an actual thread on the use of AAVE or BEV. (with articles and examples)
if you& #39;re unaware, AAVE is an acronym for African American Vernacular English.
Some other terms people recognize include:
• African American Varieties of English or African American English (AAE)
• Black English (BE)
• Black English Vernacular (BEV).

many people often think of AAVE as "bad english" or "ghetto talk" (or a "blaccent" to others,,,) but they don& #39;t seem to understand the cultural importance these words and phrases hold to those who are black.
let me just say that if you& #39;re not black, don& #39;t fucking use these words or phrases. if you were genuinely of anything that& #39;s going to be said in this thread, that& #39;s okay. just take this knowledge with you as you go through life. and please do not come up with justification for+
+why you "should be able" to use it if you& #39;re non-black.

the rest of this thread will be links and articles bc i really can& #39;t stress myself out with this any more. i& #39;m really upset that our culture as black people is being turned into a normal thing for everyone.

while wanting to embrace culture is fine, using a part of someone else& #39;s culture and trying to brand it as your own is not okay.

if there& #39;s anything that anyone would like to add or correct (if you& #39;re non-black you& #39;re not welcomed to say anything), please let me know. i& #39;m just really upset and a lot of help would be appreciated. qrts will definitely help a lot since it can make things known.
don& #39;t be silent about this, please.
