It could have been those "Hey so-and-so, long time no see. How're you doing?" and then she devolves into her issues. I had an ex go right to the "i can't afford my rent" basically straight away.
it helps if they're "dirty white"- micks, gypsies, polacks and greaseballs (especially sicilians) all have an abundance of genuinely derogatory terms for em
Just like any other dialect of English (like Cajun English, the "Brahmin" dialect of upper-class Bostonians, or the "Engfish" of academic circles), AAVE has its own grammatical and phonological systems as well as its own vocabulary and, though there's a lot of crossover between AAVE and Standard American English (what many people describe as the kind of English that doesn't have an accent, like what newscasters often speak or what many Midwesterners sound like--though in actuality, even the Midwestern accent-that's-not-an-accent has its own particularisms), there are some particular differences. One such difference is the use of the word "female."
In many varieties of AAVE, "female" isn't reserved for scientific or clinical communication. Instead, it's used in casual, everyday communication in quite a few different ways--and none of them are appropriate in academic writing.
If you can replace the word "female" with the word "b!$$%", or, actually, any other defamatory term used to refer to a woman that is displeasing in some way, and the feeling of the sentence is the same, then be offended [or, in the case of writing, revise to use another word]. If the tone of the sentence hasn't drastically changed, though a profane word is being used instead of "female," then you know what the person is REALLY trying to say.
pretending black americans arent capable of normal english, and that they all speak their own separate language because they have their own terms for things is insulting
they know how to speak english, its just got slang in it like any other group uses
No one said we aren't capable of speaking normal English.
Yes, the majority of aava users are African Americans, and although I'm an African American who doesn't use it, as my roots aren't linked to slavery, it isn't racist or insulting at all to acknowledge different types of English
Yes, people who use aava have their own terms and grammar, the same way anyone else with a "non-standard" vernacular would. Most Scottish people use some different terms than most Australians, Americans, or Nigerians and vice-versa; that's how vernaculars work.
Aava isn't a derogatory term the majority pushed onto African Americans; it has it's roots in African American history and can be easily explained and accepted. It started in the African slave population; a mix of their native/parent's tongue and southern English, which led to a very distinct sound and vocabulary.
It isn't beneficial to ignore history like that. It helps no one; in fact, it helps paint the picture that the people who use aava are unintelligent and are choosing to speak that way, instead of being raised to.
No one said we aren't capable of speaking normal English.
street slang isnt a separate language, and the only reason they classify it as such is because deep down they think youre less capable
the same way that upper class white californians think youre incapable of getting yourself an id card, and thus the idea of needing one to vote is racist
notice how no other cultures slang is considered a unique language, its just considered bastardized english
but you guys, congratulations! its a great language and dont let anyone tell you its less valid! good job for being able to speak!
it has it's roots in African American history and can be easily explained and accepted.
and white guilt makes them afraid to criticise the idea
you cant just call its slang, thats racist!
and are choosing to speak that way
and random southern rednecks arent dumb, theyre just raised to speak a certain way!
except nobody makes that argument ever because nobody feels guilty about them
One, it isn't a separate language; it is a vernacular which has been studied and written about hundreds of times for many years. It isn't classified as slang, as it has it's own consistent grammatical structures. It isn't some thing racists brought up out of thin air. Ignoring it doesn't make it non existent nor does it make it made-up.
Two, its seen as an unintelligent vernacular because it was used primarily by urban poor African American people, a.k.a people who tended to not have good educational systems and high crime rates. I do not blame them for speaking that way, and if they want to change their accent to sound more mainstream that's totally fine and I fully support them.
Three, I've never looked down on a southern person for having an accent; they have no control over that for the most part, as they're raised and surrounded by people who sound like that. It's a thing that's unconsciously passed down. "Random southern rednecks" aren't dumb just because of their accent and vocabulary. Calling a southerner dumb for sounding southern is the same thing as calling an urban African American they're dumb for sounding that way.
I don't know where you've lived, but this has been a hot topic in my area since I've opened my eyes.
Sorry you're triggered by my post saying sorry that you're triggered by the way a character said a word in a two decade old science fiction television program
Maybe when you get a little older you'll learn a bit of emotional control.
they do if there's a WOKE black man in the vicinity
in all seriousness, I have seen them get called out on it a lot. and it's always been another black dude, except the one time it was a black hispanic chick
Well fuck YOU'RE the deadbeat for not opening your wallet every time a girl cries. Don't expect anything in return though you're just supposed to buy their attention.
I mean, if it works at least 30% of the time I say it's a good method to keep food on the table. Obviously it isn't good for the victim at all but a gold digger's gotta do what a gold digger's gotta do
The best way to get a date is to complain about your personal problems to strangers and drag everyone down to wallow in self pity. Personally I would have proposed to her on the spot.
Shes a lady, she doesn't have to worry about "the best way" of getting dates. Tbqh she prob could get some money out of anywhere from a fuck ton of guys, to a few lonely losers depending on how she looks of course.
Capuccino Queen says that "I know it's hard right now, but you'll get it together" is somehow way better than his dry response. Even though it still sounds like a dry response to me. So in other words what the guy did was the correct way of handling it
I read all of these tweets, and I have the following question: what the fuck are these people saying? Case in point:
Nobody especially with children wants a "damn thats fucked up" ass nigga. No one asked for money but u aint offer shit.
??? Is she saying that people with children don't want to engage in anal sex with black people if they happen to be constipated regardless of how much money they are offered?
And
Broke hoes better become a get another job ass hoe then instead of putting their hand out
Eh....two "hoes" getting jobs involving their asses and....eh...OK, I have no clue what this means.
