also i hate when nonblack ppl on here use aave to seem “scarier” if that makes sense? like they think a certain way of talking is more intimidating and aggressive and it’s hm, interesting

They always use it to sound
1. More intimidating
2. More reckless
3. Sexually aggressive

Which is all you need to know about what they think of us. That’s my main problem with non-Black people using AAVE. Their use of it mirrors the stereotypes that they associate with us. It makes *our* language seem “dirtier” or inferior because they use it in shitty contexts.
