In a candid interview, comedian Aries Spears sparked controversy by addressing language habits and socio-economic issues within Black communities. Spears criticized the common use of incorrect grammar, such as saying “where is you going?” instead of “where are you going,” linking it to a broader “loser’s mentality.” He argued this casual approach to language reflects a lack of ambition and an unwillingness to improve one’s circumstances, saying, “If you don’t try to be better, you settle in.”Spears also weighed in on government assistance programs like SNAP (food stamps), acknowledging the necessity of feeding children but condemning those who exploit such benefits. He highlighted concerns about dependency and “lazy” attitudes, urging individuals to elevate themselves through education and travel rather than remaining complacent.His remarks ignited debate about cultural norms, language, and personal responsibility within marginalized communities.
