Hey, uh, please don't appropriate AAE.

Edit: Thanks so much for listening to us!

Edit 2: To all the people still arguing about this: Enough! We said all that we are going to say on the matter, if any care that much they should also go listen to black people, research history, language, colonialism. We get it, people don't like their 'toys' being taken away for no reward beyond being a good person, but it's the right thing to do.

It's an established meme phrase, I would be reluctant to call it appropriation at this point. It's just a phrase that's made it into general circulation.

No, it is, it came from AAE, it being a 'meme phrase' doesn't change that.

Online culture is inextricable from american and thus black culture, asking people to not use decade old memes won't be fruitful. It'd be like asking someone with dreads to change their hair to make you more comfortable.
