People getting shit for using AAVE is the most insane shit I've ever seen (1 Viewer)

[maruberry]

Aka essentially using black slang.....
Not using derogatory terms.... just.... slang....

That shit is just insane, should I get mad at any russian who speaks estonian bcs they used to oppress us and tried to kill off the estonian language?
Ofc fucking not, that would be insane.

Shit has gone so far that you will get shit for using words other ppl invented, words that aren't even meant to insult!
what. the. actual. fuck

Not to mention once again.... why does this extend to EVERYONE in the world, even the people who themselves have precisely nothing at all to do with oppressing black people and whose ancestors have precisely nothing at all to do with oppressing black people.

EDIT: Welcome to the questionable world of Maruberry political-ish rants. The worth of my opinions is up for debate

The whole we own this you can't use this, really has to stop.
Last I checked we all share this world together.

singling out people is just the worse thing.
It's not like people are using it in a bad way.
But to exclude people just for saying it alone, that's stupid.

Like yeah, I get getting mad if they are using it to mock
I get being mad if that person is extremely racist, but still uses those terms....

but just a flat no, you can't use this????

Is just.... insane

Yeah it's not good and is a toxic mindset to have, well and truly.
We have enough hate in the world already. we don't need a pile up of further hate.

But like talking as smbdy who learnt english mostly from the internet.... I'm not going to look up the origin of every word or slang I learn! I don't actively learn them in the way that I sit down and study them.

I see other ppl using it and pick it up as well, often without even really realizing where I picked it up from.

It's not about oppression but it really makes no sense, y'all don't do it right and 99% it's used as "meme language" and like it's a joke. So much as so that people genuinely think it's "internet slang". Some people go the extra mile and basically base their whole personalities off of "sassy black people" and "ghetto"

Also why does one adopt another dialect for funsies? That's very weird

Bcs I never learnt one specific english dialect!

The slang and words I use are from all over the place, at times I use the english spelling and then american the next time!

If I find a word I like, I use it, bcs NOTHING of this language was native for me!

It depend on how u use it if ur using it to impersonate a black person then that a problem if ur just saying it cause it popular or u just say that then what the prob.

[Belgizen]

I said this before and I'll say it again: in a few years, you are not even allowed to speak another language other than your mother tongue cuz it'll be seen as "offensive"
It already happened

In general, 99% don't have an issue with using some AAVE in a normal way. The problem is using it as meme way where you're basically mocking and clowning black people, overusing incorrectly or using it as a means to talk to black people gets a swift side-eye.
Some people put stereotypical black personalities on like it's a new makeup style. It's weird and high-key creepy
