Bet; If it gets y'all global whites to take AAVE out your mouths and divest from the collective you's pale (hah) emulations of Black culture, I'm all for it, please, go elsewhere and figure out your own bag

Still trying to figure out how a comment about USA culture suddenly becomes a white vs black race issue... "culture" doesnt equal "race". Especially in the context of a discussion of an entire country.
