Corny white people who gentrify and misuse AAVE/EBONICS SLANG THEN CHANGE IT AND CALL IT GEN ALPHA/GEN Z SLANG WHEN IT'S BEEN A THING FOR DECADES Development of AAVE and historical connection to african dialects and slave resistance Ebonics (translate literally to "Black language") came first and had a very particular connotation. Basically, it was viewed as "improper" English. It was associated with pidgin (hodge-podge) or nonsense languages (like Jive or made fun of in pop culture such as the character Anton from Living Color. The implication was often paired with media/cultural depictions of Black folks as uneducated, trying to get above their station, being ghetto/low class, etc. Basically, it was a stereotype that the way Black people talked was due to being stupid AND part of what made they inherently different or un-American. It was a form of distancing them from "correct" American (educated white) behavior even if they were born in the US. It was viewed as a separate language NOT a dialect (this definition is political, not linguistic). By contrast, the phrase AAVE was officially recognized in 1996 by the Oakland School Board to affirm the fact that African Americans are American citizens with their own dialect of English. It was used to distinguish and validate the grammatical nuances while also moving away from the harmful stereotyping with Ebonics. AAVE does have its own set of grammatical rules, such as the use of habitual "be" (AAVE grammar). (source reddit)

From the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Please keep up the good work and I hope everyone will find joy as I have one day.

Just wish it could have had a little more of the text on the mug, but otherwise it's great. What a clever marketing idea to be able to get this on t-shirts and mugs.
I spent the money and directly sent this to be the pettest person ever to a person who was doing this to me. It was awesome
It’s a sturdy ceramic mug. A little pricey, IMO, but I really wanted this definition on a mug. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just what is needed for someone’s desk during the pandemic and beyond when they have to “MacGuyver” to make things happen.
Best purchase of my life, it's all downhill from here!
