The reason no academic ever likes to talk about the work of Thomas Sowell was because he was the only one who dared discover that “Blaq American culture” is actually just older Midwest white culture that blacks of the 18th-19th century adopted and made their own
Academics talk about how things like Ebonics and cultural habits are from GENERATIONAL TRAUMA and DA STRUGGLE are the reason why Black Americans have a culture that is incogruent with rest of America, meanwhile the way black Americans talk first originated from Cornwall, England
When the American White starts "appropriating" black culture, they're really just taking back what was once theirs
