Nothing annoys me more then when people try to be smart asses and correct people when using aave

Aave comes in how someone forms sentences and in specific words

OH ALSO SE MEANS STANDARD ENGLISH LOL

Though aave is commonly used in the black community not every black individual uses it

In a lot of aspects it’s annoying to denote how someone speaks as incorrect or commonly called “ghetto” “That’s not how you speak” is common way I hear people when they aren’t used to hearing aave

An also common occurrence is seeing non black people mock it or use it incorrectly You don’t know how many times I see people abuse terms “I’m finna gonna” “It’s giving no” etc. If you aren’t familiar to aave just casually ask what something means- and don’t try to speak it because it will be very obvious if you don’t know and is embarrassing

It’s just like slang, how someone talks

It can sound like broken English but it’s how a lot of people talk

YEAH it was common for me in school for the teachers to correct kids on aave “that doesn’t even make sense” etc

Which in one aspect I get so when they write essays for employers and stuff they don’t get confused, but at the same time it does rub me the wrong way

HUH? If your saying that if using aave if your non black makes you racist I wouldn’t think so

Maybe some individuals would disagree but for the most part it’s fine A lot of aave has actually translated into common language for alot of people

It only really becomes questionable again if you mock it or try to “correct” it using it is fine after all language is shared through learning and how you are raised Though of course some words are cut off like really horrible slurs

I’M WHITE

I was exposed to it at a young age, less about trying to “fit in” etc- none of the people I’m around have a problem with it but it’s mainly because I actually know what I’m saying because again I learned it When it comes to white people who use it to try and “act black” etc I don’t like it

Don’t get me into the white guys who use aave to try and act tough or the girls who use it to try and act better then black women- I seen a lot of those

LOL it’s REALLY common around here when it comes to girls and it’s always like second hand embarrassment- and what’s even weirder about people who try to act that way is as a stated not every black person even uses aave- there’s a lot of individuals who weren’t exposed to it or were scolded for using it If you weren’t born black nothing will magically make you it- you just have to learn how to be yourself and embrace who you are instead

If the shoe fits

I just looked up aave and found some examples and remembered

remembered as in all the people who abuse it or insult it

If that’s you uhm oh well

Well I can’t really govern how people use it I’m not black myself but usually problems relay when people mock it or just misuse it- if it’s not your intention when typing stuff then I don’t find a problem

It seems innocent enough

It usually goes deeper then if someone just spells a word wrong or uses it informally-

It’s usually the other way where someone tries to correct them and be smart and they can’t even explain themselves on why they speak or type a certain way and it just gets annoying

It never truly gets brought up

Yeah I’ve seen it be accepted way more when white people speak it as an excuse because they are southern- and though I do agree some links can be tied w aave and the south they are not the same things as there’s plenty of people outside of the south of amercia that use aave like in the Caribbean

I will even see parents defame it because of its bad name “why are you speaking so ghetto” etc

NO FR

Who was the scientist and creator of the word pookie google

It’s like calling your friend or partner sweetie or something

EXACTLY

And I will not be called thyat

OH I definitely agree that every race has there own way of speaking culturally- and though language can be shared I definitely don’t think using it as a menacing way is ever a good thing I DEFINITELY heard people say foo or cuh already around here a lot of Black and Hispanic cultures seem to interweave and it can definitely be bad for both parties involved

Totally- a lot of people stereotype the speakers of it as being dumb or mistaught because they think aave is just incomplete English and that the people were just never taught it properly Most of the users actually know proper English and can write it it’s just how they speak casually and for some reason the United States and other countries discourage speaking that way because it’s “not proper”

Most if not all the younger school teachers I was around always was against that way of talking calling kids out specifically to make fun of it It got really unnecessary a lot of times But I think AAVE is a aspect of culture that can be shared just like food or gifts- it’s just unfortunately misused and criticized a lot

Yes 🙁 a lot of racist people think that black people are stupid just on this way of speaking- I always hear micro aggressions about it whenever I’m out with my friends or when around other people They will either mock it or say they didn’t go to school Aave is innovation its unique and its important It’s made it’s mark on Amercian culture and on internet- some of the most commonly used words are derived from AAVE It’s ironically the racist people being ignorant- they don’t under that AAVE doesn’t dictate someone’s literary ability- people way more well spoken then me and most of there class speak the same way it’s about more then just improper English

Understand*

Your in the right to hold your own opinion I’m sure you have had your own negative experiences- I don’t doubt some of the white people you have been around use AAVE incorrectly or even to attempt to meld with the black community I’ve seen it well myself- though I think that in some ways black culture can be implemented into a white persons life they can never change there race- Using AAVE incorrectly or obsessently is one of the biggest indicators- not to mention probably a little insulting To try and take something that is tied to blood and skin and attach outside behaviors and knowledge to it is ignorant- white people who try to be black always irk me And the double standard towards both races is irritating- I see it way to much when I went to school there’s so many examples to choose from Like the limitations on clothes and expression What’s right to do when your white vs when your black Favoritism and leniency

The reason I speak about this while being white is that being surrounded in a black community that has always respected me and loved me the same and seeing white people deject black people in the opposite fashion pisses me off Seeing someone I love and care about get insulted and judged based off the way they speak is wrenching and knowing that I will never have to worry about that I want that to change and I want the negative association with AAVE to be changed It is not something that makes you look poor and unruly- it’s not ghetto it’s a way to speak that reflects history and culture

I’ll always be a big advocate for black justice and rights and speaking about discrimination and hate against them It’s one of my biggest and strongest mindsets and opinions, it’s one of my core values No matter where I go to or who I’m around with, how old I get or what happens
