saw a twitter post about how a non-binary person was bothered by people sayinâ âthey isâ instead of âthey areâ and itâs definitely a reason why i created this blog and the blacknbculture blog. no matter how pro-black or anti-racism a white nigga will be they will always find some way to criticize âghettoâ, âtrashyâ, or âlazyâ ways of speakinâ and beinâ.
i cannot speak my dialect around white without havinâ to assimilate unless i want people to mock me or just laugh at everything i say, even if iâm actually mad. other times, i just feel like i come off as rude to white people. in english i see examples of my native dialect be used as a âincorrect examplesâ of Real English. the reason i write in my dialect is so i donât lose it beinâ surrounded by so many white people who only tolerate me as long as i throw my culture away. usinâ âisâ instead of âareâ in African American English (AAE) is the most common feature in the dialect iâd argue itâs part of what make it so distinct, along with the accent as well. i will not be fooled by white people bothered by grammar, cause 99% itâs racism they probably donât even know of.
so, i will be sayinâ âthey isâ, actually. and iâll say it proudly.
This is black non-binary culture!
