Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

This is easy. All you have to do is hang out with black people. What they're saying now is what white people will adopt in 10 years. Black people will be forced to adopt new slang, and the cycle continues.
Black people are not biological poets. It's just that they live in the position to easily see mainstream culture for what it really is because it's not for them. They also understand white culture through media immersion.
Black people have an advantage over culture and language because they must be bilingual to get by.
Sounds neat, but this is an utterly trash take.
You can attribute certain phrases sure, like cap/no cap being from African American centric culture, but were black groups saying 6-7 or skibbidi toilet 15 years ago?
Hell, the slang, "shipping" came from a nerd website about X-Files.
There are no more groups that culturally evolve in a vacuum.
And then you low key disparage black culture by saying mainstream culture is not for them? And that they drive it because they are not in it!? I'm starting to think you don't actually even understand what culture is.
This is such a juvenile and shallow understanding.
