It has just come to my attention that I used AAVE earlier this year in two replies. (I have now deleted) I take full responsibility for the fact that these are not my words to use. And I could use them and not be treated differently. (Cont)

Using AAVE as a non black person is cultural appropriation. And I fully understand now why I cannot use this language. I will be posting some resources in this thread to help educate others on why using AAVE as a non poc is unacceptable.

And to anyone that I may have hurt by these replies. I truly apologise and my dms are open. I will take responsibility for any hurt I may have caused.
