Awkwafina says she is ready to"listen" as she exits Twitter over accusations that she uses AAVE and a"blaccent" in her comedy.
In her letter, Awkwafina acknowledged the “sociopolitical context” behind the allegations, stating how Black people have been systematically oppressed while their culture was historically “stolen, exploited and appropriated by the dominant culture for monetary gain without acknowledgment nor respect from where those roots came from.” She shared that the problem exists today on social media platforms like TikTok and in music made by non-Black creators.
Stop! All people's words have become slang that other groups then adopt and use. It is why we are the melting pot. It's not an offense to use something, just because another group started it. Just as it's not offensive, that black people choose to straighten their hair.
So in sum, Lum was realizing it's OK to use black culture to be hip which made her money. But going to schools that are predominantly black, is bad for your credit, etc etc... So confused, and before you go there, Rogan is not a racist... Don't go there!!
LMAO what “blaccent” 😂😭😭😂😂😂
