Is your sister in the music industry? Because you mentioned her "rapper" friends, and I just want to make it clear to everyone in this thread that not all AAs in NYC are "rappers".
- jordigh 10y agoYes, she is in the music industry. I didn't mean to say rappers and AAVE were synonymous.
- stuxnet79 10y agoOk, thanks for clarifying. I don't understand why I am being downvoted.
- unclenoriega 10y agoI think you're being downvoted because you seem to assume that, but for your intervention, the people reading this thread would assume that all blacks in NYC are rappers. The downvoters probably assume that you did not make this post in good faith but instead posted in a fit of passive-aggression, or for some other motive that does not contribute to the conversation.
