It’s called copula deletion, or zero copula. Many languages and dialects, including Ancient Greek and Russian, delete the copula (the verb to be) when the context is obvious.

So an utterance like “you a bitch” in AAVE is not an example of a misused you, but an example of a sentence that deletes the copular verb (are), which is a perfectly valid thing to do in that dialect, just as deleting an /r/ after a vowel is a perfectly valid thing to do in an upper-class British dialect.

What’s more, it’s been shown that copula deletion occurs in AAVE exactly in those contexts where copula contraction occurs in so-called “Standard American English.” That is, the basic sentence “You are great” can become “You’re great” in SAE and “You great” in AAVE, but “I know who you are” cannot become “I know who you’re” in SAE, and according to reports, neither can you get “I know who you” in AAVE.

In other words, AAVE is a set of grammatical rules just as complex and systematic as SAE, and the widespread belief that it is not is nothing more than yet another manifestation of deeply internalized racism.

This is the most intellectual drag I’ve ever read.

10 REASONS WHY WE SHOULD SUPPORT BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES

  1. The profits from our spending help the community where we live.
  2. We build for ourselves instead of helping other races to build where they get all the benefits.
  3. It creates jobs for our people so we don’t have to picket for them.
  4. Spending all your money with people who live out of your community is like building a house on sinking sand.
  5. Business profits leaving the Community hurts the Black Churches, Children’s future, needy, sick, Civic Clubs, and    keeps the whole Black Community in poverty.
  6. Black people can never solve their economic problems while sending all of their money out of the community as fast as they earn it.
  7. Black owned Businesses can not succeed without the help of the Black Population.
  8. The race who does not build is always controlled by those who do.
  9. The future of the Black race will not be built on what we make others do for us, but instead on what we do for ourselves.
  10. Most people in the Black Community who spend their money with the big, white chain stores usually go to the little Black Owned Business when they need help….
