i'm not black so my opinion on this really doesn't matter but i still wanted to share as a white person it's really annoying to see other white people misuse aave because they NEVER get any other type of "slang" wrong like just stfu and stop embarrassing ourselves i can't even imagine how annoying it must be for yall
"slay" "queen" "period" "yas" "you ate" dances, lashes, nails, hairstyles, fashion, music. etc etc. i could go on for HOURS these are all terms that were made by black women. then used in the gay community. and then white women (who have the most societal "palatability" ) hopped on the bandwagon and made these things viral you denying it means nothing because all of what im saying has literally been proven. most of modern pop culture can be traced back to the black community
language is something that is shared and picked up from who you surround yourself with and luckily segregation for the most part doesn’t exist anymore, allowing language between white people and poc to be shared. lash extensions originated in asia, specifically japan and korea, long nails can be dated all the way back to egypt in 5000bc, and the ming dynasty in china where long nails were a symbol of status. acrylic was first used on finger nails by a male dentist, and gel nails were first seen
hairstyles, specifically different types of braids are something that all women of all cultures across the world share, and in regards to fashion and music, i would never get mad at my best friend for learning a song i discovered or wearing an outfit similar to mine, bc it should be seen as a sign of appreciation and fondness
legally you need full evidence on them to get convicted. since we wanted to go back to hundreds of years ago africans wanted to imprison other africans and sell them but no its only all the whites faults as if they didn’t have a toll on SELLING the slaves. but no its only white people right?
being locked up has its correlation to slavery hundreds of years ago. i’m proving my point on how it’s not just whites who were encouraging racism. i have never said it is valid or reliable. but a whole court case can’t stand on a he say she say. you need to have documented proof which most cases do.
Right? Like, it’s clearly not an attack against white people, they’re not saying “fuck all white people I think they should all die” or anything like that. It’s totally normal that people in minority groups would want a space separate from the groups that have historically oppressed them. Damnit other white people get your shit together! You’re making us look even worse!
Hmm. But if a man said the same thing about you being a woman, that would be a problem wouldn’t it? Or do you not think that men should care about sexual violence? “I shouldn’t care about sexual violence because it’s not my fault that I wasn’t born female 🤷♂️” see how that works? 🤗
You think African ethic groups enslaving other African groups through a system that still allotted rights to slaves including being able to work off their debt and be free one day and the right to marry is equal to a system of race-based chattel slavery that explicitly targeted another group on the basis of race rather than rivalry? You’re an idiot.
If you live long enough, you’ll be in a VERY multicultural society. I hope you are one day placed in a situation where the person in charge of you is Black. Whether in the hospital, the nursing home, or wherever; and that you make them aware of your opinions on Black people and receive the care that you deserve. 😘
Don’t even try girl a lot of white people IM WHITE BTW get all triggered and defensive about these specific convos bc it attacks their privilege it attacks things they’ve never seen or experienced it’s invisible to them and they don’t wanna acknowledge it bc they’re comfortable where they’re at, let them be ignorant bc THIS WHOLE COMMENT SECTION should’ve smacked them upside the head already and had them think “huh wait a minute let me take a moment to step back and research”
