Can I use AAVE if I’m half black?

So I’m half black and Arab but I didn’t grow up in a black neighborhood, I grew up around black ppl but I live in a city and it was a immigrant/poor neighborhood so it was more of a mix of folks.

In high school I started picking up more AAVE because I got more black friends and was in some only black friend groups.

But they are discussion abt the appropriation of AAVE with Gen Z and how it could be offensive, and I’m wondering if it’s okay if I use it? I thought it’s best to ask a more neutral space instead of my friends.

Thank you for your time!

Happy Father’s Day!

I was gonna take a anime screenshot of Mr Kinoshita but it felt weird cause everyone else was manga pics.

I wonder how Daiki and Tamon’s dad look lowkey

As usual fuck Nastuki’s dad and fuck Keito’s Dad.

I was going to do an appreciation post for Keito mom on Mother’s Day but I got busy and forgot TvT
