I'm not racist but...

But holy shit nothing bothers me more then when black people say "axe" instead of "ask" again I'm not racist at all but that shit bothers me so much!! N I only ever hear black people say it like that why? I don't get it tell me k? Edit: Incase anyone new wants to comment this ("if you start your sentence with I'm not racist but?" You're probably racist.) Don't waste your time about 100 other people got you covered.

  • Ebonics ("black talk") is interesting because that vernacular is a result of slaves not having been allowed to be literate and as such picking up how to speak from the white redneck slave owners. African Americans like to defend it as part of their culture when people make fun of them for speaking that way but it's only a part of their culture because it was learned from the slave owners and passed down through generations of slaves and continued to pass down after slavery was abolished. I would think they'd want to rebel against that rather than embrace it? Just a thought.
