Are you actually a bigot ? Or just very limited in your experiences with different types of people ?

Reminds me of a old joke…
Adam n eve we’re laying around Eden one sunny after noon when eve asked adam.. adam.. are we black or are we white.. adam shrugs and replies hel ask god next time they’re chatting..

Adam returns one day after chatting with god and eve runs up and asks ..
So.. are we black or white?
Adam replies , not really sure, god was very vague.. but if I was to guess I’d say we’re white!
Why eve asks what did his say?
Well all he said was. You are what you are!

How do you get white from that? Eve asks curiously..

Well adam says.. if we were black god would have said we is what we is 😎

I don't think it's entirely a thing amongst black people but aks is asks in Caribbean patwa which has a huge diaspora across more than one continent and comes from west African influences. It makes sense for it to be part of several vernaculars.

It's the second most common way to pronounce ask, and it's acceptable. They probably heard it that way from someone.

Wow ....... just wow

It's not just a Black thing. It occurs in other populations as well.

Aks is technically not incorrect, in fact, it's the original English pronunciation of the word, going back over 1,000 years, even the first printed English translation of the the Christian Bible in 1535 (the Coverdale Bible) used the spelling "axe" and was not changed to ask until the KJV of the Bible in 1611. For example:

Matthew 7:7 (Coverdale) "Axe and it shalbe geven you, seke and ye shall fynde, knocke and it shalbe opened vnto you."

Matthew 7:8 (Coverdale) "For who so euer axeth, receaueth: and he that seketh, fyndeth: and to him that knocketh, it shalbe opened."

Axe me bout ebonics

people born in/ living in different places speak with different accents

The word "aks" and pronounced "axed" is the original pronunciation of the word "ask" in the early renderings of the English language. Black folks educated in Caribbean islands that are part of the British Commonwealth are typically taught old British English and spelling of words, versus more modern dialects of the English language.

The English language was not invented by the Brits, it was created by the Germans of northern Germany who first inhabited what is today known as Great Britain. Back then, early English was called "Germanic" in ancient times.

I wonder why they stopped naming their children Willie, Calvin, or Leroy. 🤷

Trollin', trollin', trollin'........ Keep that keyboard trollin'.......... from bizzaro world. 😎

Because they didn't pay attention in english class and probably didn't graduate.

More like ax or axe. I’ve heard it too. I heard that on parking wars when the parking enforcement officer was trying to explain the ticket and I was amazed she said I’m axing you. I’m axing you.

Axe, and it's just another ghettoification of another word

There are certain words you cannot say:

For white people it’s the N word,
For black people it’s the word “ask”

Wtf

I doubt it's that universal, but instead a regional accent or dialect effect.
