[edit]Hey would like to talk to you about something pertaining to a page. My # is 310-436-5078 ASAP — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eshybaby19 (talk • contribs) 13:17, 7 May 2017 (UTC) Eshybaby19 (talk) 13:20, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

AAVE
[edit]Do you really need it to be spelled out why the comment is vandalism / hateful speech? The editor unproductively and with flagrant bias:
- Offensively accuses other editors of white guilt, social justice warriorism, and "far-leftist" extremism
- Offensively attacks linguistics and sociology as entire disciplines
- Offensively equates the terms gangsta rap and "antisocial fad"
- Offensively labels an entire group's natural way of speaking "nonsense"
- Offensively (and bizarrely) refers to the dozens of credible and respected authors cited on the page as "some random leftist academic", as if it's all somehow just one source
- Offensively denigrates AAVE speakers as "simpletons"
- Contradicts established rules of the scientific study known as linguistics
- Does all this without a single WP:RELIABLE source for support
This is speech absolutely intended to anger and inflame others: WP:PERSONAL ATTACKS and WP:TROLLing. The entire comment itself is a rant that actually expects no real respectful or open-minded dialogue, already preparing for a backlash of even-keeled critics due to its awareness of itself as a deliberately hostile tirade. And now we're spending time bickering about it. I'm explaining this for your sake because it needs to be made absolutely crystal clear that it's hateful. Otherwise, I'd simply have ignored the issue and recommended that we not feed the trolls. Wolfdog (talk) 19:53, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
- I would like to confirm my support of this deletion (as the only other person to attempt to restore the thread). Whether or not the anon user was being deliberately inflammatory, there is no real opportunity for editors to correct their misguided views and the thread standing without any semblance of validity might untowardly invite the wrong kind of talk page discussion. — Ƶ§œš¹ [lɛts b̥iː pʰəˈlaɪˀt] 20:27, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
