Hey. New to the Patreon. Actually first and only so far I follow but the socio-cultural insights you provide are definitionally invaluable.
Had a question for you, FD, and anyone else here ever since all this PD š³ shit has been blowing up.
Simply put. Do yāall have any feeling about or fear towards what cultural..repercussions may come from all of the ācloakedā language Diddy āusedā to throw what he was doing in our face but āover our headsā
My worry is just rooted in that this, to me, feels like the first time our language has been so perverted from the inside. Itās like the most whitewashed telling of the history will still grant that black slang was borne out ofāamong other factorsāa need for the encaptured and slaved Africans to communicate these core neccessities of expression for survival while primarily not being understood by the overseers etc.
But now. What this puffing diddler has done is use that same language to make the establishment not quite sure if heās likely as bad as the black community in general has always pretty known⦠for no other reason than to flaunt and abuse his own power in, Iād say, the most disgusting of ways.
Do you guys think this correlation is relevant or is it more likely that because what heās done is so extreme that his language use likely wont be used to further generalize all of the community?
