#im so tired #how hard is it to mind ur fucking business #no bc I was watching this video essay on where white teen culture has gone #like apparently in the 90s u could very easily distinguish black culture from white culture in clothing speech mannerisms etc. #and that The fact that you barely Can now is seen as progressive when the truth is that it’s not mixing it’s just black culture being stolen #again. like always. #and that got me thinking bc u Can genuinely tell when they pick something up and drop it just as fast #question who uses lit anymore? #how long did we use lit before they blew it up? #easy #and for me personally what bothers me the most is that AAVE is regional #like AAVE in Texas is different than AAVE in Florida #but when It’s Texan AAVE being blown up ppl in Florida JUST heard about it too #so it gives white ppl the ability to say ‘it’s not a race thing it’s a gen z’ thing or smth like that #when the reason that it blew up so much culturally is white ppls inability to leave shit alone #like white ppls need to steal everything is being sucked into the natural shift of language #as well as with fashion and shit #and It’s annoying bc they’re rewriting history #like it’d be one thing if it was just learning a new word and using it #It’s not tho #It’s seeing a new word not using it correctly blowing up that incorrect usage throwing it away when ur done #and STILL being racist as hell the entire time #like damn everyone’s racist but at least other poc have the decency to say ‘oh this is a hair oil predominantly found in black cultures 😁’ #poc solidarity has been bs for awhile but at least you won’t find a brown person saying pearls make them look like Marsha p Johnson #fuck
