Honestly, feels like half the internet just collectively caught up to what was obvious ages ago.

“coined” by Gen z is still inaccurate, but ok

“Cap” goes back a century
“Bruh” goes back to the late 1800s
“Spill the tea” was something Black grandmas have been saying for a long time
Even words that people have forgotten was AAVE like “cool” goes back to the 1930s
It’s not just non-Black Gen Z, their Boomer ancestors were doing it, too

I gotta say that Ghana vote about the Atlantic slave trade surprised and delighted me. Its almost entirely Western countries that didnt want in but even in that case only 3 nations voted no, most of the haters abstained. The vast majority of humans living on this Planet are on the same page now, that is incredible. Doesn’t mean everything will be fixed overnight but progress is small baby steps in a sequence and this counts as a step on a road that will be incredibly long. Progress is to be celebrated no matter how small.

Not disagreeing with this, but frankly – have people been sleeping this whole time?
Listen to any Rolling Stones, or Led Zeppelin song and all you will hear is white dudes singing like black people. Elvis’ whole discography is based on it ffs! And Paul McCartney with his “Oh Darling!”

They don’t believe anything unless it’s said by another white male. It’s tiring

Id argue they didnt change their tune either.
They still debating the ramifications of slavery.

Good thing we got the linguistics experts on the case to solve this for us!

Gen alpha knows what’s up. Nobody wants to claim skibidi and whatever else the little kids got cooked up these days.

i posted a comment under the video with ryan gosling utilizing “gen z slang” to communicate to another person as promotion for something on here. i corrected it that it was AAVE and got downvoted. white people will never beat the racist “allegations”.
