WHY DO WHITE PEOPLE ACT AS IF...

ON EBONICS AND AAVE


Linguists estimate that AAVE is spoken by 80-90% of African Americans, at least in some settings.

In addition, researchers at the University of Michigan found that most AAVE speakers use it in less than one third of their speech events.
Furthermore, AAVE is occasionally spoken by members of other racial and ethnic groups; these people are considered to be part of the AAVE “speech community”.

WATCHING VANILLA ISIS IN OREGON WHILE REMEMBERING CHOCOLATE MOVE IN PHILLY






Anybody thinking about the 1985 police bombing of M.O.V.E. in Philadelphia just about now?



If not, read more: 

"After my stories last week on the 30th anniversary of the MOVE siege in West Philadelphia in 1985, in which Philadelphia police dropped a bomb on a [black] residential neighborhood, leaving 11 dead — including five children — we were surprised by how many people told us they'd never heard of the bombing."
