I swear I hate this s***. Me and my homeboy were balling and this little white boy in middle school is code switching like it’s nothing, using different vernacular when communicating about a play or something on the court related but using his normal voice when talking in a regular tone to his other white friend. We started telling him to shut the f*** up at certain points cause you do that at the wrong park and it won’t be too cool then.

I hate when people act black only when it’s convenient. Nah b****, you don’t have a clue what it’s like to live in this country with such an evil and vile past towards my ancestors and my current generation. I don’t get to turn it on and off.

Cringe af

bro what the f*** are yall talking about

And a communist authoritarian government would never even think of using it as a tool of influence I’m sure. They definitely haven’t created algorithms that spy on you and build personality, interest, and health profiles on its users to figure out how to keep them on the app. They definitely don’t care about influencing an entire generation of kids in a country they see as competition lol

POV: Xi Jinpeng teaching the masses about the term "smoking on opp pack"

Lmfao

In defense of these kids, they don't know any better. Most of them don't have any idea of where these 'trends' originate from. They're just force fed it through a screen that causes dopaminergic activity.

Yeah, like, it's f***ing cringe but at the same time who are we to judge? We used to type in l33t sp34k which was stolen from 'nerd' culture.

"YB better" originally came from "China better" no cap bro

You're kind of right but at the same time nobody is going to agree with you since you've presented it in a terrible way.

mfw you realize no cap is originally short for "no capitalism"

Yep. It’s grown men in my hometown who are white and Hispanic who all say the n word in front of black people and it’s welcomed/okay. Just the environment. Still cringe to me

Anyone that cares enough to disagree will hopefully continue to read my messages until they see the light

We’re in the algorithm era. What TikTok is doing is not revolutionary. They’ve simply refined it better then, and before, anyone else. If IG reels came before tiktok it’d be the same thing

All these social media companies have processes that allow for them to suppress what they want to, and promote what they want to. TikTok is being put in an unreasonable spotlight because they’re foreign

No, because they are literally owned by a foreign adversary/foreign government. That is not disputable.

It’s a complicated issue, like should we normalize @DevilOrAngel route of telling kids to shut the f*** up when we hear them putting on an accent whether it’s intentional or not?

Because if I’m being honest even though society doesn’t force me to code switch in the sense that Black Americans are sometimes forced to, but I catch myself doing it especially when talking to an administrator at my school vs. when I’m talking to students. I don’t do it intentionally, but I notice it. Am I wrong for that? I could try and mask it but that just feels like I’m disguising myself even further.

Me when free market capitalism creates competition

I mean all social media here is also pretty much government controlled except for Twitter now, so I guess it’s hypocritical.

it's extremely obvious idk why anyone even coming at you

rap is the number one genre in the country, slang is going nationwide thanks to social media. no s*** everyones speaking patterns are converging a bit

it's very rare that I see a white person speak in straight up ebonics tho. it's more or less just them using some inner city slang they picked up off the internet. the only people that actually be straight up forcing ebonics for whatever reasons are flamboyant gays and s***

then why is everyone on their a***ytics and algorithms teams former CIA spooks lol
