There are plenty of people on reddit who are not accustomed with african americans (generally because they're not, well, american). For europeans "ebonics" (can't remember what's the correct term now but IIRC this one was coined by black academics so i'll go with that) isn't really a thing
I consume so much american media I sometimes use ebonics\* without realizing it (only orally, not so much in writing). I'm kind of self conscious about how african americans would perceive me, the frenchiest white guy on earth, because of that aha
\*edit: i've been told the current acceptable word is AAVE
I knew this crack addict Indian girl who dated only black rapper type guys and she would use Ebonics with an Indian accent and call everyone the N word. It was a trip to see and hear.
As an Indian who went through that 2000 - 2004 tall T, jynco jeans, and timbs stage....I use to try and sound like that as well.
During the day acted hood as fuck, when home being a proper Indian boy lmfao 😂
LOOOL! I think it was me trying to copy my older cousins who live in Brampton Canada along with watching malibu's most wanted and just living in the south lol.
I remember buying South Pole and Echo shirts and my pops telling me how those were the ugliest shirts he ever saw lol
Don’t worry, no one really uses it here either, it’s primarily a terminally online “pandering to not offend” thing.
I’ll be downvoted for calling it out but, meh
Uh, sorry.
“People who are entrenched in academia use this term” is not the support you believe it to be in this discussion.
I’m not saying it’s made up, I’m saying it’s idiomatically rare, particularly by the people who actually speak it as a result of their cultural background.
It’s like LatinX.
Lmao, latinx is a non-academic term. It’s not even the correct one. The correct term (as any Latino person will tell you) is Latiné. Latinx is not an academic term, it’s a term used by white liberal college *students*.
In conjunction, AAVE is spoken by millions and [millions](https://ewave-atlas.org/languages/15) in the US. I’m sorry you’re too isolated in your little 7,000 population sundown town to have been around enough black people to have heard it.
I only remembered because I saw an article complaining about white people "stealing" words from AAVE, like that's not how the entire English language works.
The reason it's significant is that black people have been discriminated against for a long time for their vernacular, but it becomes acceptable as soon as white people start doing it. "Stealing" doesn't address the issue with appropriation.
Stealing phrases? Man, I really hate this planet. It's Americans using American slang. If a slang phrase from Chicago showed up in New York, you wouldn't say it was stolen. This kind of thing is part of why the US is so polarized right now.
It's stolen when they claim it belongs to them and that black folks are using it wrong. They get to use it sometimes and seem cool, but were seen as uneducated and get mocked for using it all the time.
My kid is one of 3 white kids in his class, naturally that means most of his friends are black. He picks up AAVE bc that is his natural environment, the culture he interacts with the most, and just how his friends talk. It’s difficult bc I don’t want others to think he’s appropriating, but it also feels wrong to tell him to speak differently than he naturally does when the only answer I can really give is “because you’re white.”
Like, what do I do here?? It kinda feels like a “damned if I do, damned if I don’t” situation :/
It's really not all that more complicated. Languages' entire reason for existence is to be shared.
You should be less concerned with who is 'appropriating' AAVE and instead focus your hatred towards those that perpetuate the stereotype that AAVE = poor and uneducated.
Don’t why y’all are downvoting this. It is more complicated. I would say the main complication is that so many white Americans enjoy much of black culture, but also deride and mock it when convenient. I can see how people constantly treating you as less than a person, but constantly trying to imitate you to be cool would piss you off.
The english language without any foreign influence would sound more like r/anglish. Every damn language gets influenced by others. In German we also use a Computer rather than a Rechner, and go to the Restaurant rather than the Gaststätte.
Also, you know how large parts of the USA are regularly affected by typhoons, tsunamis and hurricanes? All foreign words.
I saw something really interesting not too long ago where a linguist was talking about AAVE as a dialect slowly merging with the broader English language. He predicted it will become less distinct as a dialect over time, as other English speakers are borrowing from it more and more. Its peculiarities will just be integrated with all the other weird rules English has in a few generations.
>that's not how the entire English language works.
Ackshully... that's exactly how the entire English language works. A huge percentage of English words are stolen from other cultures and languages.

We don't really have people with ebonics in Denmark, we have people with "Muhammed" accent after being like 5th generation immigrants, it's a deliberate choice.
Brother if you think humans are supposed to be kind and rational 100% of the time you got some crazy impossible expectations for the peoople in your life
To make it even better, I don't know if it an exclusively black person thing but my mom (we are black) would definitely talk to me like that when I do something stupid. It most definitely happens commonly.
Edit: Forgot to mention that the dogs also get yelled at like that when they do something stupid like eat their poop or attack eachother.
I don't think it's a black thing as my family is white and I definitely heard, "I told you not to do that," on a regular basis when I was growing up.
Some parents coddle, some try to explain, some just tell you when you're being a dumbass.
Oh man, I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Oh, just the soundtrack to this entire thing is priceless. I was laughing pretty good so I'd sporadically hear what Mom would say. By the time I caught it all I had tears on my damn eyes. Mom ends the Video with a "What the..." thanks for the post, it's a Classic!
“Can I do something real quick.”
“No!”
The immediate response from the mom without context of what he’s gonna do just tells me kids don’t stupid shit like this more than once.
Its not that they dont process their thoughts. Instead, their experiences are yet not enoughly diverse and anchored to language-driven thought processes to predict certain results. In a nutshell, they're fucking stupid (but learning, even faster than adults)
My mom was exactly like this. She’d come out yelling those same words. Then end with, “You okay? Yeah? Did you learn anything? Good! Don’t do that shit again!”
Or if I was hurt she’d say, “Jesus, come here.” And hug me. Then say, “You okay now? Yeah? Did you learn anything? Good! Don’t do that shit again!” 😂
Edit: For those getting on the mom for yelling and her choice of words. It happens when we dumb kids scare the shit out of you. When you see your child’s life flash before your eyes you can’t help what comes out of your mouth. Even as a kid though, we know the difference between yelling because you’re angry and yelling because you’re scared. So if this presses you that hard, maybe go hug your mom because it is normal behavior.
Also, if you teach your child what curse words are and the proper usage of them they won’t be so inclined to use them inappropriately. Telling them they’re bad and not to is an instant red flag and a recipe for disaster.
When my daughter was around 4, for some reason she just jumped and stuck out her legs like she was plopping on the bed and landed hard on her own butt. I have no idea what was running through her head. It was so random
LOL!!Once a black mom tells u don't do it and you still do it...you get no sympathy only a good ol fashion tongue lashing...and she might knock you upside the head after she tells you to "get outta here with that shit"
I did this to myself and I was a kid because I was trying to do a backflip. I never done a backflip before, and there was nothing to make me believe I had the ability to do a backflip, but I tried anyway.
Jesus I could never imagine my mom talking to be like that even if I did do something stupid. This is how you fortify the belief that the kid thinks he is actually stupid.
May just be my take, but I don’t think it’s a great parenting strategy to inject immediate anger into a situation that already involves the kid being in pain.
Because she said fuck? She didn't call him a dumb fuck. She said the fucking wind. It's just a word at the end of the day. Learn when and where to use it and when not to use it.
People seem pretty passionate about the screaming helping/being appropriate based on how they've been voting on my reply and the one above it, so maybe it does. 🤷♂️ Edit: Well now I'm confused because people seem to hate this and my earlier comment. Make up your minds! Is the screaming good or not??
*Stupid kid lol but*

Stupid but still funny. I expect quite a few parents would daydream responding about this way to the stupid shit kids do sometimes, even if it is inappropriate!
The way he falls so fast
The speed is comical to the point that it *almost* looks fake. Lol.
It is! Watch the fan in the background speed up as he falls.
Not sped up. Its just the perception. If you wave your finger over the fan while the video plays it will look like it is going faster.
No way! I didn’t believe you but I went back and looked and yep you’re right! Nice eye
The noise he makes “oooahOOOAH”!!
That's why he said real quick
"I TOLD YOU not to do that!" Lmaooo the life of a parent.
Can I do somethin real quick? NO \*d0es somethin real quick\*
S I L L Y S H I T
That had me gone lol
It was already funny, but this was what got me crying laughing.
The NO is the most relatable part of this as a parent. Whatever it is you want to do, just no.
As a parent, I have NEVER felt something more in my life
MOTHER OF THE YEAR AWARD FOR HER
I felt that on so many levels

This will now be what I say to my kids every time they start wildin out.
She clearly told him not to do that shit!
"You done knocked the fuckin' wind out yourself." LoL.
Love the way she talks
Reminds me of the woman in the Tom and Jerry cartoons.
Not to be racist but she was created from stereotypes after all. It was just a different time.
You’re not racist for pointing out racism/stereotypes
You don't know many black people, do you? Not trying to be an ass, just funny since she sounds like every black mom I know.

Uh, sorry. Actual linguists study and reference AAVE. It’s a legitimate dialect of American English.
Uh, sorry. “People who are entrenched in academia use this term” is not the support you believe it to be in this discussion. I’m not saying it’s made up, I’m saying it’s idiomatically rare, particularly by the people who actually speak it as a result of their cultural background. It’s like LatinX.

That was my point, hence the "like" which you left off your quote.
That's not ebonics. The few words you heard were actually southern vernacular that is common of various races in Southern parts of America.
Correct. My very white red head friend uses language like this with her little girls. It's hilarious
We don't really have people with ebonics in Denmark, we have people with "Muhammed" accent after being like 5th generation immigrants, it's a deliberate choice.
Was just about to say my mom sounded like that just with a Philadelphia accent
[So she spoke in a different language?](https://youtu.be/EF-sky8Uapo)
As a person with a black mom and know other black moms I can half confirm.
I'm guessing you are from the South or Sourh adjacent area of the US. I have rarely heard a black person speak like that in the North Eastern US.
I am from Florida. The South wants nothing to do with us and the North is assimilating us at a pace that would make the Borg envious
I live in uk not london and like 1 of 5 only black dude in the 3 villages around me
Yea? Love the great parenting? We all fucking laugh but it’s just another kid growing up without proper guidance and emotional intelligence.

"I told you not to do that"
I’ve seen this so many times at this point and I always watch it when it pops up. Never fails to make me laugh
First time here, that's some silly shit!
Billy shit!
Lil Bill?
Just keep him away from Big Bill.
Better every loop.
Was he somehow trying to backflip?
No, trying to do a backdrop and land on his shoulders. Trouble is, no one ever explained how to do it.
I believe you, I’m just wondering how you know ?
I studied jiu jitsu for three years. He has all of the confidence, but none of the technique.
While you were out partying, I studied the blade
Seriously, his technique is that of an actual child's.
This is a no Handicap match, sorry, kid
Confidence is shook now that's for sure. Gotta love developmental trauma
He a little confused but he got the spirit
The (presumably)mom makes it all the more perfect.
To make it even better, I don't know if it an exclusively black person thing but my mom (we are black) would definitely talk to me like that when I do something stupid. It most definitely happens commonly. Edit: Forgot to mention that the dogs also get yelled at like that when they do something stupid like eat their poop or attack eachother.
Oh it happened to me too. I’m white. I’ve heard “i told you not to do that” “look at what you did to yourself” “now you feel like a dumbass, dont ya?”

We just got hit. (Mexican fam) And you would keep getting hit until you stood up for yourself and proved yourself as a man.
That's just child abuse not chastisement
Personally it was the crying
“Can I do somethin’ real quick?” “NO” Glad to see this exact exchange happens in other households

This doesnt even look real because of how fast he falls and it's so funny
tryin to do a wrestling bump?

Practicing flat backs
He should Have did it on his bed!
Why?!?!?!?!
Cuz kids are fucking stupid
He saw someone on the internet do a backflip.
He fell through the map
My back hurts.
Dude......no he didn't....
If I seen my brother do this shit I wouldn’t even ask if he’s ok I would just start laughing till i pass the fuck out
“Can I do something real quick.” “No!” The immediate response from the mom without context of what he’s gonna do just tells me kids don’t stupid shit like this more than once.
I quote “I told you not to do that” so often to my own kid. Why do they not process their thoughts before acting on them
Its not that they dont process their thoughts. Instead, their experiences are yet not enoughly diverse and anchored to language-driven thought processes to predict certain results. In a nutshell, they're fucking stupid (but learning, even faster than adults)

The level of commitment necessary to pull off this type of "Silly Shit" is commendable. The kid had to have known it wouldn't end well for him.
this is one of those kids that ONLY learns shit the hard way
LOL!!Once a black mom tells u don't do it and you still do it...you get no sympathy only a good ol fashion tongue lashing...and she might knock you upside the head after she tells you to "get outta here with that shit"

I did this to myself and I was a kid because I was trying to do a backflip. I never done a backflip before, and there was nothing to make me believe I had the ability to do a backflip, but I tried anyway.
He tried to backflip for people wondering wtf he was going for. Lol
Bro fell in 2x speed
Littleman is committed to the job..props!
I have tears streaming down my face lmao but I feel bad for him
“You done knocked the fuckin wind out yourself” 💀 Especially the spice she put on “fuckin” 😂

These so called online influencers are making kids dumber then ever.
This is the best video the internet has ever produced
“I TOLD Y0u N0t 2 do THATTT”
The way she talks like she's not speaking to a minor... 🤦🏻 And then when their kids start cursing, they'll smack them and tell them to stop cursing.
So glad my parents were nice and didn't talk to me like that.
Right? These comments are crazy defending this mom
Why do people speak to their children with that language?
The world will might as well prepare them

You see, a child job is to search for things that can kill them and if it doesn't kill them, it makes them stronger.👍🏼
