White people can't use Black slang unless it's played out - Kanye West

BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS
High Quality Supplements For Bodybuilders and Athletes. www.ironmaglabs.com
Hip-hop star KANYE WEST is advising his white counterparts that they can only use certain slang terms when they're out of style for black people.

The JESUS WALKS rapper - who recently charged that US President GEORGE W BUSH "doesn't care" about African Americans - believes that certain slang words should only be able to cross racial barriers when they're no longer in style for black people.

He says, "I think white people are allowed to say 'bling'. They are allowed to say old-school black slang, like 'hottie' and 'homie'.

"Actually, I do not think that (white people) are allowed to use slang until it is at least a year old. If you say a slang word too early, it's like you're trying to be black. So as long as the slang is a little played out, you're all good."

A lot of overgeneralizations, here. With the pop culture of hip-hop, TV, movies, music, and communities and schools often intermixing, and coming into contact with one another, many words and terms and slangs started by one particular ethnic group will be used by others.

Who does Kanye West think he is: a culture czar?

Out of touch.

Dude's gotta chill.

In general I think stars need to shut there mouths about 85% of the time they feel like talking.

I don't think his statement is racist, just ignorant or unnecessary.

How is it racist? He is simply saying that honkeys are trying to be black if they use a term too early. He is not saying that they are inferior in any way, just that they sound like they are trying to be balck. Remember when that ho Madonna moved to England and adopted an English accent, was it racist to say she was trying to be British? Or culturist or whatever the hell the british would be considered.

I don't think it is racist either but had a white guy said something similar, he would be stoned as a racist.

So it's not racist to say that black people who talk exactly like the average white male are trying to act white?

Pepper, I agree with you 100%, unfortunate but true.

That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard. Too much crack, definitely.

So if you agree with him then you would also understand why a white man would also say it's racist to say that, no matter how people are gonna react.
They attack us so we shoot back.
Now I'm not saying that I will yell at some one for using some kind of word that may or may not be the "right" word to use because of there skin color, class or whatever, but if they start shit, I will damn sure end it.
