AAVE: STOP APPROPRIATING IT

AAVE: STOP APPROPRIATING IT

What you as a non-black person shouldn’t be saying (this includes non-black poc):

killin it

-game too strong (i.e. eyebrow game too strong, etc.)

-ass (i.e. That’s some ignorant-ass shit.)

hella

turnt/turnt up/turn up/turn down for what

shade/throwin’ shade

ratchet (don’t be a smartass, the adjective not the object)

werk

yas

habitual “be” (i.e. they be killin it, he be walkin, bitches be like, etc.)

the thirst/thirsty

anything being “real” (i.e. the struggle is real, the thirst is real, etc.)

the struggle

on point (i.e. outfit is on point)

chill (as in got no chill)

side-eye

stank face

cray cray

-had me like

trippin’

boo/bae

imma be

do/dough/dat

gurl/boi

basic (as in basic bitch)

holla

finna (i.e. I’m finna do xyz)

tho/doe

reading/read

school/schooling

dope

fo sho/fo real

y’all

dig/dig it/ya dig/you dig

respect (i.e. respect man)

about that/here for that (i.e. I’m not about that life, I’m here for this)

tight (i.e. this shit got me tight)

giving life (i.e. Beyonce gives me life, black tumblr giving me life)

swag

goin’ through it

Things to avoid in general because they are offensive and/or mock black culture:

Sassy (NO YOU DO NOT HAVE A SASSY BLACK WOMAN LIVING INSIDE OF YOU.  STOP.  LOOKIN AT YOU WHITE GAY COMMUNITY).

Do not call black hair kinky or nappy. (Don’t touch it either).

Do not call things ghetto. Just don’t.

Don’t use the word thug in relation to black men.

Do not assume black people are ignorant just because they don’t speak the same dialect of English as you do.

Don’t make fun of black names.

If you use the n-word, I have no sympathy for you.  Good fucking luck.

I went to a BLM march yesterday and got some shots. It was an incredible experience and the energy levels were super high. 

I wore a mask and had hand sanitizer on hand. I just wanted to experience and be a part of something so important.

Hi Tumblr

Just wanted to say that the president of Poland Andrzej Duda just signed smthg called “Karta Rodziny”, which basically states that the only true family and marriage is that of heterosexual people, further doubling down on refusing marriage equality and adoption. It will “save children from alien and harmful LGBT ideology” by baning public institutions of mentioning the “LGBT ideology”.

The things happening over in america are horrendous, but also making way for changes for the better. They’re making the whole world have a discussion about racism still woven into our societies.

But please. It’s pride month. My country, my people need this to be on the lips of the world.
