Because the English language wasn't invented by black people...? It's obviously been influenced by black culture but he literally said "black males invented the language". That doesn't make any sense. Black males have had such a small influence on English that everything that you and I are writing right now would be the same if English had never interacted with black people.

So, people in certain parts of the United States using slang that was invented by black people = black people invented English? Sounds pretty accurate and not exaggerated at all
Again, colloquial language has obviously been influenced by black culture in the past few decades, but what John Green said is extremely inaccurate. Black influence on English may seem large because of pop culture, but as soon as you consider history and geography... John Green is a retard.
White people saying "trap" ≠ black people invented the English language

nobody said black people invented english. the irony of this is you can't even read his tweet correctly.
black people have structured the parameters in which the english language is expressed and therefore understood in daily conversation.
what does history and geography have to do with anything? you'll have to elaborate.

Ok then what did he mean by "White men invented the words. Black males invented the language"?

>black people have structured the parameters in which the english language is expressed and therefore understood in daily conversation.
Black people have structured the parameters in which the English language is expressed? You're not even going to specify which countries? Because in Australia less than 2% of our population is black, yet the conversations we have with Americans don't seem too different from the normal conversations we have.

>what does history and geography have to do with anything? you'll have to elaborate.
In history, the English language didn't change more than it normally does when black people interacted with it. Unless you want to attribute every change in the English language since the 1800s to the African American population, then you'd understand that the actual influence that black people had on the English language is proportionate to their literary/academic/lingual presence in English speaking countries. They weren't very influential at all.

Meritocracy isn't real ffs.
Do you really think some people are more valuable or skilled than others?
Promotions/awards should go to the most victimised and oppressed candidates and not any 'superior' candidates because they don't exist.
The idea of 'superiority' is literally just a social construct used to oppress marginalised communities and has no base in reality.
The only honourable thing to do when making a decision benefiting others, is to make the choice which best considers the needs of the most oppressed ethnic and sexual minorities.
They literally deserve it more because they have been held back their whole lives.

I'm not him but a more reasonable alternative to what he said might be that rap and black culture has taken the spot metal and hard rock had a couple of decades ago. The rock side of music kind of abandoned drug abuse and partying and that heritage has been taken by rappers. Except that at least rock tried to pretend to be a rebellion against the establishment whilst rap culture is 100% consumerist and perfectly fine with pop culture and whatnot. It might an ideological coming of age or a regression, I'm not really sure...
