Is "amerikkka" part of the African American Vernacular English? Is it appropriate for Marxists and other people to use it?

"Amerikkka" referring to the Ku Klux Klan has always been part of AAVE

We refer to this country as such because we always recognized it as a fascist country that has always been run by Klan members and defends each other while killing us. So if it goes down, it goes down

If siwolism and that circle wants to use our words, that ignorance is on them. English I can understand is forced onto everyone. Same with French and Spanish and Japanese and other colonist languages. AAVE or any particular African Vernacular? No. Black music and entertainment? No. No one forced yall to engage with all of that, so yall don't need it point blank

If you wish death to America, good. So do a lot of us. But you don't need to appropriate African American culture at that. There are plenty of Korean and nonblack activists that made their points clear w/o rapping or using AAVE. Which honestly makes the most sense given that we are all trying to connect with our culture w/o US influence

"But Black culture is so prevalent in Western culture" uh huh yeah funny how that always seems to be the case every part of the world. Just don't use it

Edit: You also don’t need to look at our revolutionary movements either

It really sucks when a barista at the little stand you get breakfast from most days of the week who you normally have a good vibe with is shitty about a homeless person right in front of you and now you don't even wanna get your coffee there.

What the hell does soul power mean, maybe I'm just a faggy girl but I can't figure out what a lover with soul power implies

yknow i love transmasc/tboy dirk always and forever but the way some ppl treat transmascness vs transfemmeness in HS's narrative........kinda sucks. like the whole thing about how being transfeminine is a literal transient experience and lets the character in question (any character) truly escape the oppression of HS's narrative-as-a-character which is patriarchal and toxic (lord english, hussie-the-character to an extent. i guess. idk ive seen a lotta ppl lump SI-hussie in w/ this), which is great and does hold weight as an analytical lens esp with how hussie irl is nonbinary. but where does this leave transmasc characters. why are we treating (headcanoned) transfemme HS characters like this and then tbh gleefully dooming (headcanoned) transmasc characters to eternal narrative suffering brought by LE and then mocking them for being ''gross tboys'' full of ''icky testorerone'' so its their fault theyre in this perpetual torment really? because they ''''chose to be a man''''? dunno man its starting to feel bad. especially since some bnf's who are really into this fan theory do actually kinda treat the general idea of transmasculinity like somthing to hold with tongs at arms length away from them. as if its alien or infectous or something and then get really mad when equally dysphoric transmascs do the same with feminity. why are we dooming dirk strider to eternal toxic-masculine suffering and what does that say about how we treat real life transmasc folks both in and outside of the fandom
