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.

    come to think of it, I am certain that I have heard Will use both "homies" and "prayers up" a few times on streams, the podcast, periscope, twitch. I'm not going to go through hundreds of hours to find timestamps, but it's not something he only does on twitter and I don't think he's being ironic or trying to derive humor from the contrast, he's just talking
