This is why I want to learn🙄🙄

Just sad, they had one job🥴😒

Ik a bit of sign language and I was saying what she said in my head and I see, I’m from Texas but I didn’t see the captions so I was rlly confused

ikr like bruh I learned those signs my first year of ASL class 👁️👄👁️💀

I was looking for that as I follow her and that be the best part of her flavor like Texas ain’t up in here. Bc we are

I think ASL was a more heavily planned language. Whereas BASL is a more organically formed language.

@Faizaan Naseem Typically, a deaf person will just ask for clarification if they don't understand what is being said. BASL and ASL are similar enough for that kind of miscommunication to be reconciled pretty quick.

@Faizaan Naseem would think it would be no different than two people from different areas using a different word with the same meaning. Seeing as it's been around since the 1800s, I'm guessing it's worked out fine.

@Faizaan Naseem Even within ASL, there can be so many different ways to sign individual words, sentences, grammatical structure, and more differences like using your face and mouth....so there's always a little bit of adjustment needed when two people from different backgrounds sign to each other. It can be different countries (American VS British sign) or even different states, cities, friend groups, etc.

I’m Australia we is Auslan. They can still communicate with Americans using ASL

@PƐRSѺNA SLATƐS A common grammatical aspect of AAVE is *deletion of verbal copula* "This means that in some contexts, the word "is/are" can be left out. If you think this is "lazy grammar," speakers of Russian, Arabic, and Mandarin would like to have a word with you." It's a recognized dialect of American English, typically used in black and African American communities.

@PƐRSѺNA SLATƐS no, I said it correctly. If you use the platform tiktok you know that it's a popular saying.

@PƐRSѺNA SLATƐS you've never been on tiktok i see😹 we are just fine on tiktok😁

@@itsjaclyn239 "Popular on Tiktok" means it's popular on Tiktok. Outside that bubble, who knows it? Anyone?

@@markmandel6738 Literally so many people. It's not like her sentence couldn't be understood, it just had a dropped verb (a super common deletion)

Nice to see this as your first comment, AGREED!

Yes! I'm just teaching my newborn sign language and came across this. ❤️

😢 for real you have read my mind darling

I wonder why they left that out.

@@lunisic My name is basic too. My grandmother chose it because it was easier (you know what I mean). Majority of black people have a % white or other race mixed in them. Stop the colorism.

@@lunisic not all light skinned black people are mixed. You must be a child or obviously not a black person at all because this is common sense.

@@lunisic bruh

Our resiliency in the face of so many racist obstacles astounds me and makes me proud.

@@kristineilochi4615 Preach!

For sure! If they teach ASL we might as get the opportunity to learn different dialects too!

we (not americans) don’t speak an asl dialect. every country has it’s own sign language.

Theres also "Plank" or Plains Indian Sign Language (PISL), which is even older then ASL or BSL. Still used and taught.

@@mylabot that’s so cool!

Because of *racism.* You can say it. Dead racists won't come out of their graves and drag you down with them if you do. I promise.

@@BrotherKnowledge. I was screaming at "hard circumstances" LMAOOOO

It doesn't. It's as fake as institutional racism in modern society. Just a way for rich old white Democrats to keep people of color mad.

@@jrivers0005 lmao alright sure

@@theembersinside1420 I was literally taught about linguistic variations of ASL among black communities at the college level, including a class discussion with one of our lab professors, a Deaf black man. The variations can be minor, but may have greater distinctions depending on overlap with other factors, such as age, geographical region, and gender. Slang exists in ASL, and occasionally may have some overlap with BASL, but a cultural dialect and slang are two different linguistic features.

@@RavenBells so is there also Asian ASL too? Hispanic? Native American?

@@mrnoobie2541 Short answer: yes. There is Japanese Sign Language, which is different from American Sign Language, both are different from Korean Sign Language, Egyptian Sign Language, Spanish Sign Language, Brazilian Sign Language, and the multitude of signed languages used for hundreds of years by the indigenous people living across the North American continent

What is CSL?

@@karenholcombe2000 Chinese Sign Language! :)

I loved this show. Too bad they stopped it

@Brèagha if that’s how you feel about, I respect that. Either way, I’ll still have some sort of pride for the folk that look like me. It’s all in the name of love from my view. Enjoy your day or night.

@Brèagha UH HELL yeah everything about US is better TO US. I felt hyped watching her sign as a black hearing person signing in a way that I could comprehend more. Why hate when WE happy bout OUR OWN culture??? Why hate when through all the BS we went through we (black diaspora) are still thriving and created our own alternatives in this wicked society.

Not just the "seasoning", but a number of different signs, as is very very common in dialectology.

@Brèagha why are yall always so bitter? Let people have pride for their culture and respect it and move on.

@Brèagha it's a fact that BASL uses more expression, larger signing space, more two-handed signs, etc. For many, those things make it more "interesting" than typical ASL

You’re the kind of person who will fix every grammar in your comments for fear of being “bullied”. Even your cartoon screams, “am I woke enough?!”. Sad

Thank you I was so confused But isn't it kinda racist

@@hootenhuggybear You ok man?

Difficult to understand...

@@stark537 how?

Amen!

I’m here bc my asl teacher is assigning it to us

@@yewbellend again , read the comment i never said they couldn't use it

@@_Zane__ read the comment again and slowly

As a white person, I saw this shit, and I was "word? Brand new slice of black culture to appropriate! That's where it's at!"

You are absolutely right. I was trying to follow and all those cuts made it super difficult

Visual cues are GREAT for sign language videos, they mimic sound of words or beat in background..Yes it was pretentious but the Hand signs for single and double with the green echos were GREAT CUES! Andy Maneo ASL music video uses them WAY BETTER

Huh this is such a great point I wouldn’t have thought of 🤦🏻‍♀️. And why it’s so important to have minorities part of the producing and editing of content that is intended to educate others about minority groups.

I'm just a hearing ASL student lol. There are some signs that I recognized and other structural similarities but it's also quite different. There are differences in signs, as she explained in the video, and there was noticably more use of her non-dominant hand than I would expect to see in ASL

I am a hearing student but most of the deaf individuals I am friends with know more than one way to sign the majority of the words they use regularly. It's necessary if they want to enjoy media created by deaf individuals with different cultural backgrounds or travel regularly. Hearing people who speak English usually learn at least some of the words and idioms used by English speakers in different parts of the world. I was born and raised in Southern California, but I have learned idioms and words used by the Brits because I watch a lot of BBC. I have relatives in Oregon, Minnesota, North Carolina, and South Carolina so I know the meanings of a lot of their favorite idioms. My maternal grandfather was raised in Mexico and connected with other Spanish speakers when he moved to the U.S. when he moved here so I know slang used by Mexican Americans and some used by immigrants from other Central and South American countries. Given the fact that hearing individuals often become somewhat familiar with other dialects, it's not surprising that deaf individuals would know more than one dialect of a sign language.

I too I’m hear but can sign , there where a few signs that was Completely different like the history and when she signed children and family but everyone that it was pretty easy to understand sometimes families that are non-speaking have their own dialect

....exactly...i took up ASL because as a gay black man i use my hands a lot and wanted to take ASL to affirm my gay ideation more...oops my teacher was gay...and he took up ASL for the exact same reason....LOL ....so as you can well imagine we had a BALL....i took 5 semesters of his class....we would get so intense with it that the actual deaf people in our class could not comprehend what we were signing....it's actually an exchange of energies....it's metaphysical....when i communicate to my deaf friends and co workers they understand perfectly...however you observations are correct...keep on learning ASL....and be FABULOUS WITH IT....put that SEASONING ON IT....HOWEVER YOU DO IT....

@@corneliuswashington-zr2kfI love the way you put that. I’m just imaging two men so deeply entrenched with what they’re saying that other people are just looking on dumbfounded And I love the bit about the metaphysical exchange of energies. You are absolutely right about that!

Problem with people is they don't like blacks having there own culture or ways of doing things that they dont have nothing to do with, so they have a negative view on it.

@@M4A1MA5TER That ain't it, cuz. It's coz of wokeness and critical race theory. We live in a world where everything is offensive, everything needs to cater to BAME, and where anything the white folk do is evil. So people see this video and instantly assume it's part of that crap. It's a shame because, once you actually watch the video and learn about BASL's history, it's pretty interesting.

@@Mr_Saxon I don’t understand a word of that😅

@@Mr_Saxon "Woke" = "anything racists don't like"

same i LOVE it

It’s funny cause it’s more honest o

BASL or BSL? Black ASL or British Sign Language? Which are you talking about?

BSL is not BASL

@@jakeprice9031 that’s my point. I want to know which language @mylabot are talking about.

Same here, please let me know if you find out how to learn BASL.

Interact with Black deaf people who use it

@@Idonotknowyou330 to be honest I actually don't even know any deaf people. I live in Baltimore Maryland and we'll have to find access to deaf people within this covid-19 pandemic when I feel a little more comfortable with my level of ASL.

I took ASL years ago in preparation for a career in healthcare. The course never mentioned this... at all.

@@Idonotknowyou330 I've been looking here in VA

Yeah, this is my first time hearing about it too! 😑

French and British ASL are you dumb?

@@andreso6987 probably lmao

First I am hearing of either...

I did as well, and we did study the history of sign language rather in depth. This comes with the range of knowledge that there are many dialects within ASL, SEE, and PSE. I remember learning about schools for the deaf and blind for colored children, but never were we told BASL was on official form of sign. All due respect but I feel this is a bit disrespectful to other POC whom may have their own dialects within ASL.

the video playback settings offers options to play at .75, .5 and .25 speed. Maybe that helps c:

My former neighbor was LatinX its thru him that i became familiar with that piece of heritage. Idioma con Piment .

yeah it. was intresting

Very interesting 😃
