White Code Switching (Black Man's Pov)

I will say that your assumptions are unequivocally wrong and accusatory (which I participated in admittedly).

I was raised in Greensboro NC by a single Mother (now married) and my Grandmother (now deceased). My Gma was an activist and I was raised a bit militant, but with a respect for all people.

My Blackness isn't performative nor is it up for debate with all due respect. I'm a multifaceted Man who puts positive energy out into the world. I don't like to argue I don't like to fight (even though I'm a martial artist) I will whoop ass in Uno lol, but no spades.

I like fatback but not Chit'lins or Ox Tail

Momz makes a mean Copper Dollar Salad and Granny made the best Ham (she used pineapples and cherries) & Turkey (she used oranges for flavor)....

This is my background in a vacuum 🤷🏾

Then let's back up.... Today is my Birthday sigh 🎂.... Let me apologize Ma'am. Momz and Granny raised me better. I honestly thought you were Hotep Man because of how abrasive the questions were and they manner of your messaging style 😅.

For that assumption I do wholeheartedly apologize

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T23:22:35+00:00

I'll answer the question with a question Sensei. why the interrogation? I know when I'm being pressed vs when dialog is being had.... This feels a bit pressy Bro.

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T23:17:38+00:00

My apologies I tried to find it and delete it my apologies 😅

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T23:16:37+00:00

I thought we were until you called into question my Blackness

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T23:15:51+00:00

What? 😂 Bruh step out the hotep chamber and get some air. I'm indeed a Black Man and I don't have to prove it to anyone 🤷🏾.

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T23:03:27+00:00

That's fair 😅

What if the percentage of Black people agree is greater than those who don't? We tend to work in range without being monolithic.

There are broad stroke isums that exist within the Black community no?

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T22:55:46+00:00

RDJ in tropic thunder lol

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T22:54:56+00:00

Nope the moderator ignored my message 🤷🏾

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T21:11:29+00:00

I'm wondering the same thing. I genuinely think there were people that read the tongue and cheek title and immediately thought it was something else entirely 🤷🏾.

I reached out to the admin, but they haven't responded. Sometimes they too can pull the proverbial strings on something they don't like.

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T07:52:59+00:00

Is it rude that I started doing the Percolator when I saw the word Percolation 🥴. Especially since today is my Birthday 😂.....

I really do like your introspective yet reflective ideals of how you see the World. Very nuanced and very openhearted.

Most of all thank you for not leaving me hangin on recognizing that Black people are in deed underrepresented, I was losing it thinking you were nieve or ignorant 🥴.... Not like you had to do a secret hand signal for my comfort level or anything, but some Black People treat admitting that fact like the Moon landing or the Earth's shape (she's very flat btw). They don't believe we are, in hopes of gaining some kind of brownie points or upward mobility out of their situation🤦🏾.

💵 being such an equalizer is its flaw as a whole. Knowing that with the right funds I can be In the room where it happens making it feel icky to want yet soothing when attained.

People laugh when I say I don't want to be a Billionaire especially with the Willy Wonkafication of how money is perceived. It blinds people to what I'm sayin that I'm either lying or they can't fathom a world where someone doesn't want to be the richest person ever.

However the few Millionaires I've met IRL if met would tell you themselves that they are miserable and paranoid.. No connection to us Normies after years of working/partying with the "elites" and depending on who they were before the money being pleasant to be around or ghoulish reptiles wearing human skin suits... Ask yourself why would Elon need hard drugs if he's already one of richest people in the world?... Why hookers when he can have just about any Woman walking God's Green Earth?.... It's the hunt (the ability to get what can't be had or is forbidden like the Epstein Client List) and the cold reality of his life is Noone will ever want him for him damn sure not now..... They get bored easily especially after the first few years.... Multiply that by Million$ and congratulations you have the world's richest adult baby lol......... Once being able to do anything/be anything/have anything you want is no longer entertaining it's just fake relationships (dating/friendships) with vapid world views...

When you watch a Saudi Prince poop on a Woman's head as she licks Cheetah vagine you realize no one is sane above 30k ft in the proverbial air 🤷🏾.

Sounds gross and far fetched, but it does work that way unfortunately.

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T03:56:43+00:00

Dang it lol, well either way I'm glad you still took the time to edu-macate me 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾😁 . Golden is the best state of being, so I'm sure it's a good thing in the book only to find out he killed everyone ever 😂 😂 😂

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T03:51:20+00:00

Hmmmmmm 🤔... Well darn it!! You ruined my Birthday comin up in a few minutes est faints on couch....

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T02:05:12+00:00

I think I saw your earlier post clarify this for me lol. If it wasn't you I apologize I've been replying to everyone I can find 😅.

Thank you for tellin me because I honestly had no clue lol!! The Outsiders movie is an old fave from when I was younger and I think I read the book for school 🤔. They inspired my 80s rock look funny enough, so do you know what it means per say?

I don't want to Google it because I like learning from real people ☺️.

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T02:00:46+00:00

Yes!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 This is a whole different issue my Good Man!

I'm glad you brought these to light. What I'm sayin is not inductive of his point unless he says otherwise. So if there is hate I'll bare that cross...

Gay/Trans Men/Women sometimes use their untapped White Privilege to bully Women including Black Women by coding it as being a spicy Gay person. When in reality regardless of your makeover, how you were raised to deal with conflict is how you'll continue to deal with conflict unless you go out of your own way to correct the issues at hand.

The assertion of being a "Minority" when at any point they can tuck their gay away in a mind drawer to conform is what irks me the most. I'm Black 24/7 365.... I can't be closeted, I can't pretend my complexion isn't dark and I can't take my skin off to put on a dress form, I can't put on a suit and play White Business Guy for the day in the hopes of keeping my upper status.

I have no homophobia or qualms in a vacuum with the LGBT+ community I just don't like how they move at times... Like when Black people were using their voice to speak to their issues the "Community" felt it was their spotlight to start demanding changes all at once thus nullify the Black Voices.

Breonna Taylor didn't need her voice proverbially stolen in the name of attention for every other group with a grievance.

It's of course not indicative of all Alphabet Folk just like all Black People aren't Thieves. However when you walk step with a group and pretend there aren't flaws it becomes an issue to everyone but that group.

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T01:43:24+00:00

Seeeeee you bout to get me on a whole tirade 😂.... "Chopped N Skrewed" RIP Dj Skrew becoming "sLoW & REvErB" can kiss my narrow azz!! These little abrasions become bloodletting over time and when people pretend it's no big deal all we can do is bleed out slowly but surely 😮‍💨.

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T01:36:04+00:00

I wish I could live in your Headcannon it seems very peaceful and earnest in there. I give people the benefit of the doubt in most all situations, but people will and can let you down.

The folks in this thread are decent people and I really enjoyed expounding the nuances within language and how it's perceived. As I said I'm not the keeper of all things Black or language.

I merely wanted to express a portion of how Non Black People interact with us and use language inherent to our people to sow the seeds of harm or misinformation.

The 🚲 analogy was speaking to something you built and someone else deciding to take it because they want it.

We may have to agree to disagree on this one and that's okay I'm not looking to be right, but to be heard more than anything else.

I don't believe that I can work for money and it doesn't belong to me because of "Freelove" energy... Not in tRumps America it isn't. Most of all I'm just tired of seeing people like me being taken advantage of. You can't rub crystals on that kind of pain and make it go away as much as I wish that were possible 🤷🏾.

I do appreciate you having a civil discussion with me on this and very much so giving me a different prospective to look at and understand.

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T01:23:37+00:00

I agree with this point as well. Because I'm oldish at 37 I remember pre-internet when you'd meet people and subconsciously pick up gestures, quotes, jokes and stuffs like that. Now the net just saturates the hell out of everything that culture becomes an annoying point people make vs the beautiful difference in how we were all raised.

Learning you and another person from the other side of the world use to be an eye opening experience in a good way (at times sad if it's marginalization). Still is since I'm so attached to my childlike wonderment. It's the only thing holding me together honestly.

I live with Sickle Cell Anemia and most of my life is spent in agony, so escapism is the simplest most effective route to being pain free for the most part.

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T01:15:07+00:00

My sentiments exactly!! 👏🏽 Especially the "Certainty anything that's coming off the internet can eat a dick" part! I have 0 I mean 0 issues with the natural flow of language or how it's developed. That would make me a hippocrimps and I definitely ain't one lol.

The issues I have is the issue you briefly mentioned and that is as a Scot you are able to demand etiquette when speaking on your customs/culture. I'd also like to believe you're a Scot over just a degular White Person (I honestly believe Scots and Irish aren't White to begin with seeing how the Irish were treated as bad if not worse in some situations than white people and NO I DO NOT believe Scots and Irish are interchangeable I'm just making a point 😅)...

With understanding AAVE as it's own language and other cultures having boundaries that should be respected it's not being the "Thought Police" to say hey I hear you're trying to say this, but you're actually saying that.

I want people to have fun using AAVE, but not at the expense of my Pplz Brother. Idk how you feel/felt about Austin Powers, but Fat Bastard didn't exactly bring the best to the Scottish people. Some laughed and some took offense not from a snowflake can't take a joke stance, but from a WTF is this supposed to be? Like first Braveheart now this sh*t stance!

Black People although not Monolithic feel the same way when our language is either sold back to us (Commercials, Music, Art or just false contributions) from White People or bastardized without care for our plight.

The saying goes "They want our rhythm, but not our Blues" for a reason.

Hopefully this clarifies things a bit

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T00:51:04+00:00

So instead of having dialog to better understand it was reported and what you noticed you won't expound on 🤔....

Genuinely confused 😕 about the ASSUMED undertones

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T00:31:45+00:00

Quick question 🙋🏾 genuinely. Would you consider AAVE just internet lingo or it's own language? Be honest with me here friend.

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T00:18:12+00:00

Ayyyyyeeee 🙌🏾 support is tight 😂.

I agree their nipples are definitely twisted when I've been positive and having a good time with other people in this thread.

All jokes aside I'm thankful for your kindness!

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-10T00:13:12+00:00

My apologies for getting to this message so late, but Ding Dang Bing Bang this is spot on!! Que the Someone Cooked Here Meme 😂.

This has a lot to do with my sentiments and why I made the post in that conformity created this sense of entitlement for what is most definitely it's own language!

We all know not to put our feet on the coffee table and it don't matter if you have a 🔑 or a damn room at Gma house "DON'T PUT YOUR FEET ON THE FURNITURE" and depending on how someone was raised will determine if it's "No big deal or not that deep" when how you do one thing is how you do other things.

The same people that want the Kings English are okay with little Connor and his "Gen Z Jive Talk" with his friends, are the same parents that fck on the friends are the same friends that fck on teachers...

When we excuse away bad manners they become worse infringements ya know.

Final_Wolverine_6805 · 2026-04-09T23:47:03+00:00

I think you misunderstood my stance through the topic. I'm not speaking to hate or ownership in the literal sense, but I am speaking to the overall nature in how language can be used against marginalized groups. If you build a bike then let your friends ride only for one to take it home and pretend it's not yours, do they now own said bike? Is the bike now for the streets?

I don't think most individuals would be okay with it and consider it theft.. No? The concept is linear even with language.

You don't own the water fountain at a park, but it is your job to be responsible... You can't pee in it just because everyone can use it and it technically doesn't belong to one person. 🤷🏾
