Much of our slang comes from the Black community. Not acknowledging that perpetuates racism.

"White people – on social media and in real life – regularly appropriate African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) like "slay" and "sis" without thinking, and some of these phrases come directly from the Black LGBTQ community. Experts say this perpetuates racism, erases Black contributions and fuels cultural misunderstandings. Simply put: It's Black linguistic appropriation."
I wonder if a day will come when everyone that lives in America will become Brothers & Sisters?
'White People' and 'African-American' seem to be divisive. Now, to be 'Politically Correct', we need to divide the language up into 'Black Language' and 'White Language' and make sure no one is 'appropriating' the other group's 'language', am I understanding this correctly?
"So many of these expressions are opportunities for Black people to release themselves of the trauma of white supremacy and anti-Blackness," McCune says. "The casual use of Black queer phrases or Black community phrases is another slap in the face or a rejection of the idea that these things emerge out of trauma and anti-Blackness."
This gets better as I read on.
"There is no way to meaningfully police people's language – so it's up to white people to not "spill the tea" so much that it makes it feel like their own. "We need a white public that is not interested in utilizing terms that they know is not a part of their dining room table vernacular," McCune says."
Well, Phantasmal is 'white'. I guess Phantasmal will have to 'police' the language being used here. Thanks, Micawber. This is good stuff. (place eye-roll emoji here)

Jack! Settle! Be nice. So, from what little I've gathered, they request to be given a notable language. Therefore, there will be numerous languages, no?
You ever heard Rhode Islanders? They're even worse than New Yorkers. Oh, and the Mennonites! Then there's "...press two for Spanish, ..."
Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

(shaking head) Read the Article. It's by some Black Dyke.
1. Acknowledge 'appropriation of Black language'.
2. Then, the 'Labor' of inventing the slang should be monetized back to the original group, and not usurped by the White Devils. (OK, I kinda' made up the last part, but that's the jist)
