I have to disagree, I’m a 56 year old white female and I have an apostrophe in my name. You said 40 years ago maybe for African Americans, it is quite popular yet I like to think my mom invented it

Okay, and? She didn’t. Keep that white “we did it first” bullshit to yourself.

Grow up. While I agree, Ton'yas mom didn't invent the apostrophe, there is no need for the white "we did it first" bs. It would be far better if you took a different approach to letting someone know that maybe their life experiences are not the "first ever" usages of something.
