Their own national anthem, their own independence day, soon to be their own flag, and now their own language.

“Is this kind of like Yiddish for the Jewish population worldwide?”
I think it may be more akin to pig latin. I would like to know what John McWhorter has to say about this.

Well, most of them are already slaves to the Democrat party, so its only fitting they recover their old language to be even better slaves to their masters.

From what I have seen of it, I think it is a site for divorced, 40+ women to seek attention validation.

Ok, so who remembered the forgotten language? Maybe it was rediscovered in an ancient Kawanzaa burial site.

Just a reminder. Most Americans did not read before 1860. Virtually no slaves even knew English when they came here. They certainly did not see written English in Africa or where most of them came from in South America or the Caribbean. Maybe there were a few phonetic words here or there. But a black language of phonetic English words. No way.

Absolutely.
Celebrating childish impulses and immature desires is what this sounds like to me.

Please show your work. They still accepted X on government documents, even titles, as a signature when I was a kid.

Not just that, but slaves did not interact with each other, they were isolated so they couldn’t come up with a common language.
