Black English

Blog #4

It really is weird when I hear non-blacks speaking Black English. It just doesn't make sense to me. I don't think that dialect is necessary. I don't think it sound cool. I disagree with that behavior. I think that Black English is unique to blacks and that it should be kept like that. What amazes me more is the fact that not only small kids are speaking like this, grown young men and women in college are using this dialect. I hear it all the time in campus. Sometimes I just tell myself, "You didn't hear anything." I guess it is kind of a habit that they have. I don't blame them because I understand that Rap music might have the biggest influence in this behavior. Music in general is very "catchy." Many times they used improper dialect, but the listeners will take it as it is. Later on they use the dialect without having much clue of how the world sees them mocking that behavior. I hate to hear, "Sup!"
