Why does this read like you are a white woke person who 'has a friend who is black' so you think that entitles you to an opinion? This is a grotesque display of speaking for black people, which is quite racist.
My gran was black, and my grandad was Gypsy/Jew whose dad's entire family was murdered by Nazis, and I say F.U. over the word ghetto..You are truly ignorant. Actually, a number of these are not rooted in AAVE..pseudo-intellectualism at it's finest. Stop speaking for black folks.
