The best way to do right now for us, it is economically. You ain't gotta say anything. Speak with your dollars. Bank black and buy black. Buy RE in upcoming black neighborhoods, restore the old ones, or create a new one and then provide economic opportunities there. Political agitation will only drain you with nothing to show for it. You ain't gotta say much when you have economic leverage (which we don't have).
the problem with these "culture" arguments is that we act like all black culture is monolithic when it's not just depends on what coast you are on what city you are from
@@bangtanx2027 You do understand that there are differences between that too right? I'm from the west side, and I speak very differently to other black people on the east side.

Huh? So did Europeans create and develop Buddhism? A culture usually has an ethnic origin. It's not a problem. Youte just capable of critically thinking about what's being talked about.
I only pay attention when I noticed people switch up how they talk around certain people. It’s like the white girls that I work with act a certain way around a particular type of black person but when they get around Black people that they perceive is more threatening, they “turn back” into white people, but they swear they grew up around Black people and Latinos, and they act that way all the time.

Most black issues are self made not caused by other racism because you have such small way of thinking about how black people should be acting.
@@noncatholiccatholicrat6309 if you wanna get technical. Yes it is.. she's white and who you think she got it from? Black people never uses that term...EVER!!!!! So if you wanna go there. It comes from that same logic as I said earlier. We and most black people hate that. Let her be around some black people. And they didn't know her. And use that.. especially females she may get her ass whipped. Like the lady clearly explained about using that term in the video.
How? I've only seen Black women labeled as aggressive. White women like Bhad Baby and Woah Vicky literally profited off a being fake hood or Black and saying the N word and they become millionaires
I call it the Elvis effect, they always take our creations, our ideas, our dances, our slang, and our overall swag, and they always profit the most off it, without giving the proper credit to the person that created it, that's the annoying part, and just like Elvis took the Blues culture and rebranded it, they're doing the same thing, taking African American culture and rebranding it as Internet Culture.
You ever notice how when black people create things, it ends up belonging to everyone? Like black people created this slang, it becomes mainstream, now all of a sudden it's Gen-Z slang? Think about it, Japanese culture went/is mainstream in America. People liked to wear Kimonos and stuff, but notice how everyone knew it was Japanese culture and they called it by its name. With black culture, things gets rebranded and nobody knows it's from black culture unless we tell them. People call us sensitive for trying to gatekeep and compare us to other cultures, when they aren't getting the same treatment.
@@Remember_the_Time your describing white American culture aswell comics the sports you play basketball American football the movies you watch and TV fast food and majority of cuisine etc no one sees it as American white culture even tho they created it it's acknowledged as every americans culture even tho other races didn't create the culture

I agreed with the sentiment, but what most people don’t know about the situation is that he grew up mostly in the Philippines not Hawaii. And there is this weird myth that no one in Hawaii speaks AAVE, or that they are all sunshine and flowers and rainbows that culturally act like white people on vacation. But the main thing I think should be brought up with the Bretman conversation is the gay community lingo created/evolving from AAV
@@noncatholiccatholicrat6309 gay slang is made by black people but it isn’t really aave tbh there is aave used within the black queer community obv because they’re black but gay slang is completely different. idk if this made sense lol
@@kuntress12 no I get what you are saying and I mostly agree w/ you. However, I believe there is no solid line between aav and queer lingo. Like the guy who was selling merch, I’m pretty sure he thought at least the majority of those phrases were queer when a lot of them probably were created by black women or black queer people. I think it’s very unfortunate because I don’t think there is enough discussion on where the line is. There is some growing tension between black people and queer people of a different race. It’s sad because we can both learn from each other and share a few experiences through being minorities
I definitely agree. I'm sick of these conversations. I'm no longer having them for the exact same reason. I used to get so angry and for WHAT? I explained stuff to people who were friends on various levels and once I wasted my breath and realized that they really didn't give a fuck, I cut them out of my life, no warning. Because if you know me personally and I've gone out of my way to explain why something you're saying, doing or believe is wrong and hurtful to ME and THEN you continue to do it, well that's you saying, "Fuck you and your feelings." Im not operating like that. I've grown to understand that if it's not bringing me peace then I don't want to partake. Im still working on it in other facets of my life but as far as THIS bullshit? I'm SO over it.
That's the right mentality for everyone. Mind your own business and improve your own life! Don't worry about what white people are doing or anyone that's not your friends and family. We've been tricked into thinking we must stand up for a collective identity that's not all that unified or valid in the first place. It's not like all black people relate to each other, nor do we all share the same cultural values. The whole thing is superficial nonsense, where skin tone and hair texture are somehow supposed to make us relate to one another! The idea is so stupid and limiting! IMO the collective identity approach is the problem. It's toxic to an individual's progress in life.
You are the ones who make EVERYTHING about race. You do know you play a huge part in keeping racism alive, right? Go watch stevie knight, doc rich etc, black creators, and they might actually make you think twice about spewing pure hatred out your mouth and constantly bringing up race.
It's so annoying because I do not like non poc calling me sis because I do not know you just because someone on the internet said it don't mean you know me I met one white girl she was forcing the black accent too hard I got annoyed my white friend taylor that's my girl her accent is natural because that's how we all grew up but the other girl is like she wanted to fit in like just be you
I think if so many white people didn’t use black culture and experience as a costume for views and clout there would be a lot less people mad at white people getting braids or using certain slang. I can’t speak much to it, I’m not black so I’m more just sharing thoughts, but I feel that the real issue is it’s so hard to tell sometimes if someone was genuinely surrounded by the culture their whole life or if they are just doing things to try to seem “cool”. And we see a lot of times black people being pushed out of spaces for white people portraying themselfs as ambiguous, I’m assuming making it even more annoying when you see people getting praised for things they look down on others for. It’s a really interesting conversation because it has so much nuance to it
Coming from E . Africa, we have our own issues i know and am probably not remotely aware of AA issues. Recently i noticed this obsession with black culture and appropriation etc, i reckon this is what the top people in the us are pushing to you guys making you focus on this and lose focus on the institutional injustices happening. My two cents.
I sorta agree. I feel like if we deal with the problem at the root of it(unequal education, criminalization, and forced cycles of poverty), then all the more social and minor stuff will start to go away and not be a problem anymore. But hey that’s just my opinion
Media and entertainment has always been a good distraction. That's why people are so ignorant about these issues. They've never legitimately studied history on their own time. These people finish school and never learn again
I'm not African American (AA) but I grew up consuming so much AA music, tv shows and movies. I have so much respect for the culture and African Americans. I am grateful for your contributions ♥
Honestly black people need to start ignoring and not supporting these people (even allies) because it’ll hit all of these companies/influencers in their pockets and force a change.
*I don’t have a problem with white people or other races embracing our culture….The issue I have is when they do, it’s always the ‘’stereotypical’’ Black person they are portraying!! For an example the ‘’Catch Me Outside’’*
The thing is this type of thing happens mostly in America black American culture is popular everywhere because American tv shows and UA-camrs and stuff is popular but while you do see cultural appropriation in other countries it’s usually hairstyles not really how we speak.
Ironically, I learned English from the internet and my favorite UA-camrs, most of them happen to speak aave, but I recognize that's aave ofc, I ain't never heard of "Internet slang" 💀💀
I love you noirs videos, they are really well thought out arguments and convo starters. You should react to her video about the "black girl fetishisiation" I'd love to hear your opinion on it
Ok as a black man, in my opinion if you are white and grew up in the hood, i consider you one of us. Just like how she said somethings are not going to be offensive to every black person, im good.
She literally said she was the product of her environment. Totally agree. I grew up in Shreveport (all I know was black culture). I’m sorry if my behavior offends people. I don’t really mean to offend anyone .I dont mean no disrespect to no body. I love you all.
7:06 frfr what even is an ally? Humans are inherently selfish. Everyone knows about this topic. Yet there are ppl doing these things everyday. They do not care. Which is why like you said it is better to just go about your life. Everytime I see a black person educating a nonblack person on these types of topics I cringe. Everything you said at the end is facts.
I feel like the reason ppl get sensitive is because cmon, we were no bullied and harassed, beaten and spit on, only for things we were discriminated about to become trends and the dépendant of those ppl using blk culture for fun while blk ppl still suffer for doing these things till this day. But its pointless to argue. Some ppl have good intentions but the reason why ppl dint let it slide is because there are a lot of ppl who have ill intentions
What I love most about Dee is that she's one of the most neutral people I've ever heard in my life. I find myself agreeing completely with her, agreeing partially, disagreeing partially, and disagreeing completely with her at various points in her videos. She's truly a free, independent thinker that has nuanced, varied opinions on every topic. She doesn't follow the crowd or try to curry favor by expressing what would be the most popular position to gain subscribers. We need more people like Dee.
I don't fully give white people that grew up in the hood a full pass. First, you gotta be careful with the word "HOOD." A lot of these trailer park hill billies call themselves hood just because they grew up poor and ghetto. Second, I am black, grew up in the hood, surrounded by hood niggas, but I don't speak in AAVE then. I can turn it on if I want to, but my natural speak is the standard American dialect. Growing up in the hood doesn't automatically mean you speak like that and can't help it. A lot of these people can help it, but they don't care and they choose to speak in that way.
Jamaicans when it comes on to Canadians and British people. Wi knw the struggles of having our slangs being taken away by a certain rap artiste tho mi rate said rap artiste. But yuh get the point right? Right.
@@andre-bj9ym Facts but I was only calling out the main culprits. Canadians have now changed the meanings for some of our slangs/words catty being one of them. Non Caribbean people in Britain are talking like theyre from the Caribbean. Its getting annoying now bro.
I think that brightman's rock family speaks like that because his sister speaks just about the same as him but we don't ever see how his actual parents thought and other family members so it's hard to gauge if that comes from real life or if that is just from him being on the internet
So I'm confused. Isn't the whole point of TikTok to take other people's trends, and make them your own? Most of the time nobody knows where the trend started. They just blindly follow what's popular.
Lol…do black peoples think the native language of Africa is English? Do they they think we’re pants and having a surname is native African. Do they think the Christianity is the native religion of Africans. How about that hair style this young lady is wearing? People need to understand that America is a melding pot. We are destined to come together.
i do not get it if you were raised a certain way or with a certain kind of people you automatically adapt. you know how many african american girls or white girls in asia talk the same way or put their hand to their mouths when laughing etc etc. nobody is making a big deal out of it. certainly seeing as majority of black people do not even talk like that.
I agree with Dee HEAVY. A lot of homophobes like Ben Shapiro, Boosie and Matt Walsh are deliberately spreading hateful, and sometimes false information just because they want to and they can. It’s so tiring trying to stand up for love
@@isaidwhatisaid3564 the fact that you think people with different points of views are homophobes scare me go outside and travel you live in a bubble and yes i consider myself a great person cuz unlike you i accept people with different views i dont care if they have the same religion, skin color or they align with a different political party................GROW UP
@@isaidwhatisaid3564 Homophobic you guys just throw that word around too often. I have a different opinion on life that doesn't harm you personally and does not mean I'm homophobic. Homo = Gay, Phobia = Frear. I don't fear gay people.
I get what she tries to do but the whole "unapologetic" attitude gets tiring after the first 10 seconds. Not everyone can be a SJW or well-informed. I not saying we should keep people ignorant, but to direct so much animosity over the internet just makes you look ridiculous. Yelling back and forth has never been a good tool in educating others, if that’s even the intention to begin with.
I was gonna say what about a lot of the gay community, because a lot of gay men In particular, use black women slang all the time and it’s so annoying like u do t have to act like that
I completely agree with everything she and Dee said but when she said that phrase in 9:13 it sounded very Caribbean and I know that because I’m Caribbean myself. But anyways the one part I disagree on and have always disagreed on is when black people of any Caribbean island for example Jamaica, Trinidad, or Bahamas come to the United States and adapt to the (African American) culture they say as she said “is ours” which I agree it’s THEIR’S because I know for a fact they don’t use their same slang in the islands or create it (and if they do, it’s because it traveled through music or social media as black culture has traveled all around the world numerous times). But then when a Black Puerto Rican, Dominican, or Cuban uses that slang or culture because we also grew up here in the hood we are appropriating, we are not black, we are Latinos and that’s it. So yea there’s a double standard when it comes to Caribbean people in America but I agree with what she says, especially when it comes to white people profiting off black culture.
white people use to call asian people yellow, so they’re trying not to say that when they say “red, purple, blue, etc.”. but that’s who they’re trying to reference
Me in Africa wondering why my government won't give us reliable electricity and running water watching American content creators getting upset over printing slang on a t-shirt....Then realising I've found myself on the wrong corner of UA-cam again. If you read this, you're cool. Have a great day.
Hardly believe you just stumbled across this vid, you’re prob subbed or something. So dunno how you found yourself on the wrong side of the internet. Also people are allowed to be upset at whatever they’re experiencing even if someone on the other side of the world may have it a little worse. That’s like saying “oh your house burned down? Well I didn’t have one in the first place”
As a poc I have to say your never gonna win because we don’t have the social power to change these things you have to protect your spirit at least I choose to
Is it stealing though? I feel like stealing is too strong a word when nothings actually been lost. Another thing I find weird, how do you act "black"? If there's white and Asian people being brought up in that environment and having these certain personality and language traits then by definition it is not a black way to act. You can't ACT black, you can only BE black.
If you talk or act the way MAJORITY of black people talk or act you are acting black regardless of if you were raised with or around black people. It's not complicated.
@@crystalxchi8576 the MAJORITY of black people don't talk or act like that. The MAJORITY of black people are on a completely different continent to the US. You're right. Not complicated.
Yeah I think its a common misconception. There's not really any nice way to say this but its basically acting low-class. This can be seen in almost every time period and in every place. The "rich" people are more articulate while the "poor" people have different accents and use slang. For example, poor whites in the 1920s.
I’m sick of people wanting a problem with everything race is a huge problem still esp in America but not every single thing is racist and to do with race
I agree with you 100%. Like black people are apart of the racism problem also. We continue to make any and everything about race. Like the guy who put those terms on a shirt in this video. I don’t think he meant to be racists or take from black culture. Also I don’t even consider something the “city girls” or “Nicki Minaj” say as black culture either. But I agree
Stop. We gonna stop acting like race is such a ridiculous topic and excuse to blatant disrespect to POC. If you’re uncomfortable then oh well. The problem is that y’all don’t LISTEN but then want to get annoyed when we get frustrated.

People will take some things from other cultures that they like wether it's offensive to you or not, it's been this way since humans started to socialize, and by the way every race is doing that, individually of course is different, but honestly why are you suprised, social media giving platforms to dumb, and unsensitive people too, and i'm not saying you shouldn't care, just don't take this dumb shit to the heart unless it's ultimately disrespectful, you'll only hurt yourself.
FUNNY HOW BLACK CULTURE IS WIDESPREAD AND INTERNATIONALLY APPROPRIATED THO RIGHT? SORT OF CRINGEWORTHY TO SEE OTHER RACES AND CULTURES SINGING SONGS IE RAP HIP HOP WHEN THEY A1- ARE NOT BLACK AND B- DONT EVEN SPEAK FUCKING ENGLISH. BLACK CULTURE IS NOT A COSTUME. EMBRACE YOUR OWN RACE AND CULTURE.
You have Nicki, Megan, Cardi etc. All these worldwide celebrities that dress/talk what would be consindered black culture. And when rest of the world copies them. Cus the are famous and some peoples idols. You get mad? And say that your culture is being copied? You cant havr it both way. You cant put your culture in the spotlight, and complain its being copied/mimicked.
HOWEVER, ON THE CONTRARY, THERE IS A TON OF NON BLACK POPULAR ARTIST OF THE NON BLACK GENRES SUCH AS COUNTRY/ROCK ETC ETC- WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES WHY THE HELL IS BLACK CULTURE RELATED MUSIC STYLES AND OVERALL ENTIRE BLACK CULTURE BEING HIJACKED? ITS VERY WEIRD AND CRINGEWORTHY.
In the context of how its used nowadays, yes tf it is. Ppl will even put on the accent, do the black girl pout, and do the hand gestures with it. Even got ppl out here saying purr. And I think Dee mentioned it before, but period is recycled slang from the 70's and 80's...still from black ppl. When ppl used to say "point blank period". So you might have heard older ppl use it and assume its not black slang since they're obviously not influenced by internet culture the way millennial and gen z are, but its likely they got it from their "wave" of popular black culture.
yeh black people get called ghetto and unprofessional for wearing their natural hair and using aave, but white people get famous for it and known for their "innovative & quirky/cool style"

You ain't gotta say much when you have economic leverage (which we don't have).
Brittany: i mean like, it's just internet slang.....
Me: where you think the internet got it from sis?
Like c'mon now LOL
Right she basically saying ''internet slang'' is a whole new language 💀💀
the problem with these "culture" arguments is that we act like all black culture is monolithic when it's not just depends on what coast you are on what city you are from
i think it's pretty obvious this video is specific to african american culture
@@bangtanx2027 it can be black Brazilian Americans or black Latinos in USA
@@abimaellopezmaylord27lopez7 Please don't act dumb, the conversation is clearly about the appropriation of African American culture.
@@bangtanx2027 You do understand that there are differences between that too right? I'm from the west side, and I speak very differently to other black people on the east side. Even the differences between the eastside are clear, New York and ATL are very very different in regards to black culture, more specifically speech.
Huh? So did Europeans create and develop Buddhism? A culture usually has an ethnic origin. It's not a problem. Youte just capable of critically thinking about what's being talked about.
I only pay attention when I noticed people switch up how they talk around certain people. It’s like the white girls that I work with act a certain way around a particular type of black person but when they get around Black people that they perceive is more threatening, they “turn back” into white people, but they swear they grew up around Black people and Latinos, and they act that way all the time. That’s the only time stuff like this gets on my nerves, when I know for a fact that you’re putting it on as a show because you think it’s funny or that it’s gonna get you attention.
@Michelle 🤣🤣🤣🤣 my bad
@@mielissa100ifynobody can act black, what’s acting black?? Every black person is not the same or acts the same, are you saying that being ghetto or acting like a hood gangster is acting black?? Then baby you are the main reason why the black community is the way it is now and why many black people are still stuck in the same place. Most black issues are self made not caused by other racism because you have such small way of thinking about how black people should be acting.
Red, purple and green logic is annoying. Because most prejudice people use that term. It's like saying I have black friends at work.
Not in the context that was used here
@@noncatholiccatholicrat6309 if you wanna get technical. Yes it is.. she's white and who you think she got it from? Black people never uses that term...EVER!!!!! So if you wanna go there. It comes from that same logic as I said earlier. We and most black people hate that. Let her be around some black people. And they didn't know her. And use that.. especially females she may get her ass whipped. Like the lady clearly explained about using that term in the video.
If hood chick using heavy slang, starts gaining popularity they are ridiculed into not doing it. They get labeled aggressive.
How? I've only seen Black women labeled as aggressive. White women like Bhad Baby and Woah Vicky literally profited off a being fake hood or Black and saying the N word and they become millionaires
@@destinymcgowan5328 You may have misunderstood. I was referring to only Black women.
I call it the Elvis effect, they always take our creations, our ideas, our dances, our slang, and our overall swag, and they always profit the most off it, without giving the proper credit to the person that created it, that's the annoying part, and just like Elvis took the Blues culture and rebranded it, they're doing the same thing, taking African American culture and rebranding it as Internet Culture.
You ever notice how when black people create things, it ends up belonging to everyone? Like black people created this slang, it becomes mainstream, now all of a sudden it's Gen-Z slang? Think about it, Japanese culture went/is mainstream in America. People liked to wear Kimonos and stuff, but notice how everyone knew it was Japanese culture and they called it by its name. With black culture, things gets rebranded and nobody knows it's from black culture unless we tell them. People call us sensitive for trying to gatekeep and compare us to other cultures, when they aren't getting the same treatment.
@@Remember_the_Time your describing white American culture aswell comics the sports you play basketball American football the movies you watch and TV fast food and majority of cuisine etc no one sees it as American white culture even tho they created it it's acknowledged as every americans culture even tho other races didn't create the culture
You wouldn't even half of your things if it wasn't for colonial Europeans bringing their music traditions cuisine etc over African American culture is mostly rip of native and European culture blues country etc have heavy northern European roots Cajun soul food have heavy European and native American roots etc

Whennnnnnn she said the bretman rock point I totally agreed
I agreed with the sentiment, but what most people don’t know about the situation is that he grew up mostly in the Philippines not Hawaii. And there is this weird myth that no one in Hawaii speaks AAVE, or that they are all sunshine and flowers and rainbows that culturally act like white people on vacation. But the main thing I think should be brought up with the Bretman conversation is the gay community lingo created/evolving from AAV
@@noncatholiccatholicrat6309 gay slang is made by black people but it isn’t really aave tbh there is aave used within the black queer community obv because they’re black but gay slang is completely different. idk if this made sense lol
@@kuntress12 yea like slay was popularized between by the black queer community and common gay people use the word hunty (cunt and honey )
@@kuntress12 no I get what you are saying and I mostly agree w/ you. However, I believe there is no solid line between aav and queer lingo. Like the guy who was selling merch, I’m pretty sure he thought at least the majority of those phrases were queer when a lot of them probably were created by black women or black queer people. I think it’s very unfortunate because I don’t think there is enough discussion on where the line is. There is some growing tension between black people and queer people of a different race. It’s sad because we can both learn from each other and share a few experiences through being minorities
I definitely agree. I'm sick of these conversations. I'm no longer having them for the exact same reason. I used to get so angry and for WHAT?
I explained stuff to people who were friends on various levels and once I wasted my breath and realized that they really didn't give a fuck, I cut them out of my life, no warning.
Because if you know me personally and I've gone out of my way to explain why something you're saying, doing or believe is wrong and hurtful to ME and THEN you continue to do it, well that's you saying, "Fuck you and your feelings."
Im not operating like that.
I've grown to understand that if it's not bringing me peace then I don't want to partake.
Im still working on it in other facets of my life but as far as THIS bullshit?
I'm SO over it.
That's the right mentality for everyone. Mind your own business and improve your own life! Don't worry about what white people are doing or anyone that's not your friends and family. We've been tricked into thinking we must stand up for a collective identity that's not all that unified or valid in the first place. It's not like all black people relate to each other, nor do we all share the same cultural values. The whole thing is superficial nonsense, where skin tone and hair texture are somehow supposed to make us relate to one another! The idea is so stupid and limiting! IMO the collective identity approach is the problem. It's toxic to an individual's progress in life.
Stealing our dances and calling them their own!..... knowing dam well that their dances would be as unseasoned as their food🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
You are the ones who make EVERYTHING about race. You do know you play a huge part in keeping racism alive, right? Go watch stevie knight, doc rich etc, black creators, and they might actually make you think twice about spewing pure hatred out your mouth and constantly bringing up race.
It's so annoying because I do not like non poc calling me sis because I do not know you just because someone on the internet said it don't mean you know me I met one white girl she was forcing the black accent too hard I got annoyed my white friend taylor that's my girl her accent is natural because that's how we all grew up but the other girl is like she wanted to fit in like just be you
I’m not gonna lie, Dee was on point in this video. Big ups to YOU sis!
I think if so many white people didn’t use black culture and experience as a costume for views and clout there would be a lot less people mad at white people getting braids or using certain slang. I can’t speak much to it, I’m not black so I’m more just sharing thoughts, but I feel that the real issue is it’s so hard to tell sometimes if someone was genuinely surrounded by the culture their whole life or if they are just doing things to try to seem “cool”. And we see a lot of times black people being pushed out of spaces for white people portraying themselfs as ambiguous, I’m assuming making it even more annoying when you see people getting praised for things they look down on others for. It’s a really interesting conversation because it has so much nuance to it
Black people from outside USA are not that sensitive like in that country , honestly
maybe black women should stop wearing straight hear then, how about that?
@@runthatback323 Do you people just live off of negativity and trying to tear others down? That’s not a healthy lifestyle get a real Iife.💀

We should all definitely learn Creole and Patois though
@@mielissa100ify nobody would be at your head, hispanics aren’t as soft as black americans.
Coming from E . Africa, we have our own issues i know and am probably not remotely aware of AA issues. Recently i noticed this obsession with black culture and appropriation etc, i reckon this is what the top people in the us are pushing to you guys making you focus on this and lose focus on the institutional injustices happening. My two cents.
I sorta agree. I feel like if we deal with the problem at the root of it(unequal education, criminalization, and forced cycles of poverty), then all the more social and minor stuff will start to go away and not be a problem anymore. But hey that’s just my opinion
Media and entertainment has always been a good distraction. That's why people are so ignorant about these issues. They've never legitimately studied history on their own time. These people finish school and never learn again
Not my favorite UA-camr finding out about my other favorite UA-camr! This day keeps getting better
I'm not African American (AA) but I grew up consuming so much AA music, tv shows and movies. I have so much respect for the culture and African Americans. I am grateful for your contributions ♥
Honestly black people need to start ignoring and not supporting these people (even allies) because it’ll hit all of these companies/influencers in their pockets and force a change.
*I don’t have a problem with white people or other races embracing our culture….The issue I have is when they do, it’s always the ‘’stereotypical’’ Black person they are portraying!! For an example the ‘’Catch Me Outside’’*
You can't really do much about it . She grew up around people like that so she will act like somebody who hasn't finished ninth grade.

I will say Brittany retracted her statement and educated herself on the difference between internet slang and AAVE.
100% agree with you Dee.
I don't like it either way because it's cute for everybody to talk like that, but when black people do we get called ghetto

The thing is this type of thing happens mostly in America black American culture is popular everywhere because American tv shows and UA-camrs and stuff is popular but while you do see cultural appropriation in other countries it’s usually hairstyles not really how we speak.

Being online all day I can see how you may pick up stuff here and there. But selling merch with it?!?
Ironically, I learned English from the internet and my favorite UA-camrs, most of them happen to speak aave, but I recognize that's aave ofc, I ain't never heard of "Internet slang" 💀💀
phrases that trend basically, like “its giving” but im from London idk if thats aave
@@sash785 Yeah, it is
I love you noirs videos, they are really well thought out arguments and convo starters. You should react to her video about the "black girl fetishisiation" I'd love to hear your opinion on it
Thing is also when black people talk like that it’s seemed as hood, ghetto ratchet bla bla
landon romano n alxjames should be on the list tbh
Ok as a black man, in my opinion if you are white and grew up in the hood, i consider you one of us. Just like how she said somethings are not going to be offensive to every black person, im good.
She literally said she was the product of her environment. Totally agree. I grew up in Shreveport (all I know was black culture). I’m sorry if my behavior offends people. I don’t really mean to offend anyone .I dont mean no disrespect to no body. I love you all.
7:06 frfr what even is an ally? Humans are inherently selfish. Everyone knows about this topic. Yet there are ppl doing these things everyday. They do not care. Which is why like you said it is better to just go about your life. Everytime I see a black person educating a nonblack person on these types of topics I cringe. Everything you said at the end is facts.
Not the Bretman voice lmaoo
Not my two worlds colliding 😭😭😭
I feel like the reason ppl get sensitive is because cmon, we were no bullied and harassed, beaten and spit on, only for things we were discriminated about to become trends and the dépendant of those ppl using blk culture for fun while blk ppl still suffer for doing these things till this day. But its pointless to argue. Some ppl have good intentions but the reason why ppl dint let it slide is because there are a lot of ppl who have ill intentions
What I love most about Dee is that she's one of the most neutral people I've ever heard in my life. I find myself agreeing completely with her, agreeing partially, disagreeing partially, and disagreeing completely with her at various points in her videos.
She's truly a free, independent thinker that has nuanced, varied opinions on every topic. She doesn't follow the crowd or try to curry favor by expressing what would be the most popular position to gain subscribers. We need more people like Dee.
Cash me outside girl
Danielle Broccoli 😂😂
I don't fully give white people that grew up in the hood a full pass. First, you gotta be careful with the word "HOOD." A lot of these trailer park hill billies call themselves hood just because they grew up poor and ghetto. Second, I am black, grew up in the hood, surrounded by hood niggas, but I don't speak in AAVE then. I can turn it on if I want to, but my natural speak is the standard American dialect. Growing up in the hood doesn't automatically mean you speak like that and can't help it. A lot of these people can help it, but they don't care and they choose to speak in that way.
So happy you named Bretman!!
Every single day, I inch closer and closer to hating yt people ngl.
That’s mutual sis/bruh
Periodttt

I think that brightman's rock family speaks like that because his sister speaks just about the same as him but we don't ever see how his actual parents thought and other family members so it's hard to gauge if that comes from real life or if that is just from him being on the internet
I enjoyed this reaction 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I always say if every black person in the USA decided not to do anything for a week. They not gone know what to do
That thought thats its internet culture is too funny to even debate lol
Im glad u mentioned bretman cause everytime he opens his mouth and talks like that i cringe hardcore 😂

So I'm confused. Isn't the whole point of TikTok to take other people's trends, and make them your own? Most of the time nobody knows where the trend started. They just blindly follow what's popular.
I love her channel tbh she’s really intellectually smart.
❤Your channel is literally my comfort place. You make me so happy. 🤗❤
Lol…do black peoples think the native language of Africa is English? Do they they think we’re pants and having a surname is native African. Do they think the Christianity is the native religion of Africans. How about that hair style this young lady is wearing?

i do not get it if you were raised a certain way or with a certain kind of people you automatically adapt. you know how many african american girls or white girls in asia talk the same way or put their hand to their mouths when laughing etc etc.
nobody is making a big deal out of it. certainly seeing as majority of black people do not even talk like that.
I agree with Dee HEAVY. A lot of homophobes like Ben Shapiro, Boosie and Matt Walsh are deliberately spreading hateful, and sometimes false information just because they want to and they can. It’s so tiring trying to stand up for love

What the hell did I just read
exactly bretman is the first one that pops up
I get what she tries to do but the whole
"unapologetic" attitude gets tiring after the first 10 seconds. Not everyone can be a SJW or well-informed. I not saying we should keep people ignorant, but to direct so much animosity over the internet just makes you look ridiculous. Yelling back and forth has never been a good tool in educating others, if that’s even the intention to begin with.
I've always despised the rainbow race statement too.
I was gonna say what about a lot of the gay community, because a lot of gay men In particular, use black women slang all the time and it’s so annoying like u do t have to act like that
I completely agree with everything she and Dee said but when she said that phrase in 9:13 it sounded very Caribbean and I know that because I’m Caribbean myself. But anyways the one part I disagree on and have always disagreed on is when black people of any Caribbean island for example Jamaica, Trinidad, or Bahamas come to the United States and adapt to the (African American) culture they say as she said “is ours” which I agree it’s THEIR’S because I know for a fact they don’t use their same slang in the islands or create it (and if they do, it’s because it traveled through music or social media as black culture has traveled all around the world numerous times). But then when a Black Puerto Rican, Dominican, or Cuban uses that slang or culture because we also grew up here in the hood we are appropriating, we are not black, we are Latinos and that’s it. So yea there’s a double standard when it comes to Caribbean people in America but I agree with what she says, especially when it comes to white people profiting off black culture.
I'm pretty sure Tee is from the Caribbean
you should definitely check out amandabb's take on this - she makes the best points!!
white people use to call asian people yellow, so they’re trying not to say that when they say “red, purple, blue, etc.”. but that’s who they’re trying to reference

I don’t think it’s that big of a problem if white people use aave slangs that are popular online if they accept and acknowledge it’s origin.
8:24 spot on
Is it stealing though? I feel like stealing is too strong a word when nothings actually been lost. Another thing I find weird, how do you act "black"? If there's white and Asian people being brought up in that environment and having these certain personality and language traits then by definition it is not a black way to act. You can't ACT black, you can only BE black.
If you talk or act the way MAJORITY of black people talk or act you are acting black regardless of if you were raised with or around black people. It's not complicated.
You're right, their is no such thing as acting black. When black ppl say that, they mean stereotypically black. Which is aggravating imo!
@@crystalxchi8576 the MAJORITY of black people don't talk or act like that. The MAJORITY of black people are on a completely different continent to the US. You're right. Not complicated.
She acknowledged it in the video
Yeah I think its a common misconception. There's not really any nice way to say this but its basically acting low-class. This can be seen in almost every time period and in every place. The "rich" people are more articulate while the "poor" people have different accents and use slang. For example, poor whites in the 1920s.

I agree with you 100%. Like black people are apart of the racism problem also. We continue to make any and everything about race. Like the guy who put those terms on a shirt in this video. I don’t think he meant to be racists or take from black culture. Also I don’t even consider something the “city girls” or “Nicki Minaj” say as black culture either. But I agree

FUNNY HOW BLACK CULTURE IS WIDESPREAD AND INTERNATIONALLY APPROPRIATED THO RIGHT? SORT OF CRINGEWORTHY TO SEE OTHER RACES AND CULTURES SINGING SONGS IE RAP HIP HOP WHEN THEY A1- ARE NOT BLACK AND B- DONT EVEN SPEAK FUCKING ENGLISH. BLACK CULTURE IS NOT A COSTUME. EMBRACE YOUR OWN RACE AND CULTURE.
this shit is ridiculous

You have Nicki, Megan, Cardi etc. All these worldwide celebrities that dress/talk what would be consindered black culture. And when rest of the world copies them. Cus the are famous and some peoples idols. You get mad? And say that your culture is being copied?
You cant havr it both way. You cant put your culture in the spotlight, and complain its being copied/mimicked.
HOWEVER, ON THE CONTRARY, THERE IS A TON OF NON BLACK POPULAR ARTIST OF THE NON BLACK GENRES SUCH AS COUNTRY/ROCK ETC ETC- WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES WHY THE HELL IS BLACK CULTURE RELATED MUSIC STYLES AND OVERALL ENTIRE BLACK CULTURE BEING HIJACKED? ITS VERY WEIRD AND CRINGEWORTHY.
"Period" is not black slang😂💀
In the context of how its used nowadays, yes tf it is. Ppl will even put on the accent, do the black girl pout, and do the hand gestures with it. Even got ppl out here saying purr. And I think Dee mentioned it before, but period is recycled slang from the 70's and 80's...still from black ppl. When ppl used to say "point blank period". So you might have heard older ppl use it and assume its not black slang since they're obviously not influenced by internet culture the way millennial and gen z are, but its likely they got it from their "wave" of popular black culture.
Oh lord lol
