You know, I'm very interested in this thread but I'm afraid to scroll down. I'm black and have a somewhat southern accent but I'm also "whitewashed" because I live in a pretty multicultural place that's white majority. Whenever I talk online people assume I'm white but when I get excited the "blackness" of my speech is "exposed" and I've legit had people ask if there's a black guy in my room next to me.

I want to ask if maybe the the harsh judgement on black language is less because it's actually bad and more because it's associated with "bad people"? I've always had a feeling ebonics is just a way of segregating a type of southern accent as being a pan-african accent of sorts but I don't know enough about language for that to be more than just a feeling.

Sometimes I think wonder if when learning foreign languages, we also fall into this trap of focusing on things that aren't too important. For example, the honor/politeness system in Japanese. People say it's important to know, and others say it's not. What to do? Learn it I guess.

Valid and invalid is all perspective. You can't define a metric.
Language usage in different thing will render different results
You can say there is fallacy in commenting on which result is better
But regardless, altering your language usage will render different outcomes of not only your character but your relationship with your environment

>I want to ask if maybe the the harsh judgement on black language is less because it's actually bad and more because it's associated with "bad people"?
It becomes challenging to distinguish the difference
Language biases the person and the character into behavior.
So to what degree and how expressed? I'm sure you notice difference between your own AAVE and those "bad people"s AAVE.

Different languages will render different results. It's all too complex ridden with far too many variables to say this language=bad person, but it becomes an easy I educator to avoid potentially going down that path.

Anyone's thoughts on the matter are going to be personal opinion, and unless you know them well, you'll never know the person validating or invalidating the usage.

If I had to take a stab I would say it can be playful and sometimes have more flow to it. Just the same as cockney I appreciate at least the creative effort to alter language in some fashion. I'm sure there's been "bet benefits" with slang and language evolution along the way.
I also think there's been an overall intentional effort to degrade English, and wielding AAVE in a degrading way has been a useful tool to accomplish this.

If it's fruitful addition that first proves it's fruits and merits without all this expected idealism without pragmatic result, then I imagine people would be more inclined to absorb it.
If it's liberal deconstructionist dickheads using fancy language to rationalise it with subtle undertones or outright jabs of "RACISM!!!!" then it's a total facade and abuse of shame so they can feel good about themselves.
It's on you guys yo represent why people would want to absorb more of your culture. I'm sick of liberals forcing it with no expectations. It's degrading for everyone involved.

oh cool im sure there will no no off-topic discussion in this thread!

for all you retards who need it spelled out: AAVE is a dialect like any others that exist in basically every single modern language. in my country, germany, there are about 10 different regions with different dialects, whose inhabitants can barely understand each other.
i have never seen any of these dialects, some of which do many of the things AAVE does, invoke the same autistic rage in you retards. i wonder why that is.

Descriptivism is the ultimate midwit position. Nobody is a platonic prescriptivist, that's a strawman position. Anyone with half a brain realizes that real prescriptivism means respecting that certain structures have become established in the firmament, and the more complex your structures are, the more you can play with the rules and do beautiful things by mastering them. Even if you don't know this, you should still know by instinct that a disgusting pleb annihilating entire tenses and moods from the language for the sake of his "convenience" and "authentic lived experience" is degenerative. It should give off the same stinky smell as an inbred monkeyman from the bayou.

>and no set of rules is superior or inferior to another set of rules.
Demonstrably untrue, both in quantitative and simple terms. There's a reason scientists have larger vocabularies than gangbangers, the fundamental range of ideas both able and necessary to be expressed is very different for the two. Furthermore there's outright studies that prove the language you speak affects your IQ and intelligence and that children who speak more than 1 language are smarter and more creative. If that's true one can only imagine what it suggests about those who speak half of a language.

Relativists really are demented. They act like the real world doesn't exist, as though tangible and objective things don't secure and ensure the lives of mediocrity they lead or even that billions of years of evolution and causal confluence don't precede and necessitate all of the aforementioned.

Anyone who blames their environment for everything without any personal responsibility is without manhood.

It's fair to make environmental demands but 100% of the cultural script right now is about how everything is societies fault or white people's fault.

To admit this is to renounce agency. Not only are they saying they've bee entirely guided by white people and environment, but that white people and environment must also give them more support.

Welfare state and handouts have been an absolute disaster for black agency, manhood, culture, family life.
Short term handouts from groups who pander so they are given political support.

It been shoved down my throat to Understand these issues from the main narrative POV, and I do.
But no one will entertain the frustrations of others whom have spent their entire lives trying to better themselves, culture, community, family.

It's clear he is simply stating the fact that linguistics is descriptive by nature and does not make value judgements on languages.
For Spanish being wrong Latin, a real linguist wouldn't be able to tell you that as it's an opinion unrelated to the field, he can only tell you what Spanish is and what Latin is and leave it to the better suited to decide. In fact, if he insisted on the validity of Spanish and claimed it is a good language purely because people speak it, like that anon was doing, he would be in the wrong and would be speaking out of turn. If he claimed it is invalid purely because Latin was the official language used even after the local dialect had become Old Spanish, he would also be speaking out of turn.
Who those better suited are, I can not say.

I have noticed this usually unspoken acknowledgement of various white ethnicities in the US but blacks always tend to lump together all whites. This is most visible with Jews and "white" Hispanics that most whites in the US see as separate but blacks just assume they're all the same. One of these groups is rednecks who are mostly Scotch-Irish in ethnicity and are genetically and culturally distinct from the rest of the United States. They perform lower on IQ tests and have higher crimes/dropout rates/etc., although significantly better than blacks ofc, and speak a dialect distinct from the middle class Southerners and upper class Southerners that are not disparaged for their dialect. The only reason whites are not tarred with this brush is because Scotch-Irish rednecks are a very small percentage of whites as a whole and are culturally distinct whereas most blacks are part of this "ghetto" culture that speaks AAVE and the ones that are wealthier try to assimilate into white society.

The funny part to me is that from my eNlIgHtEnEd centrist point of view I realize that the right plays into the hands of the left very easily.
Any working society will give the average shmuck without much ambition a dignified life.
Instead the discourse is the right saying that "if you aren't Patrick Bateman you have no place in society and deserve to starve," to which the left takes at face value and says "okay but we don't want to starve though."
I don't expect the right-wing to learn anything from this though, they will just continue losing majorly, only being allowed into power to pass material austerity.

That's the case with every race in the US though. Most blacks know the difference between Jamaicans, Haitians, Brazilians, Africans, and hispanic blacks but most whites think they're all the same. Most Latin people know the difference between Mexican, Panamanians, Argentinians, Cubans, etc but most whites still think they're the same. Same goes for Asians with Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Hmong, etc. Only people who regularly actually mingle with others or their cultures in those archetypes can really tell the difference. Same inversed, Blacks, Latinos, and Asians who don't frequently interact with whites just know they're "white".

Also it's not like most US whites could tell you that rednecks are mostly scotish-irish. They have a vague idea of various ethnicities but I doubt most of them born past the 80s could reasonably identify them.
