Jus dren, jus daun!

‘The Thirteenth Year’ premiered 24 years ago today.

this is why we say paramore is for the black community

It would be artistically regressive for Beyonce but they will never admit it. The other members have truly never shown the kind of ambition and work ethic that makes trilogy albums, visual album movies and music that comments on race, gender, identity and history the way Beyonce does. She would be cheating herself by serving nostalgia while carrying people who aren't her creative equals on her back only for it to end up in comments about who's prettier and who has the best outfit.

Think of the funniest person in your family, it’s your uncle on your mama’s side huh?

Nah man, there’s only one GOAT pedophile and that’s MJ

Add this to yall hygiene routine twice a week. Especially yall smokers, veneers & tart breath folks. Gargle this followed by brushing, floss then mouthwash. Sick of seeing and smelling yall mouth. . . . and go to the dentist. . . Bad oral hygiene could literally kill you.

Like talk was dead ass talmbout yall mamas treated Celine Dion like she was somebody important in yalls house…. NOT my black ass east Texas mama I can tell u that

Actually Jamaicans are using AAVE within patois but it’s like more recent due to exposure online I think… it’s just a few words tho like capping

Jamaica isn’t the centre of Empire; other Black ethnic groups haven’t migrated there to set up communities. However consumption of American media no doubt has influenced Patois. You’ve latched onto ‘create’ because of the associated cultural capital. AAs still ‘own’ Ebonics.

if u can’t understand the reason why west african pidgins, caribbean creoles, jamaican patois, and AAE all use the habitual “be” independently and organically is bc we are AFRICANS then idt i can help u 😭😭

SGA on IG: “I’m not thinking about how I could've ate more, i'm thinking about how I could win eight more.”

Cause yall don’t be in the Carribbean enough to influence it lmfao just last month BA were bitching about every black person in NYC being West Indian. We in your streets you ain’t in ours 🤷🏽‍♀️

Not really lmao. We’re literally saying that Black people across borders have exchanged cultural ideas and linguistics over the centuries, we are making that exact argument.

For one, we wouldn’t. For two, if BAs said they helped create Jamaican patois, it would make sense considering the slave trade. For three, I love talking about how BAs influence Caribbeans and Africans. For four, hypothesizing around false equivalencies reveals your ignorance.
