THATS MY KIDNEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING

[Epicduke]

the point is that no one should just say "no you can't do this this is mine"
"no sorry this belongs to my race you can't say/do/whatever that"

I thought you were anticommunist nonbel..????????.?!..

[Nonnel]

forget u guys

[Kimon²]

i understand the point you guys are trying to make but saying "you cant say the word y'all it's only for black people" is going too far

i agree
yall isnt even a 'word' from african original slang and they adopted it from white masters and white folk from when they were put into slavery and had to speak english

[Alternat¡ve]

"Y'all" is just southern trash slang anyways, its not even from the blacks.

[Kimon²]

as for the other words, i dont necessarily think it's tribal to say them, for most of them i wouldnt go as far as to say "you can't say this" but some you just shouldn't say because it'll sound corny

[Nonnel]

and "forgetboy" just plain isn't black at all

[ultimamax]

im pretty sure forgetboy is a black thing

the first time i saw forgetboy was some skeleton thing on tumblr

i thought it was the funniest word ever so i started using it. that is how people outside the culture end up using it. it's not a malicious attempt to steal someone's culture or whatever, as if using a word is an attack on a culture.

[Kimon²]

the phrase "forget boy" was used occasionally in old rap songs but again ^

[hodot]

i guess people from other countries cant speak english then

cuLTURE THIEVES

not rly

english is a germanic language from the west branch (which also includes german)
notice "germanic" and not "german," its origins go back to the germanic peoples and not the germans (who are themselves germanic people ofc)

Yeah, and it's a mass over-simplification to say that Modern English is entirely germanic.

Old English (Anglo-Saxon) was a very germanic language.
Modern English is a combination of Germanic Anglo-Saxon, Medieval Latin and Norman French, as well as small pieces of language being taken from lots of other countries/cultures.
