[ -- REUPLOAD -- ] We had some issues with todays film so I decided to reupload one of my favorite episodes of my old format "PRZEŻYJ TO" on the Mediakraft.TV channel. Around half of Kult America subscribers are from outside of Poland so this gives them a chance to also see this video. Anyone who'd like to see the rest of this series here is a link ruclips.net/p/PLKnlTz56Swy-NspMV6y1Y3kh-0MVek3xr. Next week we will be back on track with an all new episode titled "How to Make perogi" :) ! STAY TUNED!
Please realize that to the average white American community its disrespectful to come in and just start speaking Ebonics. There's a reason they teach formal English in school and not this fucking made up shit
Why wouldn't anyone want to learn an improper form of something. Let alone TEACH an improper form of something. Is this supposed to be some sort of hand out from the whites? Not sure.
Ellie Pena it’s a joke I grew as a polish speaker learning English so I have exposure to African American vernacular English it’s something that you just understand as you grow up with
Joking.... Which part? Teaching it as a class, joke.... The content, largely correct.... the conversation portion - the white guys were pretty bad at speaking ebonics. Ebonics (aka aave) has specific grammatical rules that differ from English, along with specific words, and specific pronunciations that differ to english. The grammatical rules have similarities to various African languages, as do several of the pronunciations. Other pronunciations have more in common with french - which as large portions of Africa were french colonies at one point, kinda makes sense.
@@michaelscott6216 I guess you don't like ghetto culture, but white people who grew up in ghettos are the same. It's not about race, but the environment. Maybe if we grew up in their environment we would understand. We just have an outsider's perspective.
@@toporperuna5248 its not dumbing it down you dumb shit. Its putting it into a code that black people could use. Not that they couldn't underatand English.
Jordan H it's not that, it's just that white people are made fun of because of the way WE talk. we want to learn how to talk like this because of the disrespect we get for talking white
As cringy as this is, I’ve been in this situation before where I gotta teach dudes how to talk a certain way or even dance a certain way.... it gets just as cringy as this video.
@@godwynthegael9912 who said anything about appropriation. That not even appropriation. If you wanna get on that level there are multiple things that get appropriated everyday tf. Brother =bro=bruh. Hey=aye =ay. Words that use in the english language all the damn time. Those same words can means something in multiple languages from different cultures.

No, Ebonics is NOT just how you feel and keeping it real. It is an actual variety of English which follows strictly its own rules of grammar and pronunciation.
This is what kinda bugs me with this. Ebonics is literally just an accent base type you also have sub accents. like someone who has developed an Ebonics accent who grew up in Texas sounds different than someone who has an Ebonics accent developed from CA’s Bay Area. I may be in the minority here (no pun intended) but as a Hispanic American who grew up in the hood with friends of all races speaking “Ebonics” (this also goes into something more controversial that’s an opinion of mine but I won’t get into that) i began to feel that this accent type is a lot more than just “black people talk” and over the years I’ve developed a weird code switching type accent. As I’ve gained more friends who don’t have that type of accent and more of a “white person” American accent (another phrase that also makes me cringe) I naturally began to talk like that without even really thinking or realizing it. And visa Versa with friends I also have that have an Ebonics accent or mix of both. It was then that it started to kinda bug me whenever I would hear friends start to say stuff like “oh I’ve noticed you talk like a black/white person sometimes..” or I get shit for talking Ebonics because they think im trying to do some racist portrayal of how they talk an am trying to fit in. Point being, as you’ve stated I think it’s more of an actual variety of English that is naturally developed by your environment no matter what your race is. and I feel that it being attached so hard to race only is what’s a major issue here. you hear people say racist shit like “oh Ebonics is just ghetto black peoples talk, learn to talk proper” and by “proper” they mean “learn to talk like a white person or else...” like “legal talk” is always considered to be the talk of “educated white people” instead of just another way of using and expressing the English language. Sorry if you don’t agree with me that is just my opinion on the matter and I feel that we would be better off just treating everything as a different accent rather than sticking so hard to the racial component. And just to be clear I completely understand the history around the creation of the term Ebonics and respect that, so maybe another term for it other than “ghetto talk” or offensive things like that? Maybe there is another way to describe it and I just never heard it? Either way, my point still stands.
Nope, ebonics takes it's structure from African/Kemetic languages. Like Latin being the root stem for a ton of languages? In America, it will be one way, across the Caribbean islands it'll be another and on and on. This knowledge has never been given its proper attention because of the deliberate attempt to wash over this knowledge of culture during slavery. Blu is trying to giving a little lesson to open up a superficial understanding. That's fine, we just need to understand this lacks complexity... he's young, he may not know but also...a RUclips video isn't a university lecture!
I do that "code switching" thing too because people would tease me about my accent since I went to pretty white schools. So most of the time I speak a mix of ebonics and standard English, but I lean really heavy on the standard nowadays. Only thing I can't change is how I pronounce "ask" as "axe" and a few grammatical differences. I speak a little more ebonics with family, but I've gotten so used to speaking that standard mix it's kinda stuck like that.
This is so stupid. Ebonics is just slang talk. Well an attempt to turn it into an educational subject. Il save you time. Watch some 90s ice cube movies stand in the mirror for an hour. Job done
eric8542005 I hope you realize how extremely ignorant your comment is. Ebonics has a set of consistent grammatical rules and is considered a dialect of English on its own. It’s just like any other dialect of English. Please keep your racist comments to yourself. It is NOT illiteracy. People study the consistent grammar of Ebonics in linguistics classes.
One thing alot of people don't know is that Ebonics is just a variant of southern English. One thing about me being African-American is this. I had to learn Ebonics (and I don't use it). I grew up using formal English.
TheGeoScholar It's true. I'm from Cincinnati, which is A. Right above Kentucky and B. Has a good amount of black folks. There's many white people who have a country/ebonic blend when they speak. And alot of the old country people sound similar to ebonics when they speak as well. Either way, black or white, when it comes to a job interview ect, it's always best to speak as "proper" as possible.
I can attest to this. I was born and raised in Louisville, KY. I lived in the West end which is where a lot of black people live, so I grew up around Ebonics. I can understand and even speak in Ebonics, but I usually don't speak in Ebonics.
I heard and learned so much from the Ebonics dialect of English over the years. Between playing football, classroom, and being military over the years I’ve met so many unique people and their cultures. To include Ebonics, I love human language and Ebonics is very intriguing to me.
Some of Ebonics is heavily influenced from the southern dialect. Expressions like ya'll come from the rural south and we're brought with those that left the south during the Great Migration. Other expressions (but not all) include - fixin' to or finna - I be - I is - we be etc. Even the cadence and to some extent and the accent of some black people is still influenced by time ancestors spent in the rural south.
Yeah u right man. Mostly cuz most african americans originated from the south. thats where the dialect started before many of them moved north and east.
And the African immigrants who were stripped of their culture adopted the language of the people closest to them…Western Englanders. This is originally a white persons language and has no ties to Africa.
Not all slaves were in the south tho. Plus they have their African heritage, it's a mix of a lot of cultures, just like most of humanity/cultures nowdays. Transportation in the last 200 years has changed a lot, so has the world. Most cultures nowadays have some influence from another, and it's not a bad thing.
You can almost FEEL those guys thinking: "oooh, such an articulate and well behaved black man, and such interesting facts, who would have known?", like it's somehow surprising. This is funny to watch ;)
Ian Smith it’s not broken English lol. It’s a dialect. It’s funny how white people always treat black people as if they’re ignorant because of the way they speak but will be ignorant about it being a dialect. And will deny it bc they want to continue treating black people that way
Ian Smith not meh. Because it’s true. Everyone has a different dialect but when it comes to AAVE or anyway black people talk it’s broken? You guys need to make everything black people do or say specifically seem inferior is pathetic
@@Keeyasiah not inferior just simply broken.....does it use english letters? Then clearly if its not actual english but uses them its broken......not difficult stuff 🤦♂️I'm Scottish who uses nothing but slang and again it's broken English with the odd Gaelic words tossed In there. People are allowed to make these observations about things without being called racist or worse from people like you who probably is neither white nor black.........go earn you're fecking virtue!
I understood everything he was saying, but I don't talk or act that way. Speaking Ebonics is just like speaking another language without it being official!
It is another language. Accents varies how language sounds, ebonics has a different root structure to English. There's just a lot of ignorance about it...
@@leoneranger9348 ebonics is for talking with close friends or other people in casual situations. Of course you are speak and act professional, in a professional setting.
@@cm17_5 No... 1.) Ebonics was coined to separate itself from the idea that our language is rooted in English. It is strictly a term that focuses on the African origin of our language. 2.) AAL is an African dialect/language, not an English dialect. That's what makes it different. The issue is you have too many European linguists and sellouts who propagate this nonsense that it's English when it isn't. Africans came with their own language systems and culture. It didn't just disappear. The grammatical structure is Niger-Congo not English. It simply uses majority non-African words on TOP of an African base. So the vocabulary gets treated according to its AFRICAN structure and inherent cultural features that color the language. That's why it has the FLAIR it does.
I do say, old chaps. Jolly good show! Bloody spiffing! That Blue bloke was a good sport. After taking many notes, I do say I believe I am ready to trot on over to the "hood" part of my city, the northeast to see if I can make acquaintance with some good lads and blend right in! Going to wear my finest tweed hat. Wish me luck! 😄
The video is somewhat cringey but as someone with a great interest in linguistics, I unironically want to learn the AAVE dialect; it has a certain charm to it (though there's a negative stigma to it from what I see, sadly)
This is actually very beginner level ebonics honestly. Ebonics changes with where you’re from you wanna focus more on lingo than the actual way its spoken learn the lingo you basically know ebonics at the same time
@@awesomebob1241 ummm no. The words are the same across America. There are only a few words here and there that change. I have spoken ebonics with Black Americans in various states and only a few words were changed. Ebonics is a language with a base line and then variations of that base line the same as English, Spanish, Korean, etc.
@@onigiri2136 lol if they dont say them around you then you’re not gang fr its that simple several words in my own city that people only say now cuz we said it first you’re looking from the outside-in and sound ignorant trying to tell someone who’s families literally live in 3 of some of the most black cities in the entire country and spent a lot of time in both places 😂
I am from Scotland, Grew up speaking Scots in the house and when I went to school all the teachers would say "speak proper English", at that time I was hurt and thought there was something wrong with me but as I got older I was happy that now know both Scots and Standard English. Standard English helps me talk to foreigners and helps at work but Scots is cultural. You can have the best of both worlds. Scots is hard to understand and sounds like a different language to people outside of scotland for example: Gin ah wis spikkin' Scots ilka-day tae fowk furth ae Scotland they widnae un'nerstaun mai. (If I was to speak Scots each day to people outside of scotland they wouldn't understand me).
What about the N word pass? There is no real Ebonics without that word. Polish people are the only people in the world who received the NiggaPassport from the black nationalists, it took place in 1804 in Haiti. Fun FACT.
Talk like you from Cornwall in the U.k but with an American accent. "I b" "you be" "we be" say "finna" instead of "I am about to" it's from "fitting to" another west England treasure. Cultural Appropriation is hilarious to watch Americans talk about if you know some facts.
Ah, now I get it!, I am NOT an US Citizen, and my main language is NOT English, but Spanish, I spent 6 months living there at Brooklyn, NY and Chicago, IL, and I noticed that Black ppl always had this weird accent that was hard for me to understand, some had it "smoothed out" and some had a thick accent, and I always wonder, Why do they speak like that!?, I barely understood 2 words of what they said, even a lady had to turn her "White English" on so I could understand what she was saying, but given the American history of slavery and the way they were treated in the past it is now clear for me. I had this doubt for a long while so i finally got an answer!! I mean no disrespect, but as a foreigner it is hard to understand it at first, specially when your primary language is not english.
This guy is young, but I remember clearly when white people didn't even say what's up. It was foreign to them. If they understood you to be speaking, the reply was always how are you, and never what's up back. Just like the bro man hand shake (dapping).
@@thammyensor2885 every language that exist in the world today a derivative of another, a sort of Ebonics. For example, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese evolved from Latin. Ppl moved came in contact with others and being separated, the language changed
Because black people in america are not respected people dont realize dialect has zero to do with actual intelligence. I'm sure British people who speak proper English make fun of white american accents. He's right communication is mostly non verbal bony language. Ebonics should not he any different than any other dialect. The problem is this is condescending. Of course in certain situations you have to speak differently than you would with your friends at home. When you talk to your friends you speak differently than when you talk to your boss right. Let's look at kids all over the world even if i don't know the exact world your saying I can understand by your body language with you mean. We gotta stop letting people be condescending with us.
Down South Louisiana ordering a Roast Beef Po-Boy dressed you may hear the waitress call to the cook: Grab a slice of Po, run it through the beef side and drag it through the garden. - Far out man.
Maybe if we collectively treat AAVE as a separate language some things will change, if it can be taught more to be more broadly applicable. There would be people interested in learning real black culture!! Fucking love this!!
Ebonics ma obszerna historię. Jest to oficjalny dialekt. (“Rozwiązanie Ebonics w Oakland” roku 1996 nawet uznało prawowitość Ebonics jako języka afrykańskiego.) Jestem młodą amerykanką, urodzona i wychowana w DMV (Waszyngton, Maryland i Virginia) (prawie wszyscy oprócz rządu są czarni). Mam obywatelstwa amerykańskie i polskie. Moi rodzice są polakami. Mówię płynnie po polsku. Uczęszczałam w 13 lat polskiej szkoły prowadzonej przez ambasadę. Mówię po angielsku, polsku, francusku, hiszpańsku I PRZEDE WSZYSTKIM PO EBONICS. Moim pierwszym językiem był Ebonics. W tym dialekcie naturalnie myślę i mówię. Wszystkie piosenki, które słucham są również po Ebonics. Tak wszyscy mówią wokół mnie (naturalna/codzienna/zwykła mowa). Jest to dialekt bardzo bogaty w historii i nie powinien być zlekceważony.
I did cringe, but I also feel like this would be less cringey if we Americans more comfortable talking about POC and how they're often culturally different. If this were an interview with someone from India about Indian English, it would feel less uncomfortable. Plus, they did choose some very stereotyped situations in the skits. "I thought you was the police." I often use "big" words, and I do think it's helpful to know why a lot of people find that offensive. I'm trying to commit to talking normal (a phrase I naturally want to word as "speaking more colloquially")
"Gangster slang"? You mean the Italian mobster slang, or the Mexican cholo slang? Be precise in the topic. AAVE is not only used by gangsters, unless you consider all black Americans to be OGs.
What I gather that origins of Ebonics/AAVE (African-American Vernacular English) is the different variants of American Southern English, especially from the rural areas spoken by African-Americans. Historical context that prior to the Great Migartion (1910-1930 and 1940-1970), were an estimated 6.6 million African-Americans moved from the Southern states including Oklahoma and Texas to the urban areas of the Mid-West, Northeast and Western states so they brought their dialects and speeches with them. Thus in turn influenced their descentants in how their develop the form of speaking in these urban enivronments. Well that is just my own observation.
There are many such languages, like Cockney (a Londoner born within the sound of Bow bell) rhyming slang, for example: Apples and Pears = Stairs and so on
Ebonics is very interesting for my students each time I teach them about it. Not all of them know the classic poets of England or USA, but actually everybody has heard something about 2Pac and Biggie :) . Thanks for the reupload!

I heard and learned so much from the Ebonics dialect of English over the years. Between playing football, classroom, and being military over the years I’ve met so many unique people and their cultures. To include Ebonics, I love human language and Ebonics is very intriguing to me.
Thanks for the Ted talk
Some of Ebonics is heavily influenced from the southern dialect. Expressions like ya'll come from the rural south and we're brought with those that left the south during the Great Migration. Other expressions (but not all) include - fixin' to or finna - I be - I is - we be etc. Even the cadence and to some extent and the accent of some black people is still influenced by time ancestors spent in the rural south.
And africa
Yeah u right man. Mostly cuz most african americans originated from the south. thats where the dialect started before many of them moved north and east.
@@dannyc.jewell8788 eh. a bit
And the African immigrants who were stripped of their culture adopted the language of the people closest to them…Western Englanders. This is originally a white persons language and has no ties to Africa.
Not all slaves were in the south tho. Plus they have their African heritage, it's a mix of a lot of cultures, just like most of humanity/cultures nowdays.
Transportation in the last 200 years has changed a lot, so has the world. Most cultures nowadays have some influence from another, and it's not a bad thing.
You can almost FEEL those guys thinking: "oooh, such an articulate and well behaved black man, and such interesting facts, who would have known?", like it's somehow surprising.
This is funny to watch ;)
Ian Smith it’s not broken English lol. It’s a dialect. It’s funny how white people always treat black people as if they’re ignorant because of the way they speak but will be ignorant about it being a dialect. And will deny it bc they want to continue treating black people that way
Ian Smith not meh. Because it’s true. Everyone has a different dialect but when it comes to AAVE or anyway black people talk it’s broken? You guys need to make everything black people do or say specifically seem inferior is pathetic
@@Keeyasiah not inferior just simply broken.....does it use english letters? Then clearly if its not actual english but uses them its broken......not difficult stuff 🤦♂️I'm Scottish who uses nothing but slang and again it's broken English with the odd Gaelic words tossed In there. People are allowed to make these observations about things without being called racist or worse from people like you who probably is neither white nor black.........go earn you're fecking virtue!
Isn't it surprising
@@Keeyasiah but not all black people speak AAVE. It depends on where you have been raised in USA. I hear white and asian and pr speak this too

I understood everything he was saying, but I don't talk or act that way. Speaking Ebonics is just like speaking another language without it being official!
It is another language. Accents varies how language sounds, ebonics has a different root structure to English. There's just a lot of ignorance about it...
@@leoneranger9348 ebonics is for talking with close friends or other people in casual situations. Of course you are speak and act professional, in a professional setting.
@@gmaergabe7313 Ebonics is an official dialect of English.
Hi! I just wanted to ask IYO should it be considered a form english creole similar to haitian kreole?
@@cm17_5 No... 1.) Ebonics was coined to separate itself from the idea that our language is rooted in English. It is strictly a term that focuses on the African origin of our language. 2.) AAL is an African dialect/language, not an English dialect. That's what makes it different. The issue is you have too many European linguists and sellouts who propagate this nonsense that it's English when it isn't. Africans came with their own language systems and culture. It didn't just disappear. The grammatical structure is Niger-Congo not English. It simply uses majority non-African words on TOP of an African base. So the vocabulary gets treated according to its AFRICAN structure and inherent cultural features that color the language. That's why it has the FLAIR it does.
Genuinely thought this was gonna be a comedy sketch 😂😂😂
That’s what makes this such GOLD
I do say, old chaps. Jolly good show! Bloody spiffing! That Blue bloke was a good sport.

The video is somewhat cringey but as someone with a great interest in linguistics, I unironically want to learn the AAVE dialect; it has a certain charm to it (though there's a negative stigma to it from what I see, sadly)
This is actually very beginner level ebonics honestly. Ebonics changes with where you’re from you wanna focus more on lingo than the actual way its spoken learn the lingo you basically know ebonics at the same time
All of you are dumber than a box of rocks if you really think that "Ebonics" is a true language.
@@awesomebob1241 ummm no. The words are the same across America. There are only a few words here and there that change. I have spoken ebonics with Black Americans in various states and only a few words were changed. Ebonics is a language with a base line and then variations of that base line the same as English, Spanish, Korean, etc.

I am from Scotland, Grew up speaking Scots in the house and when I went to school all the teachers would say "speak proper English", at that time I was hurt and thought there was something wrong with me but as I got older I was happy that now know both Scots and Standard English. Standard English helps me talk to foreigners and helps at work but Scots is cultural. You can have the best of both worlds.
Scots is hard to understand and sounds like a different language to people outside of scotland for example:
Gin ah wis spikkin' Scots ilka-day tae fowk furth ae Scotland they widnae un'nerstaun mai. (If I was to speak Scots each day to people outside of scotland they wouldn't understand me).
@Johnathan Smith that explains it
Well black people appropriated Ebonics it's from White people in Cornwall . Same as the Dutch braid, It's in the name with that one.
super cringed
It is amazing how you can grow within a community that is so alien to your own

Thank you for this. As an actor who didn't grow up speaking this way but was surrounded by it, I'm now trying to learn for the screen. Thanks!
What about the N word pass? There is no real Ebonics without that word. Polish people are the only people in the world who received the NiggaPassport from the black nationalists, it took place in 1804 in Haiti. Fun FACT.
Talk like you from Cornwall in the U.k but with an American accent. "I b" "you be" "we be" say "finna" instead of "I am about to" it's from "fitting to" another west England treasure. Cultural Appropriation is hilarious to watch Americans talk about if you know some facts.
@@nzgamelife323 "finna" Wow that's actually Scottish
I learned to not smack my lips while I eat. Close your mouth ma dukes will knot ya cuz.
Ah, now I get it!, I am NOT an US Citizen, and my main language is NOT English, but Spanish, I spent 6 months living there at Brooklyn, NY and Chicago, IL, and I noticed that Black ppl always had this weird accent that was hard for me to understand, some had it "smoothed out" and some had a thick accent, and I always wonder, Why do they speak like that!?, I barely understood 2 words of what they said, even a lady had to turn her "White English" on so I could understand what she was saying, but given the American history of slavery and the way they were treated in the past it is now clear for me.
I had this doubt for a long while so i finally got an answer!!
I mean no disrespect, but as a foreigner it is hard to understand it at first, specially when your primary language is not english.
Oh my god I thought this was a skit I cant
I can't tell if this is a joke or not. If it is, well played!
If not - super cringey
'' what' s elaborate ? Are you trying to disrespect me for using big *** words?'' 😂😂😂😂
Is Ebonics just claiming you don’t know the meaning of bigger words?
If Malibu's Most Wanted was a college course
This guy is young, but I remember clearly when white people didn't even say what's up. It was foreign to them. If they understood you to be speaking, the reply was always how are you, and never what's up back. Just like the bro man hand shake (dapping).
mhmm, it makes sense, even proper English, like what is spoken at court, will evolve, and some of it may be adopted from Ebonics over time. :)
@@thammyensor2885 every language that exist in the world today a derivative of another, a sort of Ebonics. For example, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese evolved from Latin. Ppl moved came in contact with others and being separated, the language changed

Is talking ebonics and having attitude problems the same thing?

Because black people in america are not respected people dont realize dialect has zero to do with actual intelligence. I'm sure British people who speak proper English make fun of white american accents. He's right communication is mostly non verbal bony language. Ebonics should not he any different than any other dialect. The problem is this is condescending. Of course in certain situations you have to speak differently than you would with your friends at home. When you talk to your friends you speak differently than when you talk to your boss right. Let's look at kids all over the world even if i don't know the exact world your saying I can understand by your body language with you mean. We gotta stop letting people be condescending with us.
Off course most brits..whatever the colour make fun of American accents.

Maybe if we collectively treat AAVE as a separate language some things will change, if it can be taught more to be more broadly applicable. There would be people interested in learning real black culture!! Fucking love this!!

Ebonics ma obszerna historię. Jest to oficjalny dialekt. (“Rozwiązanie Ebonics w Oakland” roku 1996 nawet uznało prawowitość Ebonics jako języka afrykańskiego.) Jestem młodą amerykanką, urodzona i wychowana w DMV (Waszyngton, Maryland i Virginia) (prawie wszyscy oprócz rządu są czarni). Mam obywatelstwa amerykańskie i polskie. Moi rodzice są polakami. Mówię płynnie po polsku. Uczęszczałam w 13 lat polskiej szkoły prowadzonej przez ambasadę. Mówię po angielsku, polsku, francusku, hiszpańsku I PRZEDE WSZYSTKIM PO EBONICS. Moim pierwszym językiem był Ebonics. W tym dialekcie naturalnie myślę i mówię. Wszystkie piosenki, które słucham są również po Ebonics. Tak wszyscy mówią wokół mnie (naturalna/codzienna/zwykła mowa). Jest to dialekt bardzo bogaty w historii i nie powinien być zlekceważony.

“I thought you was the police”
Lmao 5:18
adam broo knocking on his door like that
I did cringe, but I also feel like this would be less cringey if we Americans more comfortable talking about POC and how they're often culturally different. If this were an interview with someone from India about Indian English, it would feel less uncomfortable. Plus, they did choose some very stereotyped situations in the skits. "I thought you was the police."
I often use "big" words, and I do think it's helpful to know why a lot of people find that offensive. I'm trying to commit to talking normal (a phrase I naturally want to word as "speaking more colloquially")
"Gangster slang"? You mean the Italian mobster slang, or the Mexican cholo slang? Be precise in the topic. AAVE is not only used by gangsters, unless you consider all black Americans to be OGs.
This is a joke, right‽ 😂
I find it hilarious that the first example he can think of using Ebonics is, if you were talking to a Judge. 😂😂😂
4:56 LOL
I love watching the teacher as these two try to talk like him…so bad, he was rolling on the floor. Dear lord…
Please tell me this is satire
What I gather that origins of Ebonics/AAVE (African-American Vernacular English) is the different variants of American Southern English, especially from the rural areas spoken by African-Americans. Historical context that prior to the Great Migartion (1910-1930 and 1940-1970), were an estimated 6.6 million African-Americans moved from the Southern states including Oklahoma and Texas to the urban areas of the Mid-West, Northeast and Western states so they brought their dialects and speeches with them. Thus in turn influenced their descentants in how their develop the form of speaking in these urban enivronments. Well that is just my own observation.
I'm dying!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

There are many such languages, like Cockney (a Londoner born within the sound of Bow bell) rhyming slang, for example: Apples and Pears = Stairs and so on
Ebonics is very interesting for my students each time I teach them about it. Not all of them know the classic poets of England or USA, but actually everybody has heard something about 2Pac and Biggie :) . Thanks for the reupload!
I like how the White guys really wanted to educate themselves and not trying to be funny or judge.
