It is very common that young African American adults use slang in almost every occasion that they talk in. Whether there engaging in a conversation with their friends or texting. Slang is often not used in the right way, spelled correctly or pronounced in the correct form. Where do we get this "broken English" from and how come we use it?
The reason why we make up our own slang and words is to be able to communicate with others. What interest make it up is because its in our blood. It has been proven that language was first started in Africa. We figured out a way to communicate with others in a way that we could all understand. Whether it was written in symbols such as , Khemet, which means knowledge and wisdom. Or talking with each other. The sankofa bird and mahat were also very vital forms of communication.
I honestly believe that this presentation was not that interesting. It was very hard for me to stay awake and take notes. It was way too long and I feel as though he was rambling on to find things to talk about. I don't think anyone was very much interested in this weeks presentation. However Dr. Carr is an excellent speaker and speaks very loudly so that no one can fall asleep in his class.
