as a non-black non-american person seeing the discourse on aave it's actually easy to understand (i didn't even research much yet bcuz i think it's common sense so feel free to correct me plz)
short thread 🧵
This AAVE discourse just proves to me that a lot of non-black ppl resent the fact that some of the stuff they like to consume/say comes from or is inspired by black ppl, who they see as their lessers
So they deny, play dumb, or say black ppl are villains who forced it upon them
“we all hate you gringos”
*stares at their profile picture of an american celebrity, then scrolls through their tweets about american culture while casually misusing aave*
It's very calculated the way y'all are refusing to say black American in these tweets. Because if you say what's actually happening “BLACK AMERICANS call out people misusing THEIR DIALECT while actively hating on BLACK AMERICANS ” you see how ignorant and arrogant y'all are being
"you're american before you're black in our eyes" is an insane sentiment because when you first look at someone you immediately take note of their skin tone, their gender, get a closer look? their features. they speak? their accent. You will forever be black before any of these.
As a non-black im failing to understand why these are the takes you guys keep coming up with? From my perspective, black people simply want their influence to be acknowledged & not ridiculed. Their point is you speak down on “Americans” all day, but speak like us. That’s it.
I’m gonna be honest, European moots some of you are being very obtuse surrounding this ebonics/aave conversation and it’s disappointing. I thought you guys were smarter than this, tbh.
Black Americans are still Americans lmao you guys acting like you're victims when you're all complicit in why that orange man is running in office and bombing other countries.
Like im not an american nor have i ever been there but i know from my experience in my country that racism against black people is very rampant,teenagers literally say the n-word proudly and spout racist rhetoric here
That racism is also rooted in every day life (colorism)
One day u people will understand that posting shit like this will only attract weirdos but sadly you're too ignorant to see that
You literally dont realize that by doing this you're downplaying the racism against black people in every country.
Things to say to an American:
-i will use y'all.
-imagine a burger.
-sell me this racism
-i will use your slang
-you are not the only country in the world
