Podcasts about Ebonics

Years ago, there was this big craze or "discovery" of what was called Ebonics or Black Slang. Well, first of all, its not new. For many reasons, enslaved people chose, out of resistance and as a way of holding on to their cultural identity, to create and speak an indigenous English based Creole language.

He wants something better than a webcam, but, without all the complexity of a DSLR.Maybe we don't want ChatGPT speaking in ebonics after all because AI seems to make the same racist decisions based on dialect as humans do.Police seldom disclose the use of facial recognition when used to identify suspects and often lie about its use in public-facing reports.

Being assertive and taking risks are typically viewed as masculine behavior reserved for men. But our friend Maya (from Chicago, IL) thinks that there's no reason women can't display the same behavior. In fact, she believes that women will be much more satisfied with their lives if they chose to do so. — This episode will give you a chance to hear the Chicago accent and the Ebonics dialect of American English.Timestamps:0:00 More women should be doing this1:20 A quick word from Tony Kaizen2:44 Shoutout to my supportive listeners4:02 Explaining the vocabulary29:53 Replaying the video31:15 The same idea, in plain English32:39 Things to considerFor access to transcripts, PDF study guides, and bonus podcast episodes, subscribe on Patreon!

In today's episode of the Divested Diary, I had the opportunity to delve into a topic close to my heart. As a black woman myself, I wanted to address the issue of the "ghetto personality" and its impact on our lives. Before you jump to conclusions, let me clarify that I am not here to perpetuate stereotypes or belittle anyone's experiences. Instead, I want to shed light on the importance of embracing proper English and communication skills for our own personal growth and success. The origins of Ebonics, or African American Vernacular English, can be traced back to the era of slavery. It was a way for enslaved individuals to communicate in broken English as they yearned to read, write, and integrate into society. They sought equality and recognition, not by holding onto their African roots but by mastering English. This historical context is crucial to understanding the significance of language in our lives. I want to clarify that I am not demonizing Ebonics or suggesting it is inherently wrong. It is a part of our cultural heritage; for some, it comes naturally. However, I personally do not speak Ebonics because it was not a part of my upbringing. Through adoption, I was fortunate to have parents who emphasized proper English pronunciation and grammar. They understood the importance of effective communication in navigating the world. As black women, we face unique challenges in our careers. There comes a point when we outgrow entry-level jobs and crave intellectual stimulation. We desire conversations that resonate with our experiences and aspirations. However, when our grasp of the English language is limited, breaking free from the confines of low-paying jobs becomes difficult. We inadvertently limit our opportunities for growth and advancement. I want to emphasize that this is not about conforming to societal expectations or assimilating into a white-dominated culture. It is about empowering ourselves and expanding our horizons. When we can effectively communicate and articulate our thoughts, we open doors to higher-paying positions and positions of influence. It is about creating a future where our past or our language does not limit us. I understand that the "ghetto personality" can be entertaining and even celebrated in certain contexts. We enjoy watching comedy skits or listening to rap music that embraces this style. However, we must recognize that it has its limitations. Unless we plan to be niche rappers or entertainers for the rest of our lives, we must consider the long-term implications of holding onto this persona. I want to challenge the notion that being educated or speaking proper English makes us less black. This harmful stereotype has held us back for far too long. We should not fear judgment or rejection from our own community for aspiring to be intelligent, well-spoken individuals. Our ancestors, like Harriet Tubman, fought for our freedom and equality. They envisioned a future where we could thrive intellectually and contribute meaningfully to society. So, my fellow black women, let us embrace the power of language and communication. Let us shed the limitations of the "ghetto personality" and strive for excellence. It is time to break free from toxic cultural expectations and create a future where our voices are heard and respected. Together, we can redefine what being a successful black woman means, one conversation at a time. Thank you for joining me on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Until next time, remember to let go of that ghetto personality and embrace the limitless possibilities that lie ahead. Connect with Sharika:Twitter: @SharikaSoal84 Divested Diary Website  Join the Movement at "Divested Diary: Empowering Women's Voices."Are you ready to make a difference?

I am excited to delve into the thought-provoking topics surrounding black culture, relationships, and the need for open and honest discussions. In this episode, I address the concept of divestment and its significance for black women.Divestment, in this context, refers to a conscious decision made by black women to distance themselves from the financial, physical, emotional, and even sexual abuse prevalent within their community. It is a movement that challenges the focus on black men who engage in criminal activities and the expectation for black women to support them unquestioningly.The statistics presented in the episode shed light on the harsh realities black women face. The Institute for Women's Policy Research report reveals alarming rates of violence, psychological abuse, and rape experienced by black women. Additionally, black women are disproportionately affected by murder, with the majority of perpetrators being individuals known to them.The divestment movement aims to shift the narrative and prioritize black women's and their children's well-being. It encourages black women to put themselves first rather than being burdened with the responsibility of supporting men who perpetuate violence and crime. Divestment is not about abandoning all black men but rather distancing oneself from those who exhibit toxic behaviors.It is essential to recognize that divestment does not imply a rejection of black culture as a whole. There are undoubtedly positive aspects of black culture, such as the celebration of natural hair and the emphasis on skincare. However, it is crucial to acknowledge and address the elements that promote crime and predatory behavior towards vulnerable individuals.The divestment movement extends beyond romantic relationships. It encompasses a rejection of toxic cultural norms that perpetuate aggression, intimidation, and criminality. It challenges the notion that being black is synonymous with being ghetto or speaking in Ebonics. Divestment calls for a collective effort to dismantle these harmful stereotypes and create a healthier, more empowering environment for all.As the Divested Diary podcast host, I am committed to fostering open and honest discussions about these important issues. I invite listeners to join me on this journey of empowerment, where we can explore the complexities of black culture, relationships, and the need for change. Together, we can challenge the status quo and create a better future for black women and their communities.Thank you for tuning in to the Divested Diary podcast.

This episode delves into an insightful conversation with Dr. Phelton C. Moss and Dr. Jasmine Rogers from the DC Reading Clinic. Join us as we explore why Ebonics/Black Language deserves a central place in the education of Black children and their journey to becoming proficient readers. In this thought-provoking episode, our esteemed guests shed light on the historical roots of Ebonics, also known as African American Vernacular English (AAVE). Delving into its evolution and significance, we gain a deeper understanding of the cultural context in which this unique linguistic system emerged. Our engaging discussion explores the implications of incorporating Ebonics into structured literacy approaches. Dr. Moss and Dr. Rogers passionately present the case for leveraging Ebonics as a valuable resource in teaching literacy to Black children. By acknowledging the importance of their home language, we explore how this approach can foster meaningful connections between students and their learning materials. This episode also analyzes the policy implications of centering Ebonics in literacy education for Black children. As we strive for inclusivity and cultural responsiveness in our classrooms, we weigh the potential benefits and challenges of integrating Ebonics into the curriculum. This multifaceted conversation challenges us to find a balanced approach that honors cultural identities while empowering students to navigate diverse linguistic environments. This eye-opening episode will provide fresh perspectives and insights on the role of Ebonics in shaping the educational experiences of Black children and the broader implications for promoting equitable and effective literacy instruction.

We continue this season's exploration of the ideas, people, and places shaping the future of Blackness.

“Religious skepticism Religious skepticism is skepticism regarding faith-based claims. Religious skeptics may focus on the core tenets of religions, such as the existence of divine beings, or reports of earthly miracles. A religious skeptic is not necessarily an atheist or agnostic. In the confrontation between Catholicism and the Protestant Reformation, Erasmus of Rotterdam used skepticism about our ability to discover religious truth to argue for fidelity to the established church. Historically, religious skepticism has had strong connections to philosophical skepticism (see above). The issue raised by religious skepticism is essential to our understanding of reality, or ontology, as well as to what we deem to be reliable knowledge. Since religious utterances are by nature, in most cases, about that which cannot be known through our physical senses, the question that arises is about the criteria that would allow us to make such statements in the first place. Theological statements will generally be based on belief in the reliability of revelation as transmitted through holy scriptures and originating with otherworldly experiences by holy men and women (founders of religions). Tradition and institutions are also generally acknowledged sources of religious certainty. None of these, however, involve the process of cognition in the ordinary sense; hence they easily become the target of skeptical attacks. The challenge can come from skeptically inclined individuals. It can also materialize in thought movements and even in the atmosphere of entire periods in history, such as the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, notably in France. A further source of religious certainty is that which can broadly be defined as mysticism and consists in a perceived direct contact with the otherworldly reality. Such claims are experiential, rather than theoretical in nature. The skeptical position towards such claims will generally be to acknowledge the reality of any particular mystical experience, but to explain it away as mere self-deception or as a mental problem. A softer form of religious skepticism would be to suspend judgment based on one's inability to verify the validity of religious beliefs and the significance of so-called spiritual phenomena.” I'll never completely reject the afterlife concepts and the durations of the afterlives are mysterious to me. As a figuratist, I interpret all religions, all religious texts, and all of the concepts of all religions metaphorically, symbolically, allegorically, and metaphysically. Folks in the organized crime world didn't speak well. They relied on “Ebonics”, slang, broken English, and profanity to voice their thoughts. They badly needed Italics, transcripts, and translators for comprehension purposes. Derogatory slurs of all types were used within organized crime in my childhood. Uzi's, road rages, vehicle accidents, bad drivers, gossip, wankstas, smear campaigns, character assassinations, character defamations, aggressive and angry drivers, vehicle crashes, penitentiaries, the death penalty, prison crimes, solitary confinement, traffic court, the owing payments to car tickets, the vehicle killings of pedestrians, entrapments, sneak attacks, ambushes, vehicles being towed, and fatal hit-and runs (intentional and unintentional) were used and were commonplace in organized crime in my childhood too. Jesus is said to have lived, been baptized and was crucified by most scholars, but some scholars disagree with most scholars on those three things actually occurring. They also disagree on why he was baptized and crucified. They argue with each other on why he lived. All of those things cause me intense confusion. As a sex partner (on-camera and in adult films), I'll be learning, growing, and evolving for the better each and every time.)

“You have a bold generation now that you can tap into. Younger people. They are ready to go toe-to-toe with whomever on an idea that they feel passionate about. And a lot of the ideas could help us be the America that we claim to be.” TikTok is becoming the social media home of a new generation of activists, while older folks debate politics on Facebook and Twitter. The rules and expectations are totally different on this newer platform. Nobody has found their political voice or footing more powerfully than A.B. Burns-Tucker.A.B. was a law student when she exploded onto the scene thanks to her ingenious TikTok videos. She explains current events and big news stories, but does so using Ebonics or AAVE (African American Vernacular English). To some this sounds like a gimmick, but A.B. is reaching an audience that has traditionally been ignored by the mainstream media. In this week's episode you'll hear what inspired A.B.'s journey to law school and her path to becoming a TikTok star, and in the process learn a lot about the next generation.You can find A.B.'s TikTok videos @iamlegallyhype.

Language not only defines humans as a species, placing us head and shoulders above even the most proficient animal communicators, but it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries. How did different languages come to be? Why isn't there just a single language? How does a language change, and when it does, is that change indicative of decay or growth? How does a language become extinct?   In today's rebroadcast, I speak with John McWhorter, a linguist from Columbia University. He addresses these and other issues, such as how a single tongue spoken 150,000 years ago has evolved into the estimated 6,000 languages used around the world today, everything from proto-Indo European to Ebonics English in the United States.
