My favorite is when non-black people try to gaslight me into thinking blaccents are just "Southern accents"... meanwhile I grew up and still live in TEXAS itself
And what makes him think he’s the gatekeeper? There are many underrated, unproblematic mua’s that are 10x better then him😬 he really calling out Alisha like he’s marginalized, like he takes up sooo much space in the makeup community🙄
Aliyah K exactly! and another thing we can bring up that amanda also brought up in a past video was how the makeup community is dominated by men! who is james charles a white man trying to gate keep makeup, a thing seen a “feminine” from a biracial woman?
Hahaha yes something like “People who have no experiencing singing well need to stay away from music because it’s clear they’re just trying to make money”
Brianna Beadle I’ve never even realized how the makeup industry is dominated by white men until you mentioned it. I had to put my phone down to think about that. Wow
I grew up in a predominately Chinese and Korean neighborhood and it would be REAL STRANGE of me if I started speaking like half of the immigrant kids at my school because "that's what I grew up around". lol. Like I def think that when you're non black in a mostly black neighborhood it's -possible- for speech patterns to run off on you but like... I talk like my mom and my mom talks like my grandma and that's why I sound how I sound. So you'd have to be, like, adopted by a black family or something for that to come ~naturally~.
Same. I was born and raised in Florida. My mother is from Delaware. You have no idea how many people have asked me where I'm from because they can't place my accent. I speak the way my mother, aunts, and grandparents speak.
Denny Bick yup same here. I was born in Texas and my mom’s from Pennsylvania. Most people can’t tell where I’m from because I speak like my mom’s side of the family most of the time
Or when Keemstar did it. Paris Hilton has a skincare line and they didn’t say she needs to stay out of it. Millie Bobby Brown gets her makeup done for her and they didn’t tell her she didn’t belong. Alicia Keys is so gentle and kind, why attack her over every other person who has entered the beauty industry when it’s not their brand?
This all stems from people not wanting to admit that black culture is pop culture and that black people influence almost everything popular under the sun
Yvanna B. accurate, i’m not black but i’ve notice that 70% of popular tiktok songs are created by black people yet most tiktokers don’t have respect for black people…
As a black person, the "its just meme/stan culture" response was so annoying. I had to personally check a white boy at my college years ago for telling me he didn't like me "speaking in memes" when I used AAVE with my BLACK FRIENDS. I was not even speaking to him. The audacity.
@@busolaadesokan6045 yeah some people just don't know how to mind their own business and feel like they get to police the people around them. Kind of like those Americans who get upset when someone speaks something other than English around them
the forgiving racist influencers when they didn’t even offend your demographic is like a widespread disease. like, thank you chelsea with blonde hair and blue eyes for letting jeffree star know he’s forgiven calling black women roaches.
Frrr the other day ago I got into argument with an ”ally” about blackface and they told me it’s just makeup like how tf are you an ally for black lives but your not educated on black history like I feel like it’s a trend to others😒
i think i saw something like, a girl calling people ignorant for calling it blackfishing/saying would we call it “whitefishing” if black peoples try to look white.
Performance activism is nauseating. Posting a black square or BLM won't do much. Yes it shows a mass building, a group building and building but what matters too is money. I donated money to a bunch of causes. I don't know many who did. Posting the square and NOT donating to bail funds is meaningless. Posting a square but still being friends with people who are openly racist or make race "jokes" is meaningless. I lost a lot of friends during quarantine - the fake activists and people who refused to cut ties with people who made inappropriate jokes....
I agree. I'm latina and I've noticed a lot of tension between the two communities because many hispanic people feel entitled to black culture simply because more often than not, hispanics and black people have been made to coexist in the same spaces for decades - and all that "Where is our movement" crap that only happens to appear whenever black people express any opinion or distress over the injustice here in the US :/
@@rdiaz4741 And it's ridiculous because Afro Latinos like myself exist. They are so many Black People in Latin America but you already know that they treat us like thrash , just like they do to Indigenous People.
@@gxxttoflowers152 YES SO TRUE! It's like okay so you'll disrespect afrolatinx so you're clearly not so about latino issues as you say you are, but then you disrespect indigenous communities - which are probably the most authentic representation of true latin culture but y'all out here calling them shit...LIKE WHO IS YOUR ACTIVISM FOR THEN? it's that coloziner mindset 😐
Rebeca? I guess? OMFG I SAW THIS LATINA SAY THAT SHE CAN SAY THE N WORD BECAUSE THEY USED TO BE SLAVES AS WELL LMAKSJDJFJDJDJ Also I’m not Latina or black but Asian so can I speak on this lol
Because trends in music, slang, food, style, etc. all come directly from black people but those black creators are not allowed to shine while the copiers are
Liyah Moree oh yeah I didn’t even think of the UK, I’m not familiar with Black people’s affect on the culture there I don’t know a damn thing about the uk lmao
Black influence is so huge that in my bilingual school (we switch between Spanish and English) in Ecuador, a small country in Latin America, there are some people who unconsciously use blaccents. Luckily, the amount of people ignorantly using the N-word and being racist here is much lower than in the US; but the fact that black people aren't given credit for their influence and yet white people are constantly stealing their culture and being PRAISED for it is absolutely mind-boggling and disgusting to me.
somewhat unrelated but i just wanna say thinking it means chili is like the dumbest thing i've ever heard like- how would you even come up with that???💀 english is not my first language so maybe that's why it was easier for me to get it.. it's so confusing to me how you could think it means chili
lucinda r and Lady Gaga line is like 10 years late. She would have made a killing off makeup during her paparazzi days. A few girls at my school were putting mascara on their lips to make them black like hers because it was hard to find black lipstick.
My teachers used to look me dead in the eye and say that I would never be able to get a job or get into college if I didn’t speak “properly” and now people getting money off of black lingo
Exactly. Like when I was younger, I used to pronounce ask like "axe" and I was constantly told by teachers and a speech pathologist at my school that that was "wrong" and they trained me to change how I say it even tho it still slips out sometimes
@@shoaballo641 Years ago, I was having a conversation with my best friend and her step-dad (who's white) as he was giving me a ride home and he randomly asked me why I, and many black people, say "axe" instead of ask even though everything else was spoken "properly". No one had ever pointed it out to me before then and it made me look at him just a bit differently because no one wants someone criticizing/critiquing the way that they speak in the middle of a conversation, even if the person wasn't being intentionally harmful. I haven't said "axe" since then and I guess I would rather have the criticism come from someone that I genuinely know wasn't trying to be rude than someone who is, but it was still a weird and uncomfortable moment.
Yup. When people asked them whether the subtweet was about Selena Gomez they said "No, I love her! I can't wait to try her line!" Honey, your racism is still visible.
the most irritating thing is when non-black people get called out on their blaccent and their defense is “you can’t speak/act a color” like as if AAVE doesn’t exist... 😐
I swear they think they sound so smart when they're in the comments like "LAST time I checked language had no color so I'm not sure how you can 'sound black' 😌" Like sir. Educate yourself pls
And also the blaccent thing is so clearly rude/hurtful and not a compliment because they don’t use it when they’re trying to portray an intellectual moment or a cool character or anything. They only use it when they’re doing something stupid and unfunny.
Its feeds right into the portrayal that blk ppl arent professional, need to assimilate in order to fit into a work or learning space. We'll forever be the brunt of the joke.
I’m not American, English is not my first language and seeing white people using words like “chile, periodt, sis, boo” on the internet made me think that it was just an American thing and that everybody was speaking that way/using those words. I used those words myself and that was really stupid of me because all I had to do was research what those words meant and educate myself. The fact that AAVE, a literal DIALECT was watered down as “stan twitter language” is disgusting. The fact that I’ve seen more white girls with a kpop/Harry Styles pfp using those words on twitter than actual black people is disgusting
Yes! Same! English is my third language and I didn't realize those words were AAVE. It's so sad to watch. Even though racism exists everywhere, I feel like the US is crumbling right now.
Same, I felt so fucking bad for using those words, I need to stop, I didn't know any of this. I'm so sorry for using those words I really thought it was just stan twitter lingo.
I'm black and I'm not gonna speak for others in the black community. But I don't think there's a problem with non black people using certain words that are apart of AAVE, as long as they're not trying to actually fake a blaccent and/or appropriate off our culture. I feel like one thing some people forget is that the more you hear/ read certain words, the more they're going to become a part of your natural vocabulary. And there's honestly nothing wrong with that. As long as it's not being forced and as long as you're not making fun of AAVE I don't really see a problem with non blacks picking up a few words. AS LONG AS IT'S NOT FORCED
James Charles and Manny MUA acting like they have the power to exclude anyone from the beauty community is so hypocritical. 5-6 years ago boys in beauty was still controversial, and some of the biggest advocates for boys in beauty were Black women like Jackie Aina, so them acting like we have to stop Alicia Keys is so weird to me. If anything her dropping a skincare line makes sense since her whole messaging is embracing the skin you're in and a lot of people are always asking her about her routine.
I have a problem with this one here. Ofc hes not gonna say anything about shane cuz look who hes working with. But like why is no one alluding to the fact that they commented about it being makeup makeup before it was known foe skin care. Like gate keeping yes, but i dont understand. Like i get the addison rae point of view but with the sisters it makes more sense since they are more natural. But yall gonna come for me but i dont see this as them two being racist or having that ill intention. Its an honest opinion.
I think it was a thinly veiled attempt to tie himself to a real celebrity. Most influencers fight amongst themselves so news stays in select online communities. But by going after a real star he made it into E! NEWS, Acess Hollywood, etc. Because their news cycles have been so slow
I also hate how when somebody says that they think black lives matter and that they’re not racist y’all wanna invite them to the cookout... like that should be expected not some special thing
Yes! I was always taught that you shouldn’t expect to be rewarded for being a good person(or in this case literally the bare minimum of not being racist). Why can’t people just do good things because it’s the right thing to do?
1232katm exactly !! like i’m very leftist and pro- BLM and everything but am i throwing that around to expect praise?? no bc like that’s the bare minimum is to acknowledge that everyone deserves rights HAHAHA people really wanna b praised for it
I grew up around Republicans but I dont act like them so why do non-black people say that they "grew around black people so thats why I act like that" girl what anyways
I'm on the fence about this one, bc isnt that why most second gen immigrants dont have accents? Like for the most part, you'll find their first gen parents have strong accents from where they came, but second gen kids dont because they adopted the language of the culture around them as they grew up. My mom was raised by two first gen indians and they have rly thick indian accents, but my mom doesnt even speak hindi, and since she was born here, canadian english is her first language. Like dont you think if someone who wasnt black was raised in a predominantly african american area that they would speak like they do?
@@jonathanfoster4202 i see what you mean but not at all. English and AAVE are two different things. I grew up around mostly Chinese kids and as non Chinese person im not about to just copy their accents that's just plain disrespectful. Black people talk differently all over the world and specifically in America not all black people in each state speak the same. So if I grew up in a predominantly Indian neighborhood as a non Indian person am I gonna copy their accents? No y'all want to justify blaccents so bad when they're simply not justifiable
ESP Nmillz Griffin Maxwell Brooks and Caleb king all fake activists but they are popular and capitalize off of false activism nmillz friend did blackface and he's still friends with her and they've never done anything besides just putting up a pfp and talking on camera they haven't donated or protested
@@user_666_ he addressed it in someone elses comment section and said I wouldn't have been friends with her if I didn't think she changed but she still did blackface at the end of the day racists will always be racist they can just hide it now
lets remind ourselves of when zendaya DESTROYED james charles doing a makeup challenge and then he deleted the video because of how embarrassing like sorry to shatter the illusion that you are NOT the king of makeup and maybe black women are better than you xx
@@jollofmuncher does she look black???? No hate on zendaya, but it's a big problem when all the roles for black young women go to biracial people like zendaya and amandla stenberg and zoe kravitz. Are there seriously no young pretty women with black heritage that dont also have white heritage that you can cast?? Smhh
let’s also remember that “stan twitter” like to drag black women and use them as a person as a meme. mariah carey? cardi b? nicki minaj? there’s hella more. they like to poke fun and make a joke out of everything the do, their attitude, the way they talk and turn it into a “meme”. really you’re just showing how you like to love everything about black women besides the fact that they are black women.
This!!!! I absolutely agree but when i pointed it out i got hate for it (yes even by black women) so i'm actually not sure if i was in the wrong that time. I'm really trying to understand this as a non-black trying to ally, but as i have zero black people around me i have no idea where to ask this, would you answer a genuine question i have? Obviously a no won't offend me :)
@Heidi Harper You are not wrong, but race is based on physical characteristics, not your ethnic background. It's more so how others perceive you than who your relatives are because people are going to make their assumptions about your race the second they look at you. Like in the case of Sandra Liang (a black-looking girl born to white parents), no one cared that her parents were white and she got treated as if she was black. I doesn't really matter but, in my opinion, Cardi B has more "black looking" features even though her parents don't and looks like a lighter skin tone black or mixed woman, especially when she wears her natural 3C/4A hair. She still gets treated as if she's a lighter skin black woman and her hispanic background isn't as apparent until she talks. Mariah Carey looks verrry racially ambiguous to me and barely looks mixed so idk too much about that...
Heidi Harper Cardi B lowkey is black tho. Dominicans look more like us than Puerto Ricans (no hate tho and if we can talk about history, there wouldn’t be Dominicans if it want for African ancestry roots) ALSO Trinidadian background as well like Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, etc. so is that not black or...? Am I missing something? Just curiously asking.
Mixed ain't black y'all, if I mixed red and blue you wouldn't say it's red because it has red in it you would say it's purple. If I breed a rottweiler with a pitbull you wouldn't say it's a pure pit because it had pit in it you would say it's a mix (specifically between a rottweiler and pitbull). If I had a bouquet of roses and daisies you wouldn't say it's a bouquet full of only roses because it has roses in it you would say it's a bouquet of roses and daisies. Black ain't about how much racism you experience or if you look black (although if you are black or even mixed with black you will have some or all black features: dark brown eyes, big lips and noses, etc). It's not about how black you act either. Black is when you have two fully black parents and when your blackness makes up the majority of your DNA due to those fully black parents. If anyone who had black in them was black then that girl who had 27% black in her would be considered black. And this one drop rule would apply to other races not just black. So I could identify as being native American or Irish just because I have that blood in me. (VERY little of it lol) Anyone could identify as any race or ethnicity just because they have that in them even though it's clear what they truly are. And let's be honest, what FULLY black person have you seen with light skin, hazel/blue/green eyes, AND 3a/b hair? You ain't gonna get that look in anything else but a mixed/non black person. And stop telling mixed people what they are, accept them as them, which is mixed. I know mixed people who struggle with feeling the need to "choose a side" and you're not making it any better by telling them they're black and then taking they're black card when they don't "act black" or when they show they're white side. Let them be mixed, that's what they are and it's completely fine lol.
But the only reason why that business is in our business is because white people have taken interest, which shows marketability. It’s a disgusting cycle
Pure conquistador energy. "Discovering" shit that was already there then basically saying "it's free real estate 🤪" when they get called out on it. But noooo. Protesters stealing material objects from walmart is when y'all drew the line 😒
@@liyahmoree1401 absolutely true...especially when they offer to make the potatoes salad. No, Susan, you cannot make the potatoes salad.... no bu forreal we need to stop inviting them
I think it can also be attributed to the fact that black artists/singers/entertainers/ public personalities are more influential in the media toda than they ever have been in the past, influencing UA-camrs, instagrammers "tiktokkers"?, whos selling point is mostly how "relatable" they are and consequently younger people are appropriating parts of the african vernacular, often without even releasing they're doing it "On fleek" "turnt" "snatched" "bruh" are a few phrases that come to mind
I'm just dying right now. Are they seriously trying to say that "whew, chile" meant chili pepper? So, they thought they were saying, "whew, chili pepper"?? Like,,,, that doesn't even make sense, they don't even phonetically sound the same in the beginning. I just,,,, can't.
@@eryn2883 yes, exactlyyyyy!! Like, who tf just starts saying shit that they dont know. It doesnt add up. I could understand not knowing at first but why would you use it? Like, you didnt look it up on Urban Dictionary?

I'm British, so have never heard AAVE in real life, and I'm not going to use it. Kombucha girl is just white-washing and gaslighting its disgusting... she is if gentrification was a person.
Can we talk about how everyone is praising white simmers for talking about the lack of skin tones, but they ignore black people who speak about it? I’m so tired of all these white girls being called Queens just for saying the sims needs more skin tones for black people.
Also, why does it matter when they say it? Black simmers have been saying this for years but when a white simmer says it, it suddenly matters and everyone hears? Like I-
They also have the power to pick what stuff pack we are getting. They are the reason why we got Nifty Knitty and upset about the name not being “Luv To Knit” instead. Like you got the stuff pack? Why so fussy about a name? It irks me how they can sway votes.
@@jennyjimenez9722 These are also the same simmers complaining about the silliest things for the game **cough Lilsimsie demanding we name Cowplants cough**
kombucha girl talking about what AAVE is (or what she thinks it is) to black people is the same energy as nikita dragun telling black people what a durag is when they rightfully called her out on it
I think the problem is everybody wants something & we as a collective don’t know when to say. “No, do it on your own”. We do this for other races as well. It’s not a bad thing to help others (especially other races when it comes to unfair treatment) but we should be able to get the same help back. & we got to beg for it.
It’s annoying ever since black twitter got that white girl and her boyfriend expose for their racism everyone has been depending on black twitter like I’m pretty sure there’s other sides of twitter they can ask like other twitter besides black twitter
Lets be honest: The only reason i can think of why influencers have an issue with Alicia Keys making the brand is because they are scared that it will become super popular like Fenty Beauty. And i hope it does.
1no1regrets the who is the issue not the what for these influencers. Like Amanda said why now? Why Alicia keys when celebrities have been doing it for so long?
Unfortunately, there's no way she'll get a job with these videos of her up. These are the farthest thing from professional and doctors should NOT have videos like this up (especially calling people "white monkeys"). Pick one sis. You can't be a health worker with videos like these up
@@mdaly5720 I work in the healthcare field. I can assure you there's NO way on earth she's getting into a hospital if people see these videos. It's not about spreading hate, they're facts. If she wants a future in the medical field, she can not call people "milk monkeys". No hospital is going to accept a doctor like that. You can't be both an honest, tea-spilling UA-cam and a professional doctor. It's doesn't work that way.

This tiktok trend "What would Gen Z do", and there is black vernacular like... and these creators are mostly non-black. How is something that is considered black vernacular, something a generation would say? they really see it as a trend and drives me insane
Correct me if I’m wrong, but just “period” without the t represents a full stop in normal English and not aave? So people use it to put an end to their argument or statement or whatever. I’m genuinely asking to know
Mihika Joshi it’s how you use it. Black people often create new words and reinvent how they are used to suit our culture. Then celebrities get ahold of it and the rest of their white fans wanna tail along. Specifically white girls and gays.
I'm a white person and to be completely honest, I haven't been very educated on black history because the education system has failed me, so I'm taking that responsibility into my own hands. I know its not your place to educate me so you don't have to reply, but if anyone would like to answer my question I'm all ears. Is it okay for me as a white person to use those words every so often? I use "period" sometimes to end arguments and/or agree with someone on something (although I've started to say "full stop" instead), and I have said "sis" and "girl" a few times as well to address friends. I want to make sure it's okay because I'm trying to fix some of my inappropriate behavior that I've been oblivious about for so long.
@@gavanscorner2524 fellow white girl here. And granted I haven't really used those words too often, and i don't because i didn't grow up with them and it's not natural for me so i find it inappropriate for me. But both me and my friend group are all chaotic LGBTQ people and we come up with our own inside jokes. I HIGHLY encourage just using references within your friend group, cuz they serve the same purpose. Plus, that's easier to do anyway Dramatic example, but we watched Pans Labrinth together and what came of that was just us saying "you wanted these grapes you're gonna catch my hands". We meme at a very high production lmao. So rather than ask permission to use words that are already not a great idea, I'd just continue being self aware and have fun making your own lingo within your friend grouping. If you have to ask about the language you're using, it's better to just find your own groove.
I love how james chihuahua says that people who aren't involved in makeup shouldn't be making makeup and yet some his friends that are celebrities have came out with their own makeup. And also in my opinion I think people who don't know how to sing, shouldn't sing at all. Just sayin'😁
Ok ngl y y’all gotta keep his name in ur mouth every second every minute of the day. Like mans’s is like 21 leave him alone, also if a brand reaches out to u to make makeup with them would u decline? No cuz u want the bag, the money they arent MAKING makeup they are COLLABING with a large name brand for some money.
@@smefantamor3677 exactly they were collabing and there's nothing wrong with that. But I don't understand why he thought of calling out alicia keys for "making makeup" when there are a ton of other celebrities who have nothing to do with makeup and yet they release makeup and are praised. And the excuse of saying JaMes Is TwEntY-OnE is ridiculous. He's a full as adult and he knows better. There have been some times where he was cancelled for ridiculous reasons, but if he says bullshit like that and it's ridiculous we're not going to ignore it.
@@smefantamor3677 The point is that James is being hypocritical, not that the damelio sisters are making makeup. He has multiple friends that have made makeup that either weren't in the community or weren't known for their makeup. If there is someone that needs to keep a name out of their mouth, it's James. He had no right to shade Alicia Keys.
As a Chicano who has grown up in a community with mainly fellow chicanos, it definitely makes sense and is understandable for black people to be offended by this. It would be weird to me hearing a white or black person (who wasn’t of Latin descent) putting on a mexican, Puerto Rican, etc. accent, it doesn’t make sense why people choose to use others ways of speaking and saying that it’s a “trend”, it truly doesn’t sit right with me.
Thiissss. I had friends in high school who used the n word and they were all latinx. And i never understood it. Cuz they wouldn't stand that from a white person ever. It wasn't cute, and they picked up misogynoir along with it which was worse
Dog With Logic yes oh my god, it makes no sense. Also like there are some people who were of different race and ethnicity of a Latinx and they’d be using words like “según” or “no mames” and I always thought it was so bizarre and weird.
While I do not agree at all with what James did, but Dixie and Charli didn’t come out with a makeup line, they are just the face of morphe II, like other celebrities have been the face of cover girl, Estée Lauder, etc... what I think he should have done is call out bad bleep or shart dawson for coming our with their makeup lines. Like how to tone deaf does he have to be to not see the hypocrisy in what he said! And the fact that Alicia Keys was actually coming out with skin care makes it even worse
it’s funny how a lot of gen z are all about activism and blm but when it comes to calling out and not supporting certain influencers, then it’s all “cancel culture is so toxic” or (my personal fave) “get over it” 🙄
Exactly I am so annoyed with people like that but it sucks because one day you'll support someone and the next they are getting exposed for being racist.When is this going to stop its annoying.
I'm genuinely kind of worried about the superiority complex gen z could develop from all of the content saying how great and woke we are. Like not really, most still have a lot of work to do.
L. H. Right because it’s like at the end of the day, we’re no better than the last generations. Like okay so a few things we’re more accepting of other than the last few generations but for the most part, we are exactly the same it’s just now being filmed and photographed and plastered on social media. Like the superiority complex of this generation is sad and I’m kind of ashamed to be apart of this generation. We also have a lot of work to do and it’s gonna take a longggg time
Love how the morons saying that don't know that the majority of beauty brands are owned by, get this, old white men who don't wear makeup, let alone, will ever wear makeup.
Also Ashley won instant influencer. She was not white. And she was a girl. She won because she was the best and she’s amazing. Just like how some of the white male makeup influencers did. They worked hard and succeeded.
And now in skincare too. Like Hyram and James Welsh which don’t get me wrong i do enjoy their videos but theres so many women who did it first and some better (dermatologists, esthetician’s, scientists etc) like? We love the gays but cmon what about women...not just because they are women but because they went to school for this but the skincare men guru’s who learned from the women on youtube who are certified get more attention, sponsors, etc..
flxwercxrpse okay I think I understand now. So tell me if I’m wrong. Men and women do the same thing but for some reason white men always make out better. I think. I’m sorry. I know white privilege is real and I have it. I just kinda wanted to believe everyone gets where are because of their talent like it was for me through music school. That’s why on music auditions we play behind a curtain so they judges base our score off our actual skills. Anyways: so white guys who have talent (because there is no denying James and other males talent because they do) but bc of privilege they succeed. The only I guess I disagree with you in is the part about women doing it first. The Soviet’s went to space first. That didn’t mean America couldn’t just because they did. I think everyone has a right do whatever they want. As long as they’re not ya know stealing ideas and whatever. Lmao I actually have a lot of questions for you because I live in a 99% white area and there is only 2 kids African American kids at my school and I’m only friends with one of them.
As a Black woman doctor who’s old enough to be your mom (I watch your videos with my college age son), I am so excited to see your energy. The medical profession needs you!
i hate when people say "i'm white but i'm not racist" like okay, that's how it should be?? i feel like they're just seeking validation or trying to prove they aren't racist when if u weren't u wouldn't have to say u weren't bc people would know ur not.

someone asked manny if his tweet was about selena gomez, and he was like "omg nooo!! love her!!" meanwhile i don't think anyone can name an iconic selena gomez makeup look that would warrant her creating a whole beauty brand unlike someone like zendaya who is known for doing her own unique looks or alicia keys who is known for not wearing makeup and having glowing skin. clearly a race thing....
i used to think AAVE was stan twitter language cause that’s where i first heard it and the only place i heard so i just assumed. but then i saw tweets and threads explaining AAVE and what it is and realized i was really wrong. it’s all about educating yourself and stopping being ignorant.
Same here. I had no idea it wasn’t just stan twitter lingo because shockingly enough, no one was going out of their way to correct the people who buried the history behind these words
same!! it literally takes five seconds to educate yourself. those who aren’t black who see that stuff and keep using AAVE trying to justify it are just denying the fact that they shouldn’t be using it
On TikTok, I got a white girl who tried to cape for skin bleaching in the black community. Her intentions was to be pro-black but it was everything but. Black Americans have came so far addressing colorism and it’s a bigger topic than ever. For this white woman to come and excuse criticism of bleaching as ‘hating black women’ was backwards. Now than ever black women are open and proud of being black, we have more resources and respect for our black features. Skin bleaching is caused by self hate, pressure that white is the ‘standard of beauty’. For a white woman to come and advertise bleaching as fair game to black women is instilling these standards. She could’ve complimented the melanin we were born with or denounced the standard of beauty but nah, she made it clear that it was okay to do this in order to appear closer to this standard. Some of these allies are not for us and are wolves in sheep’s clothing. When corrected by black people in her comments about why her stance on bleaching appeals to white supremacy, she said ‘okay true’ and left her video up because it had many views and likes.
I hate how Jame Charles said something about Alicia Keys and her makeup brand but he didn’t say anything about Charli and Dixie doing a collaboration with morphe and they don’t even do makeup🙄
He has a bias, 1. They are his friends and 2. He made a pallet with Morphe, but he either needs to shade his friends as well to not be hypocritical or close his mouth
As a nonblack POC, a lot of nbpoc will use AAVE then disrespect black people. I think we really we need to acknowledge how nbpoc using AAVE are praised and loved while black people are criticized for it. I myself used to use AAVE a lot, and I’ve been trying to remove it from my vocab and I realized almost all of it was AAVE. People who use AAVE also don’t realize it has rules and isn’t “bad English”. AAVE is considered a dialect by linguists. Both Eddie huang and awkwafina have co-opted AAVE as their whole brand, and honestly I don’t understand.
I feel like Awkwafina is their mother. She was able to tap and use that Blacksent until she got so big she dropped that shit. She is the modern blueprint.
wait fr? i've heard like very little of awkwafina but all i know is that she blew up for one of her songs ?? and i know that she's asian. do u hav any vids tho ?
here's what i don't get: how is it that you start using all this AAVE and the blaccent... but you've never ONCE heard an actual black person say "chile?" nahhhh cap. i can smell it from here.
kombucha girl gets under my skin.... she also made that tiktok about defunding/abolishing the police but she watered down the message and got it all wrong. she's so preachy about things she knows nothing about
Im not black so i cant speak about that but when I watched her get a drag makeover she was so preachy about being a gay ally and whatever and it started to piss me off and i couldnt watch the full video.
Can we also talk about Ariana Grande's "blaccent" because I'm pretty sure that's why a lot of young, white girls are using it... (but no... she's always spoken like that, she's always been that tanned....)
FR!!!! Like, google is free. People make the surprised Pikatchu face when they’re called out for racism, then gaslight everyone into feeling weird for being upset at the racism.
SAY IT LOUDER! I had a six year friendship end because I called out a friend on a microaggression against me and because she’s POC she was so offended she said she didn’t want me in her life 🙃🤧
It’s funny how James Charles fans constantly forgive and make excuses for him. How many times can he be forgiven for the same behavior? With all the drama controversy he’s been in you would think he would learn his lesson by now and stop talking.
I stopped forgiving him after the influencer party, he is a grown man he should have enough common sense to grow from his mistakes and keep his mouth shut, if he is gonna shade Alicia Key for coming out with makeup then she can shade him for singing
Beverly Y exactly! If you’re a real fan of him at least call him out on his BS instead of enabling him. All does is write the same apology and he’s forgiven and praised about how much he’s “grown.”
the fact that james charles had the audacity to come after alicia keys, who is a successful and talented young black celebrity, but yet he had no problem reviewing kesha’s makeup pallet and doing a collab with her and yet kesha is also a young and talented and successful celebrity? like i can’t be the only one who remembers that
The thing is if black people use "twitter lingo" irl they are the "hot cheeto girls" which in translation is usually young black girls that get made fun of for using it at school

I’m sick of how many times I keep seeing ‘allies’ demanding these mixed kids prove they are black in there comments and these kids feel bullied into showing pictures of there parents . It’s ridiculous like who asked you to do all that.
@Heidi Harper They are, because the term "biracial" is referring to two races, therefore mixed ppl are black and white, meaning that they can choose to identify as one of them meaning that they are black.
@@burningflower1 you just said that they can CHOOSE to identify as one of them.. but then you say they ARE black? What about them choosing? This is the issue. You can't tell every mixed kid (black and white or black and another race) that they are simply just bLACK.
I'm also seeing that a lot from other non black people when they should be saying something but don't want to put in the effort to stick up for people.
As a nonblack trying to ally, do you think that me pointing out appropriation issues is also me speaking for the black community? This is a genuine question as i once got hate for it by black women (under a spam account post), so i don't know when i should raise my voice and when i should just shut the hell up lol
Love this video honestly tiktok is the land of stealing from black people and using blaccents. We kind of have the same problem in the UK yt people lovee to incorrectly use black slang, indulge in black culture which is so predominant in the UK. But then when it’s time to stand up for black people it’s *crickets* and most of the time they turn out to be racists 😒
Its the way most of them will use slang thats heavily influenced by patois and afro carribean people but refuse to realise their microaggresions. I cant with uk wypipo
Yet people CLAIM the Uk isn’t racist and racism and cultural appropriation is “an American thing”. Black people in pretty much every country tell me differently.
Girl I saw a white British girl (the OG COLONIZER!!) reply to a someone laughing at british people using aave and she deadass replied with “I only type like that I would NEVER speak like that irl” like????? That is the EXACT issue Miss Colonizer
My favorite is when non-black people try to gaslight me into thinking blaccents are just "Southern accents"... meanwhile I grew up and still live in TEXAS itself
THIS!!!!

i love how so many of the black commentary youtubers actually interact w one another like omg real recognize real 😌
@Chrissy K my thoughts exactly !💛
The king himself has commented. Real facts in this statement right here.
alicia keys never told james charles he couldn’t sing to save his LIFE so why does he think he can try gatekeeping makeup??
And what makes him think he’s the gatekeeper? There are many underrated, unproblematic mua’s that are 10x better then him😬 he really calling out Alisha like he’s marginalized, like he takes up sooo much space in the makeup community🙄
💕 PERIOD 💕
Aliyah K exactly! and another thing we can bring up that amanda also brought up in a past video was how the makeup community is dominated by men! who is james charles a white man trying to gate keep makeup, a thing seen a “feminine” from a biracial woman?
Hahaha yes something like “People who have no experiencing singing well need to stay away from music because it’s clear they’re just trying to make money”
Brianna Beadle I’ve never even realized how the makeup industry is dominated by white men until you mentioned it. I had to put my phone down to think about that. Wow

I grew up in a predominately Chinese and Korean neighborhood and it would be REAL STRANGE of me if I started speaking like half of the immigrant kids at my school because "that's what I grew up around". lol.
Like I def think that when you're non black in a mostly black neighborhood it's -possible- for speech patterns to run off on you but like... I talk like my mom and my mom talks like my grandma and that's why I sound how I sound. So you'd have to be, like, adopted by a black family or something for that to come ~naturally~.
Say that Kat!
omg hi!!!
Same. I was born and raised in Florida. My mother is from Delaware. You have no idea how many people have asked me where I'm from because they can't place my accent. I speak the way my mother, aunts, and grandparents speak.
True
Denny Bick yup same here. I was born in Texas and my mom’s from Pennsylvania. Most people can’t tell where I’m from because I speak like my mom’s side of the family most of the time
Kenya was right when they didn’t say anything about Shane Dawson coming into the beauty community and he didn’t even wash his face before 🤢
Or when Keemstar did it. Paris Hilton has a skincare line and they didn’t say she needs to stay out of it. Millie Bobby Brown gets her makeup done for her and they didn’t tell her she didn’t belong. Alicia Keys is so gentle and kind, why attack her over every other person who has entered the beauty industry when it’s not their brand?

Performance activism is nauseating. Posting a black square or BLM won't do much. Yes it shows a mass building, a group building and building but what matters too is money. I donated money to a bunch of causes. I don't know many who did. Posting the square and NOT donating to bail funds is meaningless. Posting a square but still being friends with people who are openly racist or make race "jokes" is meaningless.

Black influence is so huge that in my bilingual school (we switch between Spanish and English) in Ecuador, a small country in Latin America, there are some people who unconsciously use blaccents. Luckily, the amount of people ignorantly using the N-word and being racist here is much lower than in the US; but the fact that black people aren't given credit for their influence and yet white people are constantly stealing their culture and being PRAISED for it is absolutely mind-boggling and disgusting to me.

Exactly. Like when I was younger, I used to pronounce ask like "axe" and I was constantly told by teachers and a speech pathologist at my school that that was "wrong" and they trained me to change how I say it even tho it still slips out sometimes
@@shoaballo641 Years ago, I was having a conversation with my best friend and her step-dad (who's white) as he was giving me a ride home and he randomly asked me why I, and many black people, say "axe" instead of ask even though everything else was spoken "properly". No one had ever pointed it out to me before then and it made me look at him just a bit differently because no one wants someone criticizing/critiquing the way that they speak in the middle of a conversation, even if the person wasn't being intentionally harmful.
I haven't said "axe" since then and I guess I would rather have the criticism come from someone that I genuinely know wasn't trying to be rude than someone who is, but it was still a weird and uncomfortable moment.

LITERALLY
and those same non-black people say that certain black people "sound white" bbg you cannot have it both ways.
Yes! It’s such an infuriating statement to make
And also the blaccent thing is so clearly rude/hurtful and not a compliment because they don’t use it when they’re trying to portray an intellectual moment or a cool character or anything. They only use it when they’re doing something stupid and unfunny.
Its feeds right into the portrayal that blk ppl arent professional, need to assimilate in order to fit into a work or learning space. We'll forever be the brunt of the joke.
Wow yes you hit it right on the head
girls at my school use a blaccent but when i called them out they said it was "hood"...girl. you do not naturally talk that way and we all know it

I’m not American, English is not my first language and seeing white people using words like “chile, periodt, sis, boo” on the internet made me think that it was just an American thing and that everybody was speaking that way/using those words. I used those words myself and that was really stupid of me because all I had to do was research what those words meant and educate myself. The fact that AAVE, a literal DIALECT was watered down as “stan twitter language” is disgusting. The fact that I’ve seen more white girls with a kpop/Harry Styles pfp using those words on twitter than actual black people is disgusting
Yes! Same! English is my third language and I didn't realize those words were AAVE. It's so sad to watch. Even though racism exists everywhere, I feel like the US is crumbling right now.
Same, I felt so fucking bad for using those words, I need to stop, I didn't know any of this. I'm so sorry for using those words I really thought it was just stan twitter lingo.
You just said a MOUTH FULL!! Love that
sad thing is, is that I'm canadian and I really had no idea that saying "sis" was AAVE. but now I'm making an effort to stop saying these words.
I'm black and I'm not gonna speak for others in the black community. But I don't think there's a problem with non black people using certain words that are apart of AAVE, as long as they're not trying to actually fake a blaccent and/or appropriate off our culture. I feel like one thing some people forget is that the more you hear/ read certain words, the more they're going to become a part of your natural vocabulary. And there's honestly nothing wrong with that. As long as it's not being forced and as long as you're not making fun of AAVE I don't really see a problem with non blacks picking up a few words. AS LONG AS IT'S NOT FORCED
James Charles and Manny MUA acting like they have the power to exclude anyone from the beauty community is so hypocritical. 5-6 years ago boys in beauty was still controversial, and some of the biggest advocates for boys in beauty were Black women like Jackie Aina, so them acting like we have to stop Alicia Keys is so weird to me. If anything her dropping a skincare line makes sense since her whole messaging is embracing the skin you're in and a lot of people are always asking her about her routine.

I'm on the fence about this one, bc isnt that why most second gen immigrants dont have accents?

My mom was raised by two first gen indians and they have rly thick indian accents, but my mom doesnt even speak hindi, and since she was born here, canadian english is her first language. Like dont you think if someone who wasnt black was raised in a predominantly african american area that they would speak like they do?

I'm really trying to understand this as a non-black trying to ally, but as i have zero black people around me i have no idea where to ask this, would you answer a genuine question i have? Obviously a no won't offend me :)
Heidi Harper mariah carey is still a black women. being biracial doesn’t change that. and cardi b is afrolatina. still black.
@Heidi Harper You are not wrong, but race is based on physical characteristics, not your ethnic background. It's more so how others perceive you than who your relatives are because people are going to make their assumptions about your race the second they look at you. Like in the case of Sandra Liang (a black-looking girl born to white parents), no one cared that her parents were white and she got treated as if she was black.
I doesn't really matter but, in my opinion, Cardi B has more "black looking" features even though her parents don't and looks like a lighter skin tone black or mixed woman, especially when she wears her natural 3C/4A hair. She still gets treated as if she's a lighter skin black woman and her hispanic background isn't as apparent until she talks.
Mariah Carey looks verrry racially ambiguous to me and barely looks mixed so idk too much about that...
Heidi Harper Cardi B lowkey is black tho. Dominicans look more like us than Puerto Ricans (no hate tho and if we can talk about history, there wouldn’t be Dominicans if it want for African ancestry roots) ALSO Trinidadian background as well like Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, etc. so is that not black or...? Am I missing something? Just curiously asking.
Mixed ain't black y'all, if I mixed red and blue you wouldn't say it's red because it has red in it you would say it's purple. If I breed a rottweiler with a pitbull you wouldn't say it's a pure pit because it had pit in it you would say it's a mix (specifically between a rottweiler and pitbull). If I had a bouquet of roses and daisies you wouldn't say it's a bouquet full of only roses because it has roses in it you would say it's a bouquet of roses and daisies. Black ain't about how much racism you experience or if you look black (although if you are black or even mixed with black you will have some or all black features: dark brown eyes, big lips and noses, etc). It's not about how black you act either. Black is when you have two fully black parents and when your blackness makes up the majority of your DNA due to those fully black parents. If anyone who had black in them was black then that girl who had 27% black in her would be considered black. And this one drop rule would apply to other races not just black. So I could identify as being native American or Irish just because I have that blood in me. (VERY little of it lol) Anyone could identify as any race or ethnicity just because they have that in them even though it's clear what they truly are. And let's be honest, what FULLY black person have you seen with light skin, hazel/blue/green eyes, AND 3a/b hair? You ain't gonna get that look in anything else but a mixed/non black person. And stop telling mixed people what they are, accept them as them, which is mixed. I know mixed people who struggle with feeling the need to "choose a side" and you're not making it any better by telling them they're black and then taking they're black card when they don't "act black" or when they show they're white side. Let them be mixed, that's what they are and it's completely fine lol.
Amanda the business that pays them is minding black peoples business and that’s the problem
So true

I must be the only black person not fazed by any of this
IHateTheHeat ! Just bc you’re unfazed doesn’t mean others aren’t. It’s okay if you aren’t and it’s okay if you are.
I think it can also be attributed to the fact that black artists/singers/entertainers/ public personalities are more influential in the media toda than they ever have been in the past, influencing UA-camrs, instagrammers "tiktokkers"?, whos selling point is mostly how "relatable" they are and consequently younger people are appropriating parts of the african vernacular, often without even releasing they're doing it "On fleek" "turnt" "snatched" "bruh" are a few phrases that come to mind

Can we talk about how everyone is praising white simmers for talking about the lack of skin tones, but they ignore black people who speak about it? I’m so tired of all these white girls being called Queens just for saying the sims needs more skin tones for black people.
Blink? :D hello fellow blink! And your right I hate that people give more praise to the white females who speak about it like uhm no...
This. They just did the bare minimum, and it's sad that everyone has to praise them for being a decent person.
Also, why does it matter when they say it? Black simmers have been saying this for years but when a white simmer says it, it suddenly matters and everyone hears? Like I-
They also have the power to pick what stuff pack we are getting. They are the reason why we got Nifty Knitty and upset about the name not being “Luv To Knit” instead. Like you got the stuff pack? Why so fussy about a name? It irks me how they can sway votes.

It’s not a bad thing to help others (especially other races when it comes to unfair treatment) but we should be able to get the same help back. & we got to beg for it.
They will not see heaven.

Lets be honest: The only reason i can think of why influencers have an issue with Alicia Keys making the brand is because they are scared that it will become super popular like Fenty Beauty. And i hope it does.
I was already gonna buy it, but now I'm getting double & I'ma preorder it 😂😂😂 their plan backfired in every single which way

SAYING WORDS THAT BELONGED TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY FIRST DOESN'T. MAKE. YOU. AN. ALLY. i.e period/periodt, gurl, sis, general AAVE, etc, etc.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but just “period” without the t represents a full stop in normal English and not aave? So people use it to put an end to their argument or statement or whatever. I’m genuinely asking to know
it makes me cringe cuz people try to come up to me like periat pooh sis
Mihika Joshi it’s how you use it. Black people often create new words and reinvent how they are used to suit our culture. Then celebrities get ahold of it and the rest of their white fans wanna tail along. Specifically white girls and gays.
I'm a white person and to be completely honest, I haven't been very educated on black history because the education system has failed me, so I'm taking that responsibility into my own hands. I know its not your place to educate me so you don't have to reply, but if anyone would like to answer my question I'm all ears. Is it okay for me as a white person to use those words every so often? I use "period" sometimes to end arguments and/or agree with someone on something (although I've started to say "full stop" instead), and I have said "sis" and "girl" a few times as well to address friends. I want to make sure it's okay because I'm trying to fix some of my inappropriate behavior that I've been oblivious about for so long.
@@gavanscorner2524 fellow white girl here. And granted I haven't really used those words too often, and i don't because i didn't grow up with them and it's not natural for me so i find it inappropriate for me.
But both me and my friend group are all chaotic LGBTQ people and we come up with our own inside jokes. I HIGHLY encourage just using references within your friend group, cuz they serve the same purpose. Plus, that's easier to do anyway
Dramatic example, but we watched Pans Labrinth together and what came of that was just us saying "you wanted these grapes you're gonna catch my hands". We meme at a very high production lmao.
So rather than ask permission to use words that are already not a great idea, I'd just continue being self aware and have fun making your own lingo within your friend grouping. If you have to ask about the language you're using, it's better to just find your own groove.
I love how james chihuahua says that people who aren't involved in makeup shouldn't be making makeup and yet some his friends that are celebrities have came out with their own makeup. And also in my opinion I think people who don't know how to sing, shouldn't sing at all. Just sayin'😁
Period 💅🏼
That’s on *woOmp wooMp woOmP, yEah yEaH yeaH*
Ok ngl y y’all gotta keep his name in ur mouth every second every minute of the day. Like mans’s is like 21 leave him alone, also if a brand reaches out to u to make makeup with them would u decline? No cuz u want the bag, the money they arent MAKING makeup they are COLLABING with a large name brand for some money.
@@smefantamor3677 exactly they were collabing and there's nothing wrong with that. But I don't understand why he thought of calling out alicia keys for "making makeup" when there are a ton of other celebrities who have nothing to do with makeup and yet they release makeup and are praised. And the excuse of saying JaMes Is TwEntY-OnE is ridiculous. He's a full as adult and he knows better. There have been some times where he was cancelled for ridiculous reasons, but if he says bullshit like that and it's ridiculous we're not going to ignore it.
@@smefantamor3677 The point is that James is being hypocritical, not that the damelio sisters are making makeup. He has multiple friends that have made makeup that either weren't in the community or weren't known for their makeup. If there is someone that needs to keep a name out of their mouth, it's James. He had no right to shade Alicia Keys.
They be trying to use all the aave they can in a single sentence 💀
As a Chicano who has grown up in a community with mainly fellow chicanos, it definitely makes sense and is understandable for black people to be offended by this. It would be weird to me hearing a white or black person (who wasn’t of Latin descent) putting on a mexican, Puerto Rican, etc. accent, it doesn’t make sense why people choose to use others ways of speaking and saying that it’s a “trend”, it truly doesn’t sit right with me.
Thiissss. I had friends in high school who used the n word and they were all latinx. And i never understood it. Cuz they wouldn't stand that from a white person ever. It wasn't cute, and they picked up misogynoir along with it which was worse
Dog With Logic yes oh my god, it makes no sense. Also like there are some people who were of different race and ethnicity of a Latinx and they’d be using words like “según” or “no mames” and I always thought it was so bizarre and weird.
alicia keys probably doesnt even know what a james charles is
💀Im dead
" a james charles" LMAO
Why did James come for Alisha but not Charli and Dixie...
Exactly.
While I do not agree at all with what James did, but Dixie and Charli didn’t come out with a makeup line, they are just the face of morphe II, like other celebrities have been the face of cover girl, Estée Lauder, etc... what I think he should have done is call out bad bleep or shart dawson for coming our with their makeup lines. Like how to tone deaf does he have to be to not see the hypocrisy in what he said! And the fact that Alicia Keys was actually coming out with skin care makes it even worse

I'm genuinely kind of worried about the superiority complex gen z could develop from all of the content saying how great and woke we are. Like not really, most still have a lot of work to do.
what are gen z?
L. H. Right because it’s like at the end of the day, we’re no better than the last generations. Like okay so a few things we’re more accepting of other than the last few generations but for the most part, we are exactly the same it’s just now being filmed and photographed and plastered on social media. Like the superiority complex of this generation is sad and I’m kind of ashamed to be apart of this generation. We also have a lot of work to do and it’s gonna take a longggg time

one word: Shane

and as soon as he made a beauty brand he would post pictures of his “eye looks“ and they looked HORRID

Omgggg
on it sis
@Serena Magnolia what?
it pisses me off how the most popular makeup "gurus" are white men..wtf
Yep. White privilege doesn’t wash away because you’re gay or trans.
I think James Charles just worked really hard to get where he is. He used his talents and did his best. Also Brettman and Louie aren’t white
Also Ashley won instant influencer. She was not white. And she was a girl. She won because she was the best and she’s amazing. Just like how some of the white male makeup influencers did. They worked hard and succeeded.
And now in skincare too. Like Hyram and James Welsh which don’t get me wrong i do enjoy their videos but theres so many women who did it first and some better (dermatologists, esthetician’s, scientists etc) like? We love the gays but cmon what about women...not just because they are women but because they went to school for this but the skincare men guru’s who learned from the women on youtube who are certified get more attention, sponsors, etc..
flxwercxrpse okay I think I understand now. So tell me if I’m wrong. Men and women do the same thing but for some reason white men always make out better. I think. I’m sorry. I know white privilege is real and I have it. I just kinda wanted to believe everyone gets where are because of their talent like it was for me through music school. That’s why on music auditions we play behind a curtain so they judges base our score off our actual skills. Anyways: so white guys who have talent (because there is no denying James and other males talent because they do) but bc of privilege they succeed. The only I guess I disagree with you in is the part about women doing it first. The Soviet’s went to space first. That didn’t mean America couldn’t just because they did. I think everyone has a right do whatever they want. As long as they’re not ya know stealing ideas and whatever. Lmao I actually have a lot of questions for you because I live in a 99% white area and there is only 2 kids African American kids at my school and I’m only friends with one of them.
As a Black woman doctor who’s old enough to be your mom (I watch your videos with my college age son), I am so excited to see your energy. The medical profession needs you!
i hate when people say "i'm white but i'm not racist" like okay, that's how it should be?? i feel like they're just seeking validation or trying to prove they aren't racist when if u weren't u wouldn't have to say u weren't bc people would know ur not.
Cuz people assume every white person is racist like wtf do y’all want seaport? Obviously not cuz it’s rejected and weird as y’all say

i used to think AAVE was stan twitter language cause that’s where i first heard it and the only place i heard so i just assumed. but then i saw tweets and threads explaining AAVE and what it is and realized i was really wrong. it’s all about educating yourself and stopping being ignorant.
Same here. I had no idea it wasn’t just stan twitter lingo because shockingly enough, no one was going out of their way to correct the people who buried the history behind these words
same!! it literally takes five seconds to educate yourself. those who aren’t black who see that stuff and keep using AAVE trying to justify it are just denying the fact that they shouldn’t be using it
i taught my history teacher about AAVE/EBONICS, he just thought it was like meme/twitter culture

Facts. Like, just stay in your lane; this isn’t a game of bumper cars.
On TikTok, I got a white girl who tried to cape for skin bleaching in the black community. Her intentions was to be pro-black but it was everything but. Black Americans have came so far addressing colorism and it’s a bigger topic than ever. For this white woman to come and excuse criticism of bleaching as ‘hating black women’ was backwards. Now than ever black women are open and proud of being black, we have more resources and respect for our black features. Skin bleaching is caused by self hate, pressure that white is the ‘standard of beauty’. For a white woman to come and advertise bleaching as fair game to black women is instilling these standards. She could’ve complimented the melanin we were born with or denounced the standard of beauty but nah, she made it clear that it was okay to do this in order to appear closer to this standard. Some of these allies are not for us and are wolves in sheep’s clothing. When corrected by black people in her comments about why her stance on bleaching appeals to white supremacy, she said ‘okay true’ and left her video up because it had many views and likes.
“That’s what happens when you’re loud and wrong.” Say it again.
She needs to say it louder for the ppl in the back

As a nonblack POC, a lot of nbpoc will use AAVE then disrespect black people. I think we really we need to acknowledge how nbpoc using AAVE are praised and loved while black people are criticized for it. I myself used to use AAVE a lot, and I’ve been trying to remove it from my vocab and I realized almost all of it was AAVE. People who use AAVE also don’t realize it has rules and isn’t “bad English”. AAVE is considered a dialect by linguists.
Both Eddie huang and awkwafina have co-opted AAVE as their whole brand, and honestly I don’t understand.
I feel like Awkwafina is their mother. She was able to tap and use that Blacksent until she got so big she dropped that shit. She is the modern blueprint.
wait fr? i've heard like very little of awkwafina but all i know is that she blew up for one of her songs ?? and i know that she's asian. do u hav any vids tho ?
You know I just realized this and I can’t believe I didn’t realize sooner.
here's what i don't get: how is it that you start using all this AAVE and the blaccent... but you've never ONCE heard an actual black person say "chile?" nahhhh cap. i can smell it from here.

The thing is if black people use "twitter lingo" irl they are the "hot cheeto girls" which in translation is usually young black girls that get made fun of for using it at school
THIS
The thing that gets me: *why does every celebrity have a racist past to apologize for*
Ikr!!
Can we talk about Mark Walburgersandfries having a whole section on his Wikipedia page that talks about how he committed a legit hate crime and he STILL HAS A BOOMING CAREER IN HOLLYWOOD
@@cristenkray5192 girl I been saying this and the response is always "hE dId HiS tImE" okay and? He threw rocks at black CHILDREN that's a terrible terrible kind of hate that doesn't just go away.
honey, rigs and twigs ONG EXACTLY!!!!
Right!! Like did every white middle age person go through a racist period
Honestly, I’m glad I left tiktok. Even though I miss my black creators, spirituality creators & occasional memes, the app just made me feel some type of way with all that’s going on from the app.
The colorism was bad for my health tbh I don’t need anymore self esteem issues 😩
The daily interactions, raysis or CA's going viral daily... for what?? Id rather get info i need from twitter or youtubers
yes, the toxicity was too much
"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery mediocrity can pay to greatness" ok but Oscar Wilde didn't lie.
I’ve never heard that whole quote before
Every man can be a misogynist. Straight or not. :(
yess
I'm bamboozled by the fact that Americans call it "stan twitter language" when I'm an italian from Italy and I know that's aave...and I know close to nothing about AA culture except what I looked for while educating myself in the years after high school
I’m sick of how many times I keep seeing ‘allies’ demanding these mixed kids prove they are black in there comments and these kids feel bullied into showing pictures of there parents . It’s ridiculous like who asked you to do all that.
@Heidi Harper They are, because the term "biracial" is referring to two races, therefore mixed ppl are black and white, meaning that they can choose to identify as one of them meaning that they are black.
@@burningflower1
Are you stupid?
@@burningflower1 you just said that they can CHOOSE to identify as one of them.. but then you say they ARE black? What about them choosing? This is the issue. You can't tell every mixed kid (black and white or black and another race) that they are simply just bLACK.
@@tinalove4324 I didnt mean it that way, I mean they can choose their race depending on what race their parents identify as.
that’s a great question. i mean, everyone wants our melanin until it’s time to EMBODY our melanin.😌✨
I see a lot of “I know it’s not my place to say anything...” exactly. Not your place. Move along. Especially when they’re dead wrong.
I'm also seeing that a lot from other non black people when they should be saying something but don't want to put in the effort to stick up for people.
As a nonblack trying to ally, do you think that me pointing out appropriation issues is also me speaking for the black community? This is a genuine question as i once got hate for it by black women (under a spam account post), so i don't know when i should raise my voice and when i should just shut the hell up lol
Broom Bed no! The problem is when non black people try to tell black people how they should feel about things ect!
Annie Sham yes you’re doing the right thing. People who aren’t black should say the N word period
Alicia yup. It’s either they don’t feel like putting in the effort to stand up for people or they take it too far and end up being straight up wrong
Where was everyone when Shane, Dixie, Charlie, Addison, and Selena, etc. There is a reason that she was the only one “called out”.
Love this video honestly tiktok is the land of stealing from black people and using blaccents. We kind of have the same problem in the UK yt people lovee to incorrectly use black slang, indulge in black culture which is so predominant in the UK. But then when it’s time to stand up for black people it’s *crickets* and most of the time they turn out to be racists 😒
👏👏👏👏👏 worddd
Its the way most of them will use slang thats heavily influenced by patois and afro carribean people but refuse to realise their microaggresions. I cant with uk wypipo
Liyah Moree frrr it’s so annoying. Look how silent they were when the BBC boldly said the n word on national tv TWICE in like two weeks
Yet people CLAIM the Uk isn’t racist and racism and cultural appropriation is “an American thing”. Black people in pretty much every country tell me differently.
Also the people that posted the black square, in my town personally, were known to say micro-aggressions
Girl I saw a white British girl (the OG COLONIZER!!) reply to a someone laughing at british people using aave and she deadass replied with “I only type like that I would NEVER speak like that irl” like????? That is the EXACT issue Miss Colonizer
I’m sorry. It’s like saying that if you are german then you are nazi...
*coloniser
i cant with people like u lol
lmfao calling a british person colonizer jus because they are british i cant with u. u cant tell people how to write
@@anastasiiaiurkova8897 thats literally like saying if ur german u are a nazi. i cant with people like you lmfao bye
"I know it's the spirit of your ancestors but why y'all steal so much" I JUST CHOKED
