Turns out many people have been using “Unc” all wrong. “You’d never know the meaning of 'Unc' or its origins in black culture if you looked to mainstream media, and sometimes even independent media,” Gita Jackson writes for @Aftermath@flipboard.com. So, here’s what it means and how slang terms that originate from African American Vernacular English — “chopped,” “clocked it,” “the tea,” “no cap,” and “it’s giving” — sometimes get miscategorized. Plus, a pull quote that might stay with you for a while: “Non-black people want to take everything from us except the weight of our history.” https://flip.it/4ZmjNe #Culture #BlackCulture #InternetCulture #AfricanAmerican #BlackMastodon
