gotta go down as one of the most embarassing tweets of all time. prime example of digital blackface
Chet is a white dude who prolly grew up on primarily black basketball teams. I still remember that video of him throwing up GD in hs lmao. it’s not digital blackface he just acts like that.
i mean the tweet just comes off so unnatural that even if he does speak like that it almost feels like he's making a mockery. not saying he's a racist or he's even using "digital blackface" but it just has that vibe. aave butchered to the point of being entirely incomprehensible
look at cooper flagg he talks the same way, hooper speak is just dominated by black people so of course people who play ball a lot will use slang that is popularized by the black community. i perfectly understood what he meant as funny as od hang pulls sounds. I’m black and I’ve prolly said shit even more incomprehensible than that lmao.
hahaha I mean fair. guys gotta adapt I guess. you heard jeremy sochan on the court vs in interviews?
What????
