"Ain't" is "used in some varieties of Black English" according to Webster dictionary. is this offensive

i think that line should be removed and is offensive."Ain't" is "used in some varieties of Black English" according to Webster dictionary. is this offensive
Is it true? That is the question you should be asking. I am not saying it is true, but if it is, then why does it matter if it is offensive or not?



Saying "slavery was bad" may be offensive to some (very, very few) people in the south, but does that mean we shouldn't say it?



Since when did not offending people become more important than the truth?
I think the term "Black" should be better defined. Aint is a word often used by the English Cockney and often in the United States. Black may not mean a race. For isntance, in the UK, a "Black Mood", means to be brooding or depressed."Ain't" is "used in some varieties of Black English" according to Webster dictionary. is this offensive
ain't that right."Ain't" is "used in some varieties of Black English" according to Webster dictionary. is this offensive
Considering "Black English" or "Ebonics" had been pushed to be taught in schools for a time, I can understand that comment being there.



I don't find that statement offensive. It is not derogatory towards blacks. Although, "ain't" is quite popular where I grew up, and blacks made up less than 5% of the population there.
I think you are extremely oversensitive and need to find better things to do with your life.



If you get offended that easily I suggest you go live in a bubble so nobody can hurt your precious feelings.
It is strange that they attribute that to Black Americans. Dictionaries don't arbitrarily add words, they have a specific amount of sources that must contain the word to prove it is used commonly enough. It is possible that the majority of sources for "Ain't" are in Black American discourse/literature.



"Black English" would be appropriate if Black English speakers use that particular dialect disproportionally to all other groups.
Why should that line be removed because it is offensive, it is not offensive it is merely wrong as white Londoners use it all the time so it should just say "London Slang" rather than "Black English".
Its not true. I don't think "ain't" is subjective to any one race in America. How absurd.
i've heard plenty of southern whites say it as well.... are you still offended ?
wow. no its not rascist. i would say its accurate.
