Day 10: What's poppin y'all it's black history month and today im honoring ebonics or African American Vernacular English(AAVE). Our language ain't respected enough compared to Spanish or French. We have to learn either Spanish or French but when we speak our language we get called ghetto. Man listen, Ebonics came from slavery, it was used to talk to others without massa hearing and coming at us. Our descendants spoke it to pass secret messages to each other. The problem with y'all is y'all ain't never respect black people to begin with and when White America condemns a people they condemn the language they speak. Ebonics or AAVE ain't treated as a language it's treated as slang and the people who speak it are considered uneducated however ebonics is not slang it is a language of all people descended from enslaved Black Africans, particularly in West Africa, the Caribbean, and North America. In 1973, the term ebonics was coined by a African American psychologist named Robert Williams in hopes to name the language that resulted from the slave trade and in 1975 the term ebonics came up in the book he co written called Ebonics: The True Language of Black Folks. So today im honoring ebonics or AAVE because it's not just slang or something in hip hop, or ghetto or an unsophisticated language or slang its an language with deep history rooted in slavery, rooted in the culture that Europeans tried to take but failed. Out language is not to be mocked by people who doesn't understand where it comes from
