Hey kids, I hate to share bad news but the racists are here. Still low-key, but definitely seeing more of them in the last several days.

Just blocked one who's doing a year-end rundown of his social media apps like Parler, Gettr, and Gab.

Another block today was a supposed Ukrainian arguing with several Black people and using "pidgin" English in their bio where they explicitly state they're neither Black, nor African.

Not yet overt, but the wave is clearly here.

Be prepared, Block liberally.

@ricardoharvin not trying to defend the pidgin user you mentioned, but on a strict linguistic definition, a pidgin does not have to contain any African roots.
There is for example a pidgin based on English and mandarin that was long used in Singapore.
Just for your information.

And I love pidgins and their transformative process into a full blown language (a creole, then. Also not strictly bound to African roots)
