There have been several books on this. Kinda flies in the face of people among the ADOS movement who try to act like we no longer have any remnants of our African ancestry. Ebonics/AAVE came from us applying African grammar style to the new language we were forced to learn during slavery. We still can hear this in our speech today.
I feel like I've argued about this with @xoxodede or somebody else on this forum.

Wasn't creepy at all, it was impressive af and very interesting.
The fact that the South still uses words like reckon the same way it's used in it's original British way, which i still very much a British used word, further proves her point.

I'm still confused by this ADOS movement....im a firm believer in strength in numbers and to defeat these devils we need all hands on deck so I understand the point of the movement but the diaspora is more powerful than just one group
This has been a pretty well known fact for a while now.
In fact, in many movies where a southerner had to be portrayed, they were portrayed by a british actor because they could perfect the old Tidewater accent. The Tidewater accent is seen as the most quintessential of all southern accents and also is the oldest.
For example, Jeremy Irons. With a good ear, you can hear how words could sound both southern and british at the same time.

nikka you is definitely a democrat agentActually it's your "ACL" nikkas like @generic-username and many other black immigrants that tell ADOS all of the time we aren't African and didn't retain any African culture.
So maybe 21 Savage wasn’t faking his southern accent

This makes sense though. I remember as a little boy when my moms watched 'A Different World' I always thought that Whitley was from London or some shyt

Jamaicans retained some. They didnt lose everything about themselves..they use words like 'Nyam'..which means to Eat. Same as its African language origin.
