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

**MyK** · 09-20-2005, 02:22 AM

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.

(That's honky for he really needs to calm down).

**Dale Mabry** · 09-20-2005, 07:25 AM

Why he be trippin'?

**THEUNIT(XXL)** · 09-20-2005, 07:43 AM

He is such a stupid mofo!! he's lucky not to come over here! I'll show him some slang!!!!!!!
He's Jay-Z's slave so he needs to shut the fuck up with his bullshit and he should not akt like he's anything at all, because he sucks ass.
Here for any one to use a new avatar!

**Dale Mabry** · 09-20-2005, 07:51 AM

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.

Yes it is

**Dale Mabry** · 09-20-2005, 07:57 AM

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.

He says, "I dink honky sucka's is allowed t'say 'blin''. Dey is allowed t'say old-farm brother slang, likes 'hottie' and 'homie'."

"Actually, ah' do not dink dat (honky sucka's) is allowed t'use slang until it be at least some year old. If ya' say some slang wo'd too early, it's likes youse tryin' t'be brother. So's as long as de slang be a little played out, youse all baaaad."

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

KANYE WEST needs to lay off the crack pipe.

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

**19-chief** · 09-20-2005, 02:20 PM

fuck'em.

**min0 lee** · 09-20-2005, 02:27 PM

This guy is ignorant. I can't wait to hear what he says next.

No, I say that shit all the time about Wayne Brady.

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

**Fujiama** · 09-20-2005, 02:53 PM

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

@Pepper
That's right, he would. But that's never gonna change. So we gotta get used to it.

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.

Peep this holmes...

*In white voice*

I don't allow other people's ignorance as an excuse to be ignorant myself.

*Back in ebonics approved tone*

Cracka

**THEUNIT(XXL)** · 09-20-2005, 04:24 PM

No but by not letting them know what they are doing wrong they will not be able to correct it, and then I will have to kill them so I'll try this first( I don't want the coppers at my door again) (say that in ebonics approved tone)

**Dale Mabry** · 09-20-2005, 05:03 PM
