AAVE - African American Vernacular English
unapologetically-black: “The AAVE (African American Vernacular English) is the product of a combination of historical, linguistic, and social factors in the long-term experience of African Americans in the United States. It is stigmatized because it is spoken by a stigmatized group.” Black people speaking AAVE is NOT an indication of the intelligence of a person or people.
