    Liberal writer Neville Croft, wrote "[A] new hate word is increasingly being used by the alt-right. The word 'y'all' is the most recent addition to their ammunition of hate and has already sent many unsuspecting persyns [persons] of unidentified gender identities into horrific seizures and panic attacks."

    He added: "y all' is a southern hate word that evokes all sorts of grueling, racist connotations. Just thinking about it makes me feel nauseous, in particular, have faced an onslaught of harassment by bigots using this word."

    https://leadpatriot.com/common-southern-slang-now-deemed-racist-by-liberals/6376/

    I doubt words describing southern whites like 'Bubba', 'Redneck' and or 'Cracker' don't fit into Croft's definition of racist slang.

    I never considered y'all to indicate racism but it did remind me of village idiot. :)

    Y'all yesterday, y'all today, y'all tomorrow, y'all forever. If you don't like the little word y'all then don't use it. If you don't like someone saying y'all then you need to get a life.

    That's interesting, I've noticed 'y'all' being used a lot by the woke Left as with this piece:

    you're just feeding into the poor, discriminated against white male fear ... put your big girl panties on ...

    I see there’s a lib out there who wanted to call the Atlanta Braves team name racist but someone else beat him to it, so he came up with ‘y all.’

    libs, please, please, please name a person, place or thing that is not racist and never will be.

    Where I am from in the North, if there is a group of men and women, somebody would say "what are you guys doing?", which is clearly grammatically incorrect by virtue of the group including women.

    In the South they would say "what are y'all (you all) doing?" which is in fact grammatically correct.

    As goofy as "y'all" sounds, I have to admit that it actually is a far more proper statement than "you guys". Be careful whom you call village idiots, as the term may be more applicable to you and your dialect.

    I do start a lot of threads that are simply ignored by leftists or ignored by lame street leftists that shine light on their un-anti American policies and speech. This cancel culture cancer (including this type of CRT nonsense of calling everything racist) and as seen from the OP brought to us by lefties across the nation needs to be exposed as the destructive filth that it surely portrays. I could list thousands of similar acts by the lefties that call anything associated with we white people as being racist in nature. But surely, you don't want me to bore you with listing those factual memes of the race baiting nature of lefty America, do you?

    To me goofy sounds stupid and that's where my comparison to village idiot comes from.

    You know what’s funny about this? Ignorance.

    The southern accent and many of the words are derived from Africa and the Gullah language. In the south the young were often raised by Africans and that influenced the dialect. For instance poke as in poke salad is an African word for bag.

    So in effect the article is denigrating the African influence of English.

    There are different dialects across the country, and each has certain words that sound goofy to the others. So I suppose we are all village idiots. :)

    I heard someone from the north call more than one person "use". That is worse sounding than y'all.

    Many languages have plural versions of "you" that differentiate from the singular version. Why shouldn't English? Y'all, Yous, or dofferntiating "you" and "thou"... Why not?

    Cac Ban (Vietnamese), Vous (French), etc. Why shouldn't we do the same in English?
