    We are influencers all over the world! We are home, let's go home. When I am in Senegal, I feel at home and no I do not blame Africans for what happened to us! They did not have a choice. Place the blame where it belongs!, let's heal Black African people! We are a great. You cannot take Africa out of me!

    the first Africans taken out was in the 13th century when Portugal sent 600 orphans to one of the islands of Africa. These weer the black Jews. This began taking of Africans to Brazil and the development of the Atlantic Slave Trade.....when Europeans saw how the Arabs conducted slave trains out of Africa they too wanted their share.

    Do not assume that every single black person code-switches. Most do but there are people who either don’t know how to or chooses not to speak in AAVE. Some people just speak in one way and that’s all they’re accustomed to.

    In the Adirondack Mountains, way north in NYS, is Tupper Lake. They definitely have their own distinct accent. I was in NC years ago out in the boon docks, and I couldn’t understand a word that the locals said. I was shocked, they had their own dialect & I didn’t have a clue.

    FBA speaking in the Slave English Dialect is a language that differenciates them from Black Immigrants they should Continue to Speak as a Reminder of what the Racist Immigrants did to their Elders when they Stripped them of their Native and African tongues and Not to conform to the ideals today on how so called English should be spoken. Go to Europe where the so called English language originated and you will hear it spoken in Different Dialects that are hard to Pronounce or Understand so to the YT American Immigrants they should be quiet🤫shshsh...

    Just like I would say to anyone else, learn to speak English, by that I mean Standard English. Does anyone hear black news people speak AAVE ? NO ! The reason that they don't, is because they know it is not Proper English.

    Language is so interesting. I grew up in Durham so it's pretty neutral but my parents are from TN and AR. So hearing them and my family speak was always different. But once I visited Eastern NC I realized some of the speaking like how she mentioned "screet" in the video sounds like my family in TN. I've started doing geneaology and realized that TN is pretty much a mixture of the various regions in NC and VA and certain places like Haywood County was founded by a mixture of people from the northern Piedmont, northern Coastal plain and the Southwestern part of the Piedmont and you can hear all of those dialects in the language there.

    My people came from Scotland, Ireland and Wales and Germany back in the 1600 and 1700s. Seven Bowen brothers fought in the Revolution. Started out in Virginia and just kept moving west with each generation. Some of the old words and phrases still crop up in my speech.

    Dang. This video been on here 6 years and never came across it. I grew up around Blue Ridge Mtn folks like this, and love this accent......could listen to it all day long. My grandparents very large families from 1880s "generated" family reunions the size of a small army; hoedowns rotating weekly from home to home on Saturday nights. Appalachian music was prevalent everywhere with these folks, and many family members could play a fiddle, acoustic guitar, claw hammer style banjo, juice harp, r jugs. Poor ole miserable city folks.

    My grandmother is PA Dutch, grew up and lived her whole life in southern Pennsylvania, and a lot of these words made it up there. Jasper, Peckerwood, Poke, Over Yander, Plumb, Tarred (tired); all of these are absolutely familiar.
