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.”

This obese monster is so unaware. She says Whites can’t speak AAVE and starts out by using the term “gatekeeping.” Vernacular invented by a White man. SMFH
Okay and black people cannot have hair any other color than black, can’t wear blue jeans or suits…..
STFU
She should have addressed the latest social media viral discussion where African Americans admitted that they were bullied in the hood for speaking well.
Ah, the problems of the privileged, rich, and protected.
Me, I’m just waiting for this bezzomny cheena to stop the chepooka and go back to munchy-wunchy pischka (appy-polly-loggies to the real horrorshow Anthony Burgess).

I’ve never read the book. Always planned to after seeing Kubrick’s take on it, but never got around to it.
When is she going to stop speaking English? She culturally appropriating.
is
Doesn’t this gigantic fat beast have several golden corrals to lay waste to?
How she got time for dis?
Overall, she’s not wrong.
Ghetto culture and language has spread among all classes and races in America, and its part of the reason for the general decline of the USA
A better idea would be to copy the language and thought of the most well-known and respected dead white males from history.
Is that new speak for Jive or Ebonics? I can't keep up with this sh!t any more.
She jumped on Tik Tok. Did it sag in the middle?
All you have to do is roll her in flour and look for the wet spot.
I TOO SPEAK JIVE!
“AAVE?” african american vernacular english?
Oh, is she still alive?
Yes indeed! I have a less politically correct term for it, but I can’t post it here.
Is Lizo the fat one? Do you think she is fat because she is such a good cook? I don’t know and I don’t care.
Pretty much.
