Shit like this really does hurt and make Black comrades feel alienated. It’s pretty clear that he’s appropriating AAVE to be “ironic” because of course an educated rich white male wouldn’t normally talk so “funny.” Pisses me off that these are the people we’re supposed to see as leaders tbh.

    I generally think that’s alright then (though I’m really not someone whose opinion really matters on this). Like, I say y’all a lot irl because I’ve lived in the south my whole life, and I use it when typing too. But what I’m talking about is people saying words that would sound completely awkward coming out of their mouths irl, because I know them irl and I know they don’t talk like that
