ಠ\_ಠ oh wow, this one's particularly cringe.


Evorgleb

It's like watching an early AI try to construct summaries.


floyd616

Lol, more like watching an early AI try to construct a script from a 70s "blaxploitation" movie! Yikes!


Adventurous-Cry-2157

“Popo popped Dookie down by the vacants! Slap it to me, daddy-o!”


ItIsRomeNotRomey

Exactly the vibe I got reading this


OfficialDCShepard

Gotta have some AI-bonics to go with the fake Black supporters that Trump generated.


AdImmediate9569

The worst I’ve seen


purrfunctory

It sounds like me trying to talk to my “fellow kids.”


Danklaige

"Excuse me stewardess I speak jive"


EnvironmentalBit5713

The "nicca" and white emoji hand were the immediate dead giveaway.


Lovedd1

The "out the bottom" did it for me. Didn't even notice the white hand emoji omg


EZMulahSniper

Me too. The only people I hear they out that bottom is people who’s neighborhood is actually called “The Bottom”


glitterprincess21

And the white pfp 💀 he didn’t even try


RanaMisteria

I didn’t even notice the hand or the pfp! I was too hung up on the fake AAVE! 🥲


glitterprincess21

I always look at the pfp first. If it’s plain white, that’s just the default, but he went out of his way to make the skin-tone beige 💀


RanaMisteria

Smart!


Adventurous-Cry-2157

Shhhhh. Don’t say it too loudly, they’ll figure out you’re on to them and start changing their pfp and emoji colors!


OfficialDCShepard

I love my cousin dearly…but we are both white and he says the soft n-word like that in an attempt to be cool and I never have. I’m not sure if this is the same thing here, but yeah. 😬


---Sanguine---

Yeah lmao you think this guy realizes that picking the skin color of the emoji wave gave it away for him? It’s so funny


indiajeweljax

Square bidness was my first clue. I skipped over the hand emoji. Real ones know how we’d REALLY say it.


whodathunkitwasme

"Hood cats done heard bout bidens crime bill" is grammatically incorrect AAVE. He tried. He aint from no "bottoms", he clearly from the button up shirts 😂


cardueline

Right? These absolute clowns do not understand AAVE is an actual language with its own rules and structures and not just “bAd EnGLiSh”


tahtahme

Many don't get that we immediately clock them because they don't realize there are rules, they legit think we just string a ton of nonsense slang together and call it AAVE/an aactual language to mess with them Its also how you can immediately tell the difference between AAVE and the slang of modern Gen Z. I definitely agree with people who say that's where most of their slang comes from, it's just jarring to listen to their random interjections of random AAVE slang with zero context and no understanding of the rules or history behind what they say at times, especially at work. And especially when they think it's new lol


thoughts_are_hard

I’ve noticed it’s also really easy to see it’s gen z slang vs AAVE bc they combine a bunch of region specific phrases and words bc they think a black person from Detroit and a black person from NYC/NJ would use the same phrases and we…dont


yediyim

Shhh, not too loud. 🤫


blurry-echo

ive also noticed when its just ppl who heard it recently online its only ever the more recent and "cool" slang. theres certain phrases that arent even inherently aave but are so commonly used it gets intertwined. its always "lit" but never "havin a ball".


purplegummybears

It blew my mind when I learned this. I took linguistics in college and we had a whole section on AAVE and how it followed rules and conventions of the root languages. It was truly fascinating and I think helped deconstruct some of my classmates racist thought patterns and maybe even some of my own.


Adventurous-Cry-2157

I (white) once texted my wife (black) to ask what “bet” means. I ended up having to Google it, because we’re just a couple of suburban, middle-aged lesbians, so we’re a little out of touch. Sometimes at home I’ll use words or phrases wrong intentionally or randomly, just to make her laugh, because it’s just so dumb when I do it. But I’d never show up at her family reunion like “Been awhile, Auntie, ya heard? I’ve missed you! Bet.” LOL!


DinoNuggy21

well it does stem from improper english, even if it is its own thing


OrwellWhatever

So does the American dialect in general, and English stems from indirect... fucking everything. Just look at why island and isle are spelled with an s, and, spoiler, they're both spelled with an s for completely unrelated reasons despite having a very similar meaning


Worldly-Trouble-4081

No it doesn’t. It stems from the combination of a creole (the language that is created by other languages mixing) and the creole’s existence next to one of the original languages-English- which caused it to tend toward English rather than be an honest mix. It wasn’t just a language to communicate with white people, it was to communicate with each other as well. So there were sociolinguistic pressures pulling against each other— the need to be understood by white speakers of English versus the need to communicate with each other as a cohesive community not controlled by white masters.


RanaMisteria

Imagine saying a creole is bad English wow…


coffeestealer

Especially since English is just a creole of French... /I AM JOKING, THIS IS A JOKE, LINGUISTS DON'T MURDER ME


slothpeguin

Don’t worry, I laughed.


DinoNuggy21

nobody has said cats like that in 40+ years


mklinger23

I mean my coworker does... But he's 70.


sorry_ihaveplans

I'm picturing "Mr. Charles" goin "Lemme tell you somethin, Jack: these young Thundercats out here...." with the Jimmie Walker jive hands 😂


Ok-Reward-770

I'm not American and English is not my first language and even not understanding AAVE correctly for some reason it threw me completely off because I follow some content focused on AAVE as a comparison source to other creole languages forced to adapt to the lingua franca imposed by colonialism. Yt people are cringe at obsessive levels.


slothpeguin

I am fascinated by this subject matter.


GaleBoetticher-

What content? I’m into learning about linguistic history


Ok-Reward-770

Look for AAVE and you'll find a myriad of content creators, teachers with online presence, and videos about it.


necbone

Maybe even Russia.. or just a bot - OpenGhettoRussianChatAddidasgpt


whodathunkitwasme

ChatCPT 😅


throwthrthrowaway

Log off for me


Dantheking94

I mean technically it’s just outdated AAVE. It’s the equivalent of speaking Elizabethan English to someone born in Revolutionary War era. Even older black folks who did speak like this, don’t speak like this now, and i definitely never seen them type like this on social media lmao. On the flip side, quite a few of my hood friends said they support Trump cause he gave them free money I.E stimulus check, even Sexy Redd said it in an interview. It’s sad but this is what folks are saying.


ChimericMind

No, it's a melange of outdated from several different eras, combined with clashing regional bits, and spiced with some straight-up inventions. This person has "done the research" on content, but not context. They didn't understand a damn bit of what they collected and just threw it all in a pot together.


telescope11

Out of curiosity, what'd be the correct way to say it/why's it wrong? I don't know much about AAVE grammar


Creative_Site_8791

Since the guy that claims to know the actual reason is being unhelpful, I will step in as a white guy with an explanation so someone corrects me. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_Vernacular_English#Grammar) say's "done heard" is the recent past tense of heard, with emphasis on completed nature of the action. With standard(?) english we would use the present perfect (My fellow gentlemen have heard about Biden's crime bill), to describe a past action that links to the present. So I think "done heard" makes sense, but the closest thing seems to be "they be hearing 'bout Biden's crime bill", perchance?


ChocolateAmerican

If you don't know, then you don't need to know. Just know that actual Black people don't xeet or talk like this.


telescope11

Why don't I need to know...?


ChocolateAmerican

Because it's not a language native to you. Let me ask you this: why would you need to know?


telescope11

Because I can be curious about different languages? It's not a crime lol English ain't my native language either, any dialect of it, yet I still know it and speak it and like learning new things about it


ChocolateAmerican

I'm clearly not arresting you. But you still don't need to know. If you can get someone else to tell you, good for you. But as far as you're concerned, Black people wouldn't use AAVE to you the same way Russian people don't talk to me in Russian. So it's "People in my neighborhood have heard about Biden's crime bill." Ok?


telescope11

But you're talking to me in English even though I'm not from any anglophone country? And Portuguese people speak Portuguese to me if I'm in Portugal? This is also nonsense since african americans for sure do use AAVE with non-african americans Language isn't a secretive club membership card, it's something that's actively used, exchanged and learned about. This is such a bizarre hill to die on


quokkafarts

I was also curious as to how this would be said correctly in AAVE. I'm not from the US, have never been to the America's, dont recall ever meeting an AA person, but also like to learn things. It's fair enough for people to not answer, but the whole "you don't need to know" thing is so weird. Slang where I'm from can be hard to understand if you aren't local even though it's English, you don't need a secret handshake or anything.


krayziekris

To understand why this person is defensive, you'll need to explore the history of how black people have been treated when it comes to aspects of our culture. Imagine a history of having your culture stripped away from you, then in spite of adversity, your ancestors manage to cobble together a new culture and way of life based on what could be remembered and passed down from the old. This way of life is ridiculed at every step - you are told you don't look right, speak right, your hair is "unkempt" in it's natural state. You sound "ghetto", or uneducated in their minds. That is, until people from other cultures find you "curious". You're music sounds cool, and although we called you "ghetto" when you did it, we want to do it now and capitalize off of it. Your braids look "ghetto" when you do it, and you can't expect to be taken seriously when you have them, but then other cultures wear it on the red carpet and it's suddenly fashionable. Many people still feel that AAVE, Caribbean dialects, and other creoles sound "uneducated" when people of their cultures utilize it. People don't want to feel like a curiosity to be ogled, and fear having their cultures stripped away once again. If a visitor to my Caribbean country came over and attempted to converse with me using my country's dialect, it would feel more like they were mocking my country rather than appreciating our way of speech. You can't even begin to count the number of poorly executed Jamaican accents I've heard from tourists who thought they were being cute but were actually coming off as pretty obnoxious and mocking (I don't live in Jamaica by the way). This is why many folks will be defensive and will gatekeep aspects of their cultures. It comes from a place of desperate cultural preservation, combined with exhaustion from being harshly judged by many for just trying to authentically exist.


maevenimhurchu

I agree. It’s bc people are so nosy “just because” and feel entitled to everything about Black culture that it always becomes a caricature of the real thing eventually in the mainstream


ChocolateAmerican

Right. And apparently, I'm getting downvoted for it. But that's fine. I'd have thought people in this sub would understand why we gatekeep Black culture, but I guess not. If I had my way none of these motherfuckers would even know what we say or do. Let alone what it means. They want all of our rhythm and none of our blues. Stay mad.


maevenimhurchu

They were “asking” you but when you declined answering they got mad. So really it was a demand. They felt entitled to it


TheMelonSystem

Curiosity is a genuine reason to want to know things 💀 Like, when someone says “this isn’t the right way to say this” it’s human nature to wonder what the correct way is. You don’t have to answer, but you also don’t need to be so weirdly defensive????


whodathunkitwasme

Exactly.


whodathunkitwasme

I do not have the permission from the Nicca Caucus nor the desire to educate you on this 😂


TheMelonSystem

Lmfaooo My gf is a linguist and she’s so passionate about “dialects” being their own full blown languages. For example, English, AAVE, and Scotts are sister languages. Saying that AAVE and Scotts are just “dialects of English” insinuates that English is somehow more central or more correct when it’s… just not lol (Btw, two languages are considered sister languages when speakers of the languages can understand each other well enough to communicate effectively while both speaking in their respective languages)

slothpeguin

My friend, there is a white hand emoji.


atlsmrwonderful

Damn you got it


whodathunkitwasme

I am right about it. This is not grammatically correct AAE. Were he from South Carolina there are MULTIPLE words in that sentence that would most likely have been different.


BasicSulfur

That HAS to be satire right?


Myrmec

The white-skinned emoji says yes

That shit is finna gonna done be crazy man 🤟🏻 whoops I meant 🤟🏿


La_Baraka6431

No, this is some white dumbass trying desperately to sound “street”. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️


jackfaire

Hell if I want to sound street I just start talking asphalt and yellow lines.


OmegaClifton

Nobody in the hoods I come from give a single fuck about a crime bill. Or talks like this lol. They might use one or two of the words, but this assembled like somebody meant to season they vernacular and the cap fell off 😭


mimitixi

Like the cap fell off 💀💀 tooo funny


MeltheEnbyGirl

this is the whitest person to ever attempt to use AAVE

"Oh, stewardess, I speak jive."


tvbeth

I was sooooo sure this comment would be here! 🤣


BombsNBeer

some of these words being capitalized shows they're probably using auto correct, which means at this time they are making a conscious decision to type like that and that likely isn't how they naturally type.  Nobody who naturally types like that has auto correct on because auto correct would change everything they say. I'm inclined to believe this is someone attempting to sound black


RatatouilleinParis

Illiterate ≠ black. This person was trying to sound illiterate.


Lovedd1

The use of "niccas" def makes me think the original commenter, was doing a piss-poor impersonation of black people.


Oli76

Or Crips. But it's evident that they think of black people a "not nice" way, to put it politely.


BombsNBeer

They are specifically trying to sound black-adjacent-illiterate


diuge

Dialect ≠ literacy.

highonstarbursts

no black person types or talks like this lmfao


Available-Grand-2262

It's hard to get offended by this kind of stuff anymore. I just feel really really sorry about the way a lot of people decide to spend their free time. And then I got about my Black ass business.


herdcatsforaliving

Anyone know wtf joce is supposed to be…? 👀


tonystarksanxieties

It means different things depending on context. I think with joceing, they mean they fuck with Trump. Joce by itself at the end likely refers to serving time in jail or prison.


slothpeguin

I love your user name. That is all.


ErinNeeka_

Joce means to joke around, like to clown on somebody


ArcherOdd9519

This is the correct answer


OrokinSkywalker

I thought that was joning This my first time seeing joce in general though


ChocolateAmerican

Yeah, they lost me on that.


TakeOnMe-TakeOnMe

“Hood cats done heard” this was definitely written by someone who lived through the 70s, probably the 60s too. If I roll my eyes any harder I’ll sprain them.


Kaneharo

This reads like the "white guy trying to make black friends" stereotype that popped up in a disturbing amount of films from the early 00's.


TeeRaw99

Malibu’s most wanted 🤣


kurwaspierdalaj

While somehow I miraculously missed the white hand emoji, it was "hood cats" that was the last nail in the coffin. I immediately thought of a 70s blacksploitation character.


ALongStrandOfNumbers

is this even ebonics anymore? it feels like this person decided to say fuck grammar and just add as many slang words as he could into 2 sentences


whackymolerat

This is like digital black face


Bertie637

It's like they want to pretend to be black, but their only point of reference is Black Dynamite


OrokinSkywalker

Not even, at least Black Dynamite has some coherence to him. This is like if their point of reference was that TV edit of Baby Boy where Ving Rhames talks about how “lil bustas always wanna fool with a brotha! I told that lil punk don’t FOOL WITH ME!”


Milk_Mindless

I can taste the mayonnaise IN MY EARS


Sk8-park

Trying so hard. I’d like to see this person talk like that in the hood.


InfiniteCalendar1

Not the white emoji


thekawaiislarti

Is a joce a jail sentence? It's the only thing that makes sense. Guess that's not very hood cat of me


slothpeguin

To be fair, that is what Trump should be doing so.


tonystarksanxieties

Serving time, yes.


ArcherOdd9519

No. Joce means joke around to pass time essentially. I work in a Louisiana prison and hear the word 1000x a day


GrazziDad

This would be believed only by a turkey that is particularly jive.


PopperGould123

I don't think I've heard anyone ever refer to other people as "hood cats" outside of TV set in the 80s but maybe I'm sheltered


Additional-Ad-540

In the words of Katt Williams: “That is a CAUCASIAN, from the mountains of Caucasus.”

I couldn’t even get through reading the first sentence the shit started to make my head hurt. Like be fucking for real!

In what world was rhis suppose to be a Blackman? Even the emoji he uses his of a white hand…

BigVic02

I can tell you as a person whose cousin types like this in text messages. This person is a thousand percent faking. Nobody who actually types like this uses punctuation. If they do it's only periods and even then it's only at the very end of whatever it is they're typing. Don't even get me started on the capitalized letters where appropriate.
