AAVE

Short for African American Vernacular Language. AAVE has been around for decades, centuries even…black people have created our own words that have circulated around our own communities. Some may label AAVE as “slang” or “ghetto” but it’s simply the way we speak and pronounce words. When those who are not black use AAVE, it’s very weird considering they are copying our every move.

Examples of AAVE: Musty, Chile, Ms girl, Deadass, Headass, cap, no cap, sis, pressed, finna, period/purr, asf, sus, stank, the gag, pop off, tea, trippin, hella, buggin, Tweakin, On my mama, Raw, real talk, snatched, gas/gassed/gassin, willin/wilding, aggy, wack/whack, throwing hands, girl bye/boy bye, and much more.

Pro-black

The uplifting of black people whether it’s financially or physically. Being pro-black means black everything. If you are dating outside of your race, then you can’t be considered pro-black. How can you be pro-black but have a white significant other? Simply put, you can’t be pro-black and sleep white.

I order all my self-care from black-owned businesses because I am Pro-black
