Ask Epic Beard Man (EBM) anything.......Within reason

[Jumi]

Have you studied any foreign languages?

Just got done listening to your songs. Really really liked Never Let Me Go.

Did you like Rogue One? I thought it was kind of refreshing to have a Star Wars film that wasn't about the Jedi for once, even if the movie was a little rushed for it being a self-contained side-story.
I really like the idea of Glover as Lando for the Solo movie but I'm really not feeling the guy playing Han himself. I guess we'll have to see.

Well Never Let Me Go is a slow song but those of us that like Luther it's a classic...but Rogue One was cool. The ending was sad (yeah I cried so what). I have to see the movie for myself but honestly this is not the star wars I remember as a child. It is different.

I'm assuming you are black from your picture...

Can other races use the N word as a term of endearment? I don't know if that is "within reason," though...

They already do

Sorry, I don't mean to just ask you a question based on your race.

I was just curious.

I live with a lot of black people who speak in Ebonics, the word "nigga" is more often used in a way that is not an insult, and sometimes synonymous with "hommie" or friend... I have however heard the same word used in anger during a statement about or toward someone that is highly critical like "you ripped me off nigga"!

However, the vast majority of the time I hear the word used to describe someone or greet someone, it is a friendly greeting or statement that is not meant to be the slightest bit rude, critical, insulting, or offensive.

So, @Epic Beard Man
In your every day speech, would you be more likely to say "I'm finna crash at my crib", or "I'm going to go home and sleep"?

Do you speak in Ebonics?

If you had children, would you be more likely to call the mother of your children "my babymama" or "mother of my children"?

This deserves a tom cruise meme I like how people think black people talk "ebonics"

I speak North American slang if you mean that......When I am around my peers yes I speak a different slang but no not ebonics and no I don't talk like that. I actually articulate myself correctly in real life.

 

[Epic Beard Man]

@PopeADope I really speak like this around my peers

I've lived in ghettos and jails throughout my life, I know plenty black people who speak in Ebonics.

It's been a very common experience for me throughout my life. when I lived at St Luke's Mission of Mercy in Buffalo New York, speaking in Ebonics was very common.

I currently live in the Twin Cities, with a lot of homeless people and the poorest of the poor, and they speak in Ebonics typically.

It is an observation that it is very common in these circumstances

 

[Spiderman]

I hear words like "baby mama," " y'all""nigga", "finna", and "crib" "dats wassup" all the time.... it's an everyday occurrence at the Dorothy Day soup kitchen and the Catholic Charities Apartments, and you hear it all the time around and in the stores nearby.

These are all wonderful examples of how black people really speak. Now can you please give us examples of how us white people really speak?

where I live, there's white people that speak in Ebonics as well. However, it's far more common with black people.

My probation officer is awesome, I feel blessed to have him as a probation officer, he's a good friend. He is black and does not speak in Ebonics, my peer support specialist is also black, another great person, she does not speak in Ebonics.

I live in the city with the highest concentration of Somalian immigrants, almost my every weekly cab driver is Somalian, I appreciate their services, they do not speak in Ebonics.

I'm well aware that not all black people speak in Ebonics.

However, where I live, a high percentage of the people are African American (born in America), and Ebonics for them is the norm.

 

[Sunstone]

Do you have any hobbies?

 

[Epic Beard Man]

Yes....working out lifting and watching netflix and skimming through the net

 

[Spiderman]

Sometimes I get approached on the streets and someone tries to sell me something, and the speech and accent is so hard to translate, I can't even tell what they are trying to sell me, I just respond, "no thanks, I'm on probation".

Last time it was "yo, I got some kind gogo, try it before you buy it...Do ya got any squares"?

 

[Epic Beard Man]

Yes I'm boring but hey, I'm 36. I occasionally go to local restaurants and bowling and stuff.
