn__141 you clearly jumped into a conversation you didn’t understand just to shit on Americans, because not once have you addressed the argument being made. you’re calling us unintelligent while demonstrating that you haven’t even bothered to understand what the conversation is about+
@unknows6849393 “privileged” in what sense, exactly? being American gives Black Americans certain privileges relative to people living in poorer or less stable countries, but that doesn’t erase the racial disadvantages we experience within America. you can’t point to the fact that we live in +
@tcgorillaz@dawn__141 do we though? because you keep talking about “Americans” like we’re a politically unified group who all support whatever the U.S. government does. criticizing the government and its foreign policy is not the same thing as saying every American personally supports it. and again,+
@jongseongstalli i would never tell you how you’re supposed to feel about your own culture or what you’re allowed to do with it. so why do you feel entitled to tell Black Americans how we’re supposed to feel about ours? you can disagree with us, but you don’t get to dismiss our+
@jltamair@m_stormwitch what i genuinely don’t understand is why, even after being educated about someone else’s culture, you still choose to be ignorant about it. and again, this is not about the word “y’all.” nobody is saying you’re racist for using it or that you’re not allowed to say it. you keep+
@dawn__141 and that’s a completely separate argument from the one being discussed. nobody said every criticism of America comes from jealousy or that Americans are above criticism. we’re talking about the specific contradiction of consuming Black American culture and AAVE while+
@rapfjsodjd26800@m_stormwitch i literally just did. the argument is that you’re consuming AAVE and Black American culture while simultaneously dismissing the people whose culture it is when they discuss its origins, context, or use. nobody is saying you’re not allowed to say “y’all.” the fact that you keep+
@lazylucyowo@m_stormwitch obviously it’s not.the point is that when you’re actively consuming a culture and a linguistic variety associated with a specific group of people, being aware of that history and still choosing to dismiss it is ignorant. you’re arguing over whether you’re “allowed” to say one+.
@jltamair@m_stormwitch you’re deliberately broadening the conversation from AAVE to “the English language” because it’s easier to argue against “Black Americans policing English” than it is to address why you consume Black American culture and AAVE so heavily while dismissing the people who created it.
@jongseongstalli you’re just another idiot deflecting from the overarching issue by focusing on the word “yall”. Like yall are choosing to be ingnorant atp.
