Ghetto Archives: AAVE, Black Studies, and Music

The Absolute Ghetto

In Episode 3, Sadé and Malcolm discuss a few of the products of Black ingenuity that are salient and inspiring to them in their everyday lives. The cultural impacts of African American Vernacular English (AAVE), the Black Studies movement, and innovative Black music styles, namely Jazz and Hip-Hop, are highlighted. But with impact comes imitation, and not all imitation is flattery... Because apparently Black people don't "have a lot of emotions" now??? (*cough* Post Malone *cough*)
