>To gain a deeper understanding of what "blaccent" is -- and why it isn't alright for non-Blacks to use it -- we talked to Nsenga K. Burton, co-director of the film and media management concentration at Emory University, who has studied depictions of race in Hollywood.
>"Cultural appropriation," she said, "is when you appropriate someone's culture for financial gain and influence without acknowledging the origins of that cultural practice or reinvesting your financial gains into the community from which the culture was taken."
>But whether or not someone gives credit or financial support to the Black community, it's "never acceptable to use a blaccent," Burton says.
>"Some people claim they can use it because they grew up around Black people and love Black culture. If that's the case, then support all of Black culture. Don't just borrow the most popular parts of it for your personal enjoyment and gain while ignoring the larger issues like anti-Black racism and state-endorsed violence that Black people face."
So can I tell niggers who use proper English that they're stealing white culture without acknowledging its origins and properly reinvesting their financial gains back into white communities?

Blacks think that speaking normal is “acting white”, it’s not even an American phenomenon. Africans here think the same way.

>blaccent ebonic is how inbred irish and white trash talk in the past, so they're basically speaking the whitest of the white accent
Christopher Howard
>Talking in an accent is now cultural appropriation Why do progressives want to segregate racial cultures so much?
Jack Perry
if your name is an ebonic misspelling of a brand name, I think you're allowed to use a negro accent
Jordan Gray
She dropped that name though. She's now Nora and she's in stupid capeshit movies that's why people are mad
Jonathan Adams

Jose Hughes
irrelevant if she grew up speaking that way. so-called ebonics is just a racial mythos anyway (created by whites) and is very similar to many other englishes.
Carter Thomas
Stop appropriating our culture please No matter how influential
>The word Ebonics was originally coined in 1973 by African American social psychologist Robert Williams[2] in a discussion with linguist Ernie Smith (as well as other language scholars and researchers) that took place in a conference on "Cognitive and Language Development of the Black Child", held in St. Louis, Missouri.[3][4 Seethe more.

>We need to define what we speak. We need to give a clear definition to our language...We know that ebony means black and that phonics refers to speech sounds or the science of sounds. Thus, we are really talking about the science of black speech sounds or language. Ebonics is scientific tawk. We talking about a system of scientific measurement, yt boy.
