AAVE is trending on twitter cause black people are over it being apart of mainstream pop culture.
Recently, the GOP’s twitter account tweeted a photo of late Republican President, Ronald Regan, and captioned it ‘Drip King’ this sparked a debate.
There’s something very dark sided about the GOP using AAVE to describe one of the most racist ass presidents the US has ever seen. Reagan hated Black people https://t.co/lf5xpL3AJ6

Many Twitter users are over nonblack people using AAVE against Black People or gaslighting out oppression.
AAVE history
As the popularity of TikTok has risen, so has the use of AAVE. Many nonblack people have been utilizing AAVE in their online content, whether it be as a way to mock Black culture or to create a persona that is both empowering and sexy. While this is generally good, it can also be problematic when non-Black people misuse the AAVE language anonblackd exploit it gain.
AAVE has long been a part of Black culture, and nonblack people need to understand its roots and how to avoid using it offensively to Black communities. However, as the popularity of AAVE has grown and people are gaining more exposure to it, there is a growing concern that digital blackface and other forms of cultural appropriation have impacted AAVE.
AAVE & Twitter
The popularity of AAVE has risen because it has been a part of Black culture, and it has become a form of slang that is very popular on social media platforms. While it can be a form of internet slang, it is still considered offensive for nonblack people to use AAVE as their slang.
Why Nonblack People Are Using AAVE
AAVE is seen as ghetto or an undereducated form of vernacular when Black people use it compared to White adjacent people. Many non-black people use it to seem cool or even monetize from AAVE. There is miseducation of the roots of these “slangs” in nonblack communities.
Please stop calling appropriated AAVE something gen z came up with. Most of the words on this map came from Black people.
It’s embarrassing how many times I hear my fellow white ppl poorly riffing on young ppl speak and it’s just AAVE, often terms that started w queer Black ppl https://t.co/enO4cnOy3I
