Black culture is ubiquitous, and it has caused other races to try and poach certain aspects of how they move. Lizzo recently called out white people for “talking like Black people.”
The “About Damn Time” singer jumped on TikTok on Wednesday (March 6) to respond to a white woman speaking about her suitors using the phrase “type sh*t.” This prompted her to go into a full rant.
“Why don’t we bring back gatekeeping?” she asked. “So that AAVE is reserved for the people who created it and grew up speaking it. So that all these people that are now talking like Black people because they read words on the internet and don’t know the origin and don’t participate in the culture don’t overuse it and then things like this happen.”
Lizzo continued, speaking about the underlying meanings of the term “ganglish,” and what it really meant.
“Because ‘ganglish’ is definitely the new ‘thug,'” she said. “When police would call someone a ‘thug’ but it’s really a Black person, which is the new hard ‘r’ N-word. I know so many people who have said ‘type sh*t, type sh*t’ their entire lives. I’ve heard them talk like that for years before it became trendy on the internet to say that.” She closed by forecasting that internet users will get tired of using Black people’s language, thus allowing them to speak in peace. She punctuated her rant by saying “type sh*t.”

It sounds something like this:
i thought Slobbo was over....
It’s too bad she’s not.
“So that AAVE is reserved for the people who created it and grew up speaking it”
Imagine if English were like that.
Uneducated idiot...’thug’ is race neutral.
Don't dis Barbara Billingsley.
Just ask those illegal aliens invading our country.
As long as antibiotics, internal combustion engines, computers, electricity, firearms, and pretty much everything modern are reserved for white peoples, this seems a reasonable trade.
What an idiot. With all that’s going on in the world right now, and this is what’s making her lose her appetite from stress? Grow up!
She will never have to call out this white person for that.
And I frequently correct my grand children for it.
Good grammar and correct English is a hallmark of an educated man.
Always has been, always will be.
Go berate your employees you stanky hippo.
I hope the good parts of European culture move into the black community as easily as the bad parts of black culture move into the European descendant community.
The appeal of gangsta’ culture and the pro sport self-celebration culture utterly elude me.
But maybe it’s the equivalent of America’s fascination with the Mafia in the 70’s and 80’s. Of course, non-mafia people didn’t go around acting like Italian made men — shark skin suits never became vogue. The rest of America just kind of watched.

It’s not cultural. It’s ignorant and profane.

I agree with her, wiggers are very annoying.
Lizzo should be pleased to know that I have never, and would never, talk that way.
Wish she would just roll away.
And, as I was a flute major at uni, she’s not even mediocre. And I SERIOUSLY have my doubts she was even playing Madison’s crystal flute at the L of C and getting that tone. It was dubbed/mimed, IMHO, for “cred”.
