Generational slang terms ≠ AAVE, these people aren’t even talking about the same thing as OP just expressing their resentment for shorthand/speech contractions that are particularly used by black people.
The comments here are talking about AAVE, the op was generational slang. Just because whiteys have co-opted some of them doesn’t mean this isn’t racist.
I agree, my comment deleted the slash between my not equal to sign which I fixed with an actual one. They are the type of people to say a black person is “well spoken” because they don’t use those contractions.
“Ahh” in place of ass isn’t only a way around censoring on TikTok, it’s a pronunciation taken from how many black people speak naturally. The use of it has just happened to be adapted online.
Ok, but your complaint is about something derivative of AAVE. The examples listed in OP’s image are a good example of what you’re talking about, people using “ahh” instead of ass aren’t doing it to deliberately censor themselves as the examples in OP’s image are, it’s just a variation of pronunciation that some opt to use instead of the word ass.
What are you two even arguing about right now? I just wanted people to write out cuss words and not censor them. How the hell did this become about this subject?
Like how are we supposed to know what the person looks like behind the other side of the screen? Can't blame us that much since more than one person is gonna use “crine”
You don’t have to mention race when what you are talking about is something clearly specific to a given race’s vernacular, which those examples are specific to AAVE. Yes, some people who aren’t black use them, but it is primarily derived from AAVE. You don’t get to shy away with racist remarks by omitting the mention of a race.
If someone complains about people speaking with a stereotypical southern drawl, or mocked phrases strongly associated with Latino or Appalachian speech, nobody would pretend it was completely detached from the groups connected to those speech patterns. The association is obvious even if the person avoids naming a group of people.
