This language discourse on the tl is so funny bc. It is completely optional to tweet in English no one is holding any of you at gun point to do that so
The only people who suffer consequences from using aave are black people. Everybody else can run that shit into the ground and make memes out of it and have a whole career speaking and acting like us lol.
why is everyone acting like america invented speaking english… you guys weren’t forced to learn english because of americans. you were forced to speak english because BRITAIN COLONIZED HALF THE FUCKING GLOBE. INCLUDING AMERICA. IF YOU WANT TO GET MAD AT SOMEONE GET MAD AT THEM
It’s people with English as a second language in school saying they “learned it online” and would never speak aave irl but will use it to argue with black ppl on twitter 😭I get it to a certain extent but just admit that you’re also absorbed into imitation
this aave discourse is really jarring bc idk why europeans/non native english speakers are acting like they are devoid of choice when it comes to how they speak. you are choosing to take from a dialect of people you don’t like and you’re rightfully being questioned as to why.
@artjinni08@ThatComicFan3 K if i decided to learn your language today and i picked a random dialect, then i started butchering and missusing words from this dialect and u told me to stop or to just speak the standard way and i said no….what would u think?
