According to "If Black English Isn't a Language, Then Tell Me, What Is?" Black English is a language developed out of brutal necessity.

Explanation: In "If Black English Isn't a Language, Then Tell Me, What Is?" by James Baldwin, Baldwin assesses the importance of languages - he prefers to recognize dialects as complete languages because it is tied into an entirely different culture and way of life. He states that Black English formed out of necessity - slaves from different tribes needed to communicate with each other, and later on, white people had no interest in educating them unless it benefited them somehow. He saw Black English as a way of survival, "There was a moment, in time, and in this place, when my brother, or my mother, or my father, or  my sister, had to convey to me, for example, the danger in which I was standing from the white man  standing just behind me, and to convey this with a speed, and in a language, that the white man could  not possibly understand, and that, indeed, he cannot understand, until today."
