I hope this isn’t a stupid question but regarding that “white people tell other white people to stop using AAVE” post… I have a Filipino friend who is very much not Black in any way but uses a TON of AAVE and even has adopted some of the “accent” (for lack of a better word, sorry 😬). She’s Gen Z but like barely, she’s right on the edge of millennial/Z so it’s not like the newest of stolen slang would’ve made up a big chunk of her teen years, but yeah. Is that something I should be calling out? Or should I not say anything to a POC as a white person myself, even though it’s very much not her culture either?

I hope this isn’t offensive at all; I’m just genuinely wondering and am not sure who to ask.

Hell yeah you should call them out, anon. That's allyship~

And it's called a blaccent from what I know and it's actually kinda worse than just using AAVE.

This is just how I feel about people adopting a “Blaccent” like Aquafina.

Just a quick question here. Who is Awkwafina and why is she bad?

Well she's a rapper, actress, and comedian who appropriates AAVE and blaccents and does cultural appropriation. And when called out on her fuckery she gave a non-apology that clearly didn't mean shit. Just looking up "awkwafina racism" will give you plenty info. And the sad thing is, as those articles show, she's not the first East Asian celebrity to do shit like this against Black people. Not stereotyping obviously but a lot of East Asian stars perform cultural appropriation, blaccents, think they can say the n-word, etc.. It's truly heartbreaking to witness, we're supposed to be supporting each other as fellow marginalized groups, but that doesn't stop certain East Asian and KPOP stars from thinking they're niggas.

That kinda dulled down some of my hype for The Little Mermaid(2023). Finding out that this beautiful film with a Black girl in the lead would have this wannabe sistah in it made me all sorts of gross AND OH LET'S NOT FORGET THAT LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA IS IN CHARGE OF THE SCORE TOO LIKE FUCKING REALLY DOES HE NEED TO BE IN FUCKING EVERYTHING HE WROTE A SLAVE PLAY AND A MOVIE ABOUT DOMINICANS WITH NO AFROLATINES IN IT BUT NO LET'S PILE ON THE ANTI-BLACKNESS IN OUR BLACK FEMALE-LED FILM SHALL WE GOSH I LOVE ENCANTO AND WHAT ELSE CAN I DO BUT THIS IS JUST TOO MUCH ahem I'm getting off topic.

The point is: this is why I hate her.

michiko and hatchin is amazing but it will ALWAYS rub me the wrong way with how the English dub just had white people putting on blaccents to voice these black/mixed characters

#michiko and hatchin #blaccent #vocal blackface #seriously why couldn't they just hire actual black people to voice these characters

I’m so tired of people treating AAVE like it’s the new slang. Especially when all our lives people did nothing but tell use we’re wrong and that we can’t speak properly. Those same people are the ones speaking with a blaccent, trying to act as if they’ve always spoken that way. It’s disrespectful is what it is.

#aave #blaccent #especially the Kpop girlies #and tiktok #I’ve done a purge of YouTubers who’ve been doing this

The allure of black adjacent

Why do so many non-black content creators get famous for making content that plays off harmful black stereotypes? Why do so many “creatives” feel inclined to use black culture as a stepping stool to further their careers.

Every black person can name one creator in any artistic field that mimics black people in one way or another. Whether its aesthetics in fashion, music styles, the cadence in which they speak or all of the above. Like J. Cole said in fire squad “look around my n**ga white people have snatched the sound” if you take this literally or metaphorically, the message is the same. That line has made me reevaluate the media I consume and the modern-day minstrelsy that plagues social media.

When looking at artist who have made a profit off black culture, it’s obvious who was there because they lived in it and the ones who were there to benefit. For every Paul Wall, there’s a MGK. For every Jon B. there’s a Justin Timberlake. If you think about any well-respected nonblack person that participates in black culture, they all have one thing in common. They never switched up. Gary Owens started his career performing in front of black crowds with material that black people would understand or relate. After his career took off, he continued to make the same comedy for the same people. On the other hand you have Justin Timberlake, who used black aesthetics to shed his clean boy band image. Singing r&b, wearing cornrows while also ruining a black woman’s career.

Internet famous people have been using this as a tool just as much. One of my favorite commentary youtubers just released a video explaining her previous use of AAVE and blaccent and also benefiting from her ethnically ambiguous look. She recognized the power that comes from aligning yourself with black people/culture. We can argue all day but there are two people that drive the market, teenage girls and black people. Once you get one of those groups on your side you are launched into superstardom.

How is this type of media allowed to continue to grow and produce nobodies into internet stars? Easy, its made for a white audience. Content made using blaccents, misused AAVE and racist stereotypes was always made for the white gaze to laugh at. At 14 I had no problem understanding that those vines made me feel icky, but if you said that you didn’t like it, you were labeled as soft or triggered. When known rapist Curtis LePore was making content that centered around racist tropes like “black guy like watermelon and fried chicken” or “middle eastern guy terrorist” and his friends that were people of color that went along with it were equally as guilty. Besides the comedy being so racist, it also just wasn’t funny. The comedy was equivalent to a six second fart, but their audience loved it. Comparing that to a Dave Chapelle or Key and Peele skit, where they might play on a stereotype but the humor in it is layered.

Fast forward to 2022 and this type of content is still being created, and I have a question, what’s the funny part about this content? Does it reaffirm biases you hold about other races? Even outside of the fact that the material is based on caricatures of different racial groups, it’s also just not funny. Have you ever asked a person who consumes this content on a regular basis what the joke is? They can’t explain, and that’s very telling.

How long will we regurgitate the same nonsense and allow people to continue to disrespect us and make money from it. Getting rich from making fun of others is very stupid and I judge anyone who consumes that content, y’all are very weird for it.
