It's afro American sociolect.
Yup. Sounding educated and well spoken will get you mercilessly bullied in a lot of placing in the US. Here in Florida we call it “crabs in a bucket” because if one starts climbing up the others will pull it back down.
Much of Appalachia is the same. If you don't talk like a redneck, you get picked on. The smart kids with social savvy will learn to code switch.
So we’re still looking to survive bullies rather than holding them responsible for bad behaviour I see. That’s toxic.
Nah, fuck off with your strawman. I was just describing the reality, not suggesting that it is any kind of solution. Holding them accountable would be great, but kids often don't have that option.
No you are not offering a solution, you’re just doubling down on making more problems. And then calling it ‘that’s life’. You are toxic.
How many people who've bullied have you successfully held accountable?
Several and many I just dropped from my life who refuse to own their actions. Cuz sometimes winning the game is not playing it. Stop being a doormat. Stop encouraging others to be a doormat. Stop treating others like doormats. Stop the doormat life.
That’s an explanation about the behavior to bully and harass. not an excuse.
