Why do black people use reflexive pronouns as subject pronouns? They almost always use "myself" when it should be "me."

trying to sound intelligent, they do the same shit here but use big words they don't understand

AAE is more efficient of a dialect.

Wikipedia says

> It is increasingly common to use reflexive pronouns without local linguistic antecedents to refer to discourse participants or people already referenced in a discourse.

I guess it might be evolution of language but it still sounds awkward af.

It's the same thing as (((academics))) using Latin-derived words so as to appear smarter, while neither they nor their listeners fully understand the words so they just nod like dumb turkeys.

They accentuate big words to sound smart and look around looking for approval when they do it. Sam Hyde did a good take on this: "It's da instaTOOSHons dat SASSIAtize da cracka"

LOL, as if the rules of grammar ever applied.
>>138017593
The reflexive indicates something being done to oneself. For example:
"I give myself the best handjobs."
For whatever reason, it's also used incorrectly, like:
"She gave the handjob to myself."
I've also noticed misuse of "well":
"The handjob felt well."

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
