    A poet wrote a poem attempting to use black vernacular English. The following backlash tapped into a conversation not just about poetry but appropriation at large.https://nyti.ms/2AG624o

        Even innocuous art isn’t immune from the toxic racial politics consuming modern American society. Where is that kinder, gentler melting pot America? Where you at America?

        @nytimes, @thenation You people are going way over the top in your criticism of this poem. Who says "they know you is" is Black vernacular? Describing ignorant speech as Black speech is far more insulting than this poem. "Black" and "ignorant" are not synonymous.

        @Wattree couldn't agree with you more! The assumption that this is a reflection on A.A. speech or culture is more offense then the poem itself #woke

        You don’t see the irony here do you @nytimes @sarahjeong ? Also, there goes white privilege if people can be racist against you w/o repercussions. Or get tagged racist for using black English in a poem.

        Looks like minority races can't use the English language or electricity now.

        Do these people not see the inherent racism in saying, "You can't speak from this place or about this subject, because you aren't the right color."?

        So can white people not sing or play Ray Charles or Ella Fitzgerald next? Is that appropriation?

        Yea, no. We're done with racism as an insult. U made it a desirable quality, by hiring an extravagant racist @sarahjeong , primarily 4, not in spite of, her racism. Ok, then. Racism is good. Essential even. We'll appropriate &'parody' all we like. Welcome 2 Postracism!
