why do black people speak english "how they do?"?

Question

why do black people say stuff like

"baby boo" "baby's daddy" "skeet skeet skeet" "how we do?"

and make loud monkey sounds..

why cant u just say "the father" for baby's daddy?

do blacks think its cool to speak ebonics? cause if you do..please dont become teachers.. because it could suck for the students who have teachers that say "how we do 2+2?"

"Get it right"

btw, i think ebonics is ok for RAP ( i love blacks and rap music and other black inventions) e.g. Lil Jon .. i love when he screams "YEAH, OK!!" a thousand times, and is classified as music.

if this was rude, i apologize before hand, i emphasize i am CURIOUS to why this is the case, but I LOVE black people, rap music, and other black stuff..

monkey sounds = i hear alot of black kids do the impression from the ying yang twins.. why do they think that the sound is cool??

Answer 1

1st of all, dat iz how we talk, u need no more info on dat... Itz just sunthin we grew on from back in da day from tha black society. I mean shoo, we know howta work it when we needs to turn it on and off around certain folks. We know dat when we iz goin for an interview den we needz to turn it off, but when we be w/ our homies or folks we can turn it on, its just how white folks iz, u know good n well they aint all propper until when they be at home, everybody puts on a front no matter where they be at, but when they get around dey folks and/or whoever then its a whold different story, so waz real hood. I mean doesnt society play a big factor in peoplez lives today? Right. Dat meanz dat in da black society our eyez see that, and thats how we be or for yall white folks thats how we "adapt", so, get it right, get it right get it tight!!!

And now on the flip side... On behalf of the black community, we would like to thank you for your support of the African Americans in the Rap industry with your white dollars. Because, statistically, more white dollars are spent on rap music than black. So regardless of what you may believe, or hold true to you heart regarding the grammar abilities of black people, you implicitly give your consent and approval to our way of communication. Perhaps, you should ask why Emminem speaks like that. I would have a larger sense of wonder about the white crossovers, not the genuine black man, woman, or child.

Additionally, do you think by you saying how much you "love" black people negates the racial overtones of your comments? You would have been served the same had you simply said, "My best friend is black".

Answer 2

The particular way of speaking in which you refer, comes from popular culture. Young blacks, like any of group of people in the U.S., use words and phrases that are considered "cool" at the moment. For instance, in the 80's when I was growing up, words like "jawn" and "chumpy" were popular. If I were to use those words now, I would be considered "square". "Square" is a words that was popular in the white community some decades back.

There was a time when young people knew that when they were around their friend and just hanging out, its okay to use slang. They also understood that there was a such thing as standard English that they would use in a more professional setting. Today, it seems that this generation thinks that speaking standard English is..."square".

Answer 3

Their dialect has developed throughout their history in America. It started when they were forcibly put into slavery and moved to America, and most where forced to learn English. When they combined their native language with English (as some did with their native Religion and Christianity), a whole new dialect developed. Throughout history even up until now, many African Americans have lived in communities made of African Americans. This has added to their development of a unique way of speaking. They way the talk is not a sign of inferiority or wierdness... its their heritage.

Answer 4

You have to go back centuries in history (maybe all the way back to colonisation) The language they use is the result of their living conditions in America. Language is like genes, transmitting from generation to generation. So there is no general answer to your question, it would take an ethimologist and historians to trace back certain words or expressions

Answer 6

in spite of the indisputable fact that this does take place each on occasion, majority of blacks i be attentive to communicate "suited english" besides so i don't get referred to as performing white or conversing white. human beings hardly each think of that i'm attempting to be something that i'm not, in spite of the race. i've got unquestionably been informed with the help of black people who I act like and communicate like myself. what's right English besides? do you be attentive to that the Europeans (quite the British) continually make relaxing of ways human beings communicate because of the fact we don't communicate suited English in accordance to them? human beings have replaced the English language and this language is being replaced prevalent with the help of majority of young toddlers.
