Black culture is ubiquitous, and it has caused other races to try and poach certain aspects of how they move. Lizzo recently called out white people for “talking like Black people.”
The “About Damn Time” singer jumped on TikTok on Wednesday (March 6) to respond to a white woman speaking about her suitors using the phrase “type sh*t.” This prompted her to go into a full rant.
“Why don’t we bring back gatekeeping?” she asked. “So that AAVE is reserved for the people who created it and grew up speaking it. So that all these people that are now talking like Black people because they read words on the internet and don’t know the origin and don’t participate in the culture don’t overuse it and then things like this happen.”
Lizzo continued, speaking about the underlying meanings of the term “ganglish,” and what it really meant.
“Because ‘ganglish’ is definitely the new ‘thug,'” she said. “When police would call someone a ‘thug’ but it’s really a Black person, which is the new hard ‘r’ N-word. I know so many people who have said ‘type sh*t, type sh*t’ their entire lives. I’ve heard them talk like that for years before it became trendy on the internet to say that.” She closed by forecasting that internet users will get tired of using Black people’s language, thus allowing them to speak in peace. She punctuated her rant by saying “type sh*t.”

calling out black people for cultural appropriations...like straightening hair, blonding hair, wearing blue jeans, wearing BELTS to hold up blue jeans, carrying firearms(purely a white thing), speaking English, being on TV or video AND being as fat as Chris Christie. ALL of these are “Cultural Appropriations” fully undeserved by fat bellied Fatheads like lizzeo.
So she wants discrimination by race?
Or this:
To me it is virtually unrecognizable as a language of which I am capable of understanding. AAVE promoters can keep their language. Just don’t expect me to understand or respect it. It’s just a crutch to compensate for not learning English in school or being committed to communicating at the best level possible.
Isn’t ‘thug’ derived from the Hindi term ‘thugee’ (usually in reference to Islamo thugees)?
Well fo shizzle my nizzle…
I am so fine with white people not using AAVE... I just wish moron culture would end. I spent two miserable months trying to teach ghetto turds to read and was under physical and verbal attack daily.
I have never seen such a self destructive, and arrogantly so, culture. I never want to be around anything like that again...
I find it disgusting... and I find it tragic that so many rich suburban kids are so enamored of the culture.
Lizzo says “the bigger the cushion, the better the pushin’!”
Lizzo give back your straightened hair. And your modern clothes, shoes, jewelry too. All of those are European in origin.
well, it’ll sure make you feel like all you have is a push-pin once you’ve managed to find the correct hole under all that blubber.
I think Lizzo should lose a few pounds. Why would anyone want to talk like her? Other than that, I have no idea what she is talking about. Is she on dope?
Music recording was invented by Whitemen.
Television was invented by Whitemen.
Spandex was invented by Whitemen.
This ghettopotamus “Lizzo” needs to quit appropriating White Culture.
I see. This creature admits that black people are thugs. She needs to hang out with a better class of black people ... except that they'd have nothing to do with her ignorant, arrogant, racist, fat rump.
Funny thing is, isn’t AAVE basically derived from a certain 17th century dialect of English? I read that somewhere, what sound like quirks to standard American English speakers are actually following grammatical rules.
Should Blacks even be trying to bastardize English?
I don’t think so. At least the ‘Rat ones.
Blubbersaur.
What it is, big momma . . . My momma didn’t raise no dummies. I dug her rap . . .
So ebonics?
