Trezeguet :
You make lots of really strong points and I do agree for the most part, especially with the overarching message. Would just like to add that many are moving away from the term 'MLE' and towards 'Black British English', which reflects the vast majority of its influence stemming from black people and its usage being more so UK-wide rather than restricted to London (Other people on here and elsewhere explain it better than me). I feel that distinction is important in this discourse.

I've spent a lifetime being the only blk woman. School/work/the area we lived/friends. Yes I'm a booky nerd🤣 who loves Beethoven as much as I love Buju Banton😁I was told I speak White🤣😂act white, I didn't Understand it and therefore didn't take it on. However I watched a video of a blkw who stated in the vid she was probably the "issue". When she spent time with blk people her thoughts were "ghetto/behaviour" etc Their thoughts were "shes snob" etc. Her take on Blk people is born of her circumstances, and I get it that its different but today world has made it a "Thing" whereas I think it should be a "YOU" Thing. I'm personally glad she saw that her reactions to their actions was born not of discrimination but circumstances of her upbringing. Her not being around blk people growing up has caused her to segregate herself from Blk People's Spaces, she's then become uncomfortable in their space which in turn has caused her thought patterns. Vicious circles. I think this happens alot when you spend time from your culture. I LOVE the fact I come from two worlds and am very comfortable in both. 🇯🇲🙏🏾💃🏾uk

I think language is also redundant argument as well. I think multiple truths can be true.

I used to feel this as a teen but as I grew up I realised I was ostracising myself and realising there’s no one way to be Black

You hit the nail on the head - it does all come down to language. I grew up in South London and I don’t usually adopt MLE in my language as an adult but it truly depends on where I am and who I’m with. I grew up with predominantly black people and went to a predominantly black school however my interests varied whether it be music, hobbies, etc I refuse to ‘other’ myself because I know there’s communities of black people that are probably like me. Also, I see the other hand because this applies to white people who usually speak black British English getting accepted into those communities that ‘other’ black people never get a chance to. It’s a lot to unpack but overall we aren’t a monolith.

Multicultural London English, I looked it up 🤣 I choose to look at this from a different perspective. Try looking beyond our skin tones or even colour. We are not a monolith like several people have already mentioned. We are Soul having a human experience, a black British experience to be precise. Each Soul is unique no two are ever the same; then to try and generalise a whole race of people seems absud to me. Be your authentic self and your people will gravitate toward you, then have tolerance and acceptance for those who are different. I have friends from all races and social backgrounds. Thank you for your insightful post.

This is very true. I was born and raised in South London with a predominantly black primary/secondary but never adopted slang or the working class cultural behaviours, because I was only really around black kids during school hours. I wasn’t able to go to their spaces outside of school. When not in school I went to many different enrichments where I was the only black person. From the ages 4-16 i spent all my free time in Weekend Theatre school, swimming, extra tutoring and 2 musical instruments. I never had the physical time to be around my own community. So once I got to university I felt very ostracised when I was around black people who only ever bad black communities. I was told that I was not allowed to sit with them because they don’t understand my interests and they have nothing to talk to me about. But now that i’m 26 I prefer environments that are black. But once again there are no black people around me.

Interesting, I grew up in inner London and I speak MLE but I was also too soft spoken for some black people I went to school with, and I was othered because of it. And having quirky interests didn’t help.

I'm a black British man (29). I wouldn't say I don't feel accepted by the black community. But my personality and interests makes me indifferent to the concept of one (in my case I lack a genuine connection to Jamaican Brit culture). My indifference is because: my leisure interests differ to most black peers, autism, queerness, my philosophical leaning, being atheist, being childfree for ethical and political reasons, as a child, non-black peers wanted to be friends with me more than black people and because I was partially raised by loving white people, so I have experiences most black people cannot relate to. P.s. To be clear! I do not support or engage in anti-blackness despite everything I've expressed!
