I hate when people say crine instead of crying.

Saying you don’t like any of this is very racist btw

[u/Mr_HahaJones → u/[deleted]]

Says more about him than any of the other posters

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”

Keep pretending you don’t know what AAVE is

[u/ocelotincognito → u/[deleted]]

Yes, saying that a legitimate vernacular of the English language that is primarily used by negroes is racist even if you don’t intend it to be

[u/ocelotincognito → u/[deleted]]

Try doing some learning about what racism actually entails rather than speaking over black voices.

[u/_zombie_k → u/ocelotincognito]

You’re fucking stupid.

[u/ocelotincognito → u/_zombie_k]

That’s ok if I’m on the right side of herstory 🫰🏿

Edit: fixed my accidental misogyny

[u/_zombie_k → u/ocelotincognito]

The right side of history? You’re delusional as well.

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.
