What are you thoughts on the Tutanese "language", would you learn it? Do you think it needs to be reworked, and how could the Tutanese language be reworked to make it more feasible to learn and speak?
Tutanese has nothing to do with Tariq Nasheed, so IDK what he has to do with Tutanese. Tutanese has been around since slavery times to teach enslaved African Americans how to speak English in secret, so that they wouldn't get caught learning it, because if they did, then they would likely be punished for it, because the enslaved peoples were not allowed to know the English language.I am not going to try and learn but its not because I don't respect it. Not my lane. However, I do applaud the effort. It seems like Tariq is trying different things to build a solid FBA culture. He's throwing things against the wall in hopes of something sticking. Other cultures, ethnic groups have similar things that is already part of them.
It is good to keep it alive and I hope we pick it up. We have some Tutnese resources on here but only verified can see it.I am not going to try and learn but its not because I don't respect it.

Whether it will take off or not remains to be seen, but I think the intent of finding commonalities for blacks to rally around and call our own is a good thing.
I think we can do all these things at the same time honestly. And a language definitely strengthen bonds between people of the same ethnic groups; it allows for a more exclusive environment so they can speak amongst their own kin. I think it could help strengthen our community more, but it's definitely not going to fix all our problems (obviously).Nope. It's just a distraction to me because if you're off code it doesn't matter what language you speak. So I would rather us focus on moving as a unit and exerting our will first things first. Once we're able to do so and see success the superficial things like languages, customs and courtesies, etc will fall into place. Tutnese is not a replacement or an accelerant for getting on code. my $0.02
Why does it sound goofy to you? I would like an elaboration.I don’t like it shit sounds goofy.
I agree but I feel like the less shiny bells for Black Americans the better. That’s just my $0.02 though. I feel like Tutnese is the awning in front of the window. What good is an awning on a rotted building that’s deteriorating?I think we can do all these things at the same time honestly.

But I appreciate your input.
They'd probably look like us, but be totally against us! We'd have to find a wayvto keep traitors out!I agree but I feel like the less shiny bells for Black Americans the better.

If we can’t strengthen our bond speaking English then it’s a fail. Also learning Tut would have some local exclusivity but best believe the government would have proficient speakers who spied on us.
Maybe 'unifying' is a better word than solid. Again, you can unify over anything and again, I'm guessing he's trying different things to unify everyone.Tutanese has nothing to do with Tariq Nasheed, so IDK what he has to do with Tutanese. Tutanese has been around since slavery times to teach enslaved African Americans how to speak English in secret, so that they wouldn't get caught learning it, because if they did, then they would likely be punished for it, because the enslaved peoples were not allowed to know the English language.
And we actually do have our own "solid culture"; I don't quite understand what you're referring to when you say the word "solid". I would like an explanation if you don't mind me asking.
My personal opinion is that learning it is a superficial action. More important is being in lock step with other Black people around you as you already are. But that's not to down anyone wanting to learn the language.They'd probably look like us, but be totally against us! We'd have to find a wayvto keep traitors out!
I'd truly like to learn & it may be a language we spoke in ancient times. We spoke universal languages, as well as telepathically.
I only heard it spoken by one person and it sounded goofy when he spoke. I may have to research a bit more but when he spoke it shit sounded fake. Sounded like he was talking Sims language.Why does it sound goofy to you? I would like an elaboration.
Whether languages sound goofy or not is subjective, alot of languages sound goofy to other people, like English, but It doesn't sound goofy to us because we can actually speak the language, and we don't put much intention into how it sounds, we put more intention into the meaning of the words.I only heard it spoken by one person and it sounded goofy when he spoke. I may have to research a bit more but when he spoke it shit sounded fake. Sounded like he was talking Sims language.
ToucheI would, but i gotta see commitment from yall first lol
I understand what you're saying, but these languages have nothing to do with African-Americans.No, I don't think it's practical. I would rather learn Swahili or Twi.
I agree, anything we can do to strengthen bonds among our ppl is what's needed ... Whether it's Tutenese, Swahili, etc, we need something ... The current climate has caused is to pull together, but it feels like we hadn't done that in a while ...I think we can do all these things at the same time honestly.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I am very interested in learning the language. I would appreciate you sharing those resources whenever you get the chance.It is good to keep it alive and I hope we pick it up. We have some Tutnese resources on here but only verified can see it.
