Why do african american speak different english?Good question. Sometimes I think they do it purposely so they have a reason to say they're discriminated against in the workforce. Problem is that most good paying jobs want people who can speak English properly, for the most part. Most other people who speak English may have an accent and various different words they use, but at least they still generally speak English correctly.

People like you cross the street to get away from the mean old black man LONG before you could possibly hear him speak.

Of course black people purposely speak poor english because they don't want jobs, just like in your mind gays choose to be gay in order to reap all of the benefits, being kicked out of the military, being beaten, and discriminated against for housing and in the job market. Who wouldn't want all of that?

Most linguistic anthropologists agree that African American Vernacular English is not a discreet language from English. I don't know if it's specific to African Americans; it could be common of poorer people in general.

As for why they do it, I believe in some parts of the world there is a type of stigma to speaking "perfect" or "textbook" english. AAVE is part of a culture and to speak with precise grammar could be seen as a betrayal to one's roots in a sense.

There could also be a type of positive feedback cycle in play. Those who who do not speak perfect english may have a harder time getting jobs; this makes them resent people who do speak perfect english, and so they become even more counter-establishment.

Culture is part of it. I heard of a report that shows more and more young people are being rejected for their resumes. There is a growing number of people who use messaging shortcuts in their resumes! Employers aren't very fond of that as a writing style.

The vn kid return the following day with a group of his friends with knives and machetes and just randomly stabbing/hackin/beatin any black person they see.

Funny, because yesterday I watched a gig from Sindbad (in the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal)

" In Canada, you speak both English and French; in the U.S, we speak neither; when you guys go down there, we greet you with a "Yo, wassup" and you guys don't get it "
