Republican Rep. Nancy Mace and Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett got into a heated exchange at a House hearing that culminated with Mace challenging Crockett by asking whether she wanted to “take it outside.”

"that "Chile" was big mad" 😂😂

"if this was the other way around…"

"Whew chiiiile😩😏😏"

"Tell me u don't have any black friends without telling me u dont hve any Black friends."

"Nancy Mace: "I am no child!!!" Also Nancy Mace: *Proceeds to throw a tantrum like a child*"

Are there Black dialects of Spanish?

Some people got a surprising result after taking an MIT dialect quiz. It was meant to guess what U.S. dialect the test taker spoke and the person's native language. As results started coming in, many Spanish speakers saw their English dialect had been marked as “U.S. Black Vernacular/Ebonics”

But what's the connection between speaking Spanish and U.S. Black Vernacular?

In the United States, dialects spoken by African Americans are sometimes referred to as Black English, African American Vernacular English, or even Ebonics. Though the terms have had different levels of popularity, having a specific name at all has given African Americans the ability to reclaim their language practices as a joyous part of their identity. 

But much less common are terms and discussions about Blackness and Black language beyond English. If Black English dialects exist, are there also Black forms of other languages due to colonization? For example, are there Black Spanishes and Black Portugueses, too? Read more here.

Is it wrong to refer to my hair as nappy? I don’t mind or have a problem with my hair being nappy. I love my hair, texture, density, and all.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong w not looking at it w negative context if you’re someone Black who doesn’t find the use of the term derogatory — or may even find it empowering. I’m no fan of it, but that’s just me personally (mainly bc “nappy” has literally never been used w positive or harmless connotation; it’s always been used w some sort of shaming or texturism attached to it so). There’s also the fact that it’s never been used to “define or describe” looser textures, which is kinda tongue in cheek itself to me but. If you like it I love it. If you perceive it differently in a positive way, don’t let nobody stop you <3

I die a little inside whenever I see someone referring to people like Billie Eilish and Lana Del Rey as “mother”. Like…y’all are using that term so fucking wrong that it’s actually funny.

Rupaul is mother. Angela Bassett is mother. Patti LaBelle is mother. Barbra Streisand is mother.
