These people really need to be taken to task for linguistically appropriating my fucking language.
Ebonics is culturally enforced anti-intellectualism
Time to reap me some downvotes.
No, sorry, Ebonics is just a dialect of English, no more or less valid than any other dialect. It has rules, just like any other dialect. The problem is not that it's invalid, but that speaking it doesn't get you anywhere - there's no literature in Ebonics, nor can people understand you if you do speak it.
u don geddit
iz dey culcha
Well yeah, dialects differ. Doesn't make it not a dialect.
The fact that you know to use 'they' as a possessive, shows that it just has different rules, and that you know this.
I live in a southern state. We have a dialect. If our dialect was taught in schools as proper or valid, that would be retarded. And Mark Twain wrote stories using that dialect - in character speech, not the narrative. No one is teaching sentences like "y'all ain't gonna learn me how to talk proper" as proper grammar. Get that shit out of here.
Like I said, Ebonics should not be taught in schools, but that has nothing to do with validity. It, or a Southern dialect, or standard English, are no more or less 'valid' than the other ones.
You say that saying "y'all ain't" is absurd. Is it more absurd than saying "me am", which is what you're doing when you say "you are"?
Who gives a shit if it's "a dialect" or not? Congratulations, in your hurry to be contrary, you successfully discovered that the word "dialect" is broad, atechnical, and says exactly nothing about the utility or validity of noises that come out of peoples' face-holes. Have a cookie.
Not every jargon or patois is created equal, and sometimes the noises you make that are in a crude approximation of an actual language, make you sound like an ape-creature.
Crap, they're on to me.
What makes for 'validity'? That you speak the language as it was spoken in the political center of 18th century England? Or any other country? What makes Italian more 'valid' than Sicilian? What makes French more 'valid' than the old Gascon language?
I have already conceded that in the present situation, English is more useful than Ebonics, because of literature and the number of people who speak and understand it. But that does not make it better or more valid in an objective sense. Had Ebonics been the language of the center, you would regard what is now standard English as bizarre and sounding like an ape-creature.
Alright, so what makes an 'actual language'? I'm sure you'd sound like an ape creature to someone speaking Middle or Old English. Hell, you even use 'you' as the nominative instead of 'ye'!
Me sound like a caveman when doing that!
Then there was the movement to get it taught in schools. Even Jesse Jackson was against that. My mom always told me that you can speak with your friends however you want but you will speak correctly under my roof.
Ask and ye shall receive.
I can haz downvotes?
The unique discrimination for black women is that they are the least wanted group for sex according to data from hook up sites.
And the leading group of morbid obesity in America!
But that was Trump's fault, according to a female black professor.
Now that he is gone, surely those obesity rates will decrease.
I remember Bob Barker practically cowering in fear whenever a Samoan woman showed up. They were the worst for inadvertently hurting him in their excitement (I used to watch it with my grandmother. No so much after she died.)
That's tough. Combined with the fact that there are a lot of black men in prison, and the fact that a lot of them have relationships with fat white women, that really hurts their position on the dating market. If you ever wondered why black women tolerate deadbeat dads who cheat and abandon their kids, look no further
That is also why a lot of black women get absolutely crazy mad over black men who have interracial relationships - even more than some of the Stormfags.
There is a guy here who thinks that the women want to reduce the male population to 10%. If that were to happen, women would be literally at each other's throats for even the worst dregs among the 10%. "NO, you can't have my smelly, porn-addicted, unemployed, balding boyfriend who doesn't shower or brush his teeth, he's MINE AND MINE ALONE!"
My cousin was telling me about this black dude he knows who constantly got teased for acting white and the black girls in school made fun of him for not being “thuggish” enough. He ended up marrying a nerdy white girl and those same black women who never wanted him were furious. I’ve seen variations of that scenario. One black woman immediately stopped talking to me for voting for Trump.
Be grateful that the garbage took itself out.
In school, when you do well, you can't directly put that to good use. So the 'thugs' are at the top of the hierarchy. But when you're out of school and start making good money, suddenly, the thugs don't look as good anymore.
I think what would end up happening is the exemplification of the fact that over 80% of all women ever have had kids, but only 40% of all men have had kids, and the top men would have massive harems, while the bottom men get scraps. But what Imp thinks is that they'd all become political lesbians and keep all the men as breeding slaves.
I fail to see why we shouldn't give them the same spiel the white male incels get: You're not entitled to a relationship, no one owes you sex, etc etc.
White women are consistently voted most desirable by all racial groups, and black women are consistently voted least desirable by all racial groups including black men.
I rolled my eyes longer than ever before when I first stumbled across that word
