here& #39;s how I understand it:
One reason why it& #39;s so bad that AAVE gets adopted into non-black popular culture is because, collectively, we love black culture but we treat black folks badly
Slang? Music? Fashion? We take it all and then mistreat the very folks who created it

Anywho, listen to black folks. I& #39;m just repeating what I learned through sitting back and listening
So listen
Especially if you feel defensive, just sit back and listen

When I say "sit and listen" I mean like listen to the conversations black folks are already having on social media, not like go seek out black folks and say, "I& #39;m here! Teach me!!"
