Word in question: Conversate

  • April 8, 2022, 8:07am

Hmmm...
So few participants in this conversation are acknowledging the elephant in this particular room:
It's been noted in [only] a modest number of comments that the use of the word "conversate" is, though not limited to, perhaps particularly prevalent in, our African-American communities.
Could it be that some of the [what seems to me to be especially great*] ire "conversate" seems to strike with some people might possibly, maybe, perhaps be a tiny bit, in some modest way, somewhat indicative of...

...underlying racist tendencies?
Hey, not saying that's necessarily the case. I'm certainly not accusing anyone of anything -- nuh-uh, not me, no way.
I'm just...
axin' the question?

.

*then again, I haven't looked at any other threads on this site. Maybe the ire level isn't actually disproportionate?
