Why does it sound racist…? Like I know it probably isn’t but still.

u/Substantial_Row_7108 15d ago

Why would a Black person call themselves a cracker??? Tim Scott, Tiger Woods or Byron Donalds maybe. But generally, NO.

Because it is racist. Many black American do not speak properly so rather than calling it out or trying to fix it (also risking offending 🙄) they labeled said improper speaking as ebonics and then (since anything and everything's offensive) they relabeled it to African American Vernacular English. It's just hood slang. That's all you have to know.

And why do you think most black Americans can’t speak properly?

AAVE is an actual dialect of English. You are being racist saying it's improper. It's a different dialect.

No I'm not. Saying "das my baby daddy cuh fuq u mean twin" is not a dialect of English. How is that racist? There's history on the things im saying. Is truth racism? Y'all just want to censor everything and acknowledge nothing.

u/Wyrdnisse 9d ago

Youre legitimately being racist right now lmfao

You can look things up for free on that internet machine because it would have taken you five seconds to double check that yes, AAVE is a dialect of English.

I also have the credentials to tell you that you're full of shit, especially considering I used to study the history of this language in grad school.

u/Important-Forever-87 9d ago

Just because big media says it's a dialect that doesn't make it a dialect. It's broken, improper English

1

u/Wyrdnisse 9d ago

Hwæt!

YOU'RE Actually speaking improper English imo, the French ruined this language a thousand years ago and the grammar and poetry of old English had far more utility in grammar not being based on word order and instead using a case system more similar to Latin.

Anyway my master's degree and half a PhD of research on the Peterborough Chronicle says you're wrong. I sure hope you don't use the pronoun 'she' because we stole that from the Danish going into middle English and the word 'heo/hie' was initially the proper way to say it

you're either a bot or a conservative and idk what is more embarrassing. if anyone real sees this feel free to ask about my translation of Beowulf

u/Important-Forever-87 9d ago

Are you basically implying that the only proper English is old English?

u/Important-Forever-87 9d ago

I wouldn't say I'm conservative but I'm not going to pretend that improper speaking is a dialect of english. It's only accepted so that they "stop getting corrected" and we can just pretend it's fine and normal. Look it up
