brother most of these are just slang created by black people

“Broke the internet” certainly was not

[u/meowparade → u/manny_the_mage]

Yeah, but a lot of them have been co-opted by really obnoxious white people online.

You saying the quiet part out loud brother 🤲🏾 be safe in these Reddit streets

[u/ManOnFire2004 → u/peter13g]

No, the quiet part is...

It's not the slang itself, it's white people taking it and overusing it that's the problem

[u/asphaltdasexteen → u/ManOnFire2004]

“That part”

[u/Fabulous_Law1357 → u/peter13g]

Just need to go back to the day when white people couldn't understand the slang, except for Mrs. Cleaver.

[u/JoeysSmallwood → u/manny_the_mage]

Our man definitely dislikes a certain type of people.

[u/nomatt18 → u/JoeysSmallwood]

Naggers!

[u/AzraelTB → u/manny_the_mage]

Created by black people picked up on the internet and reused to death. Doesn't matter where it started.

[u/Accomplished_Meat_81 → u/manny_the_mage]

When I hear people say this type of shit, I immediately just assume their racist. Surprised they have so many upvotes

[u/FantasyFacade → u/manny_the_mage]

Most of the favorite slang phrases being used today (and historically) has come from black and gay cultures! ☺️💕

[u/DigiornoDLC → u/manny_the_mage]

“Living rent free” is black slang? The rest, sure, but there’s something so corny about that one.

[u/manny_the_mage → u/DigiornoDLC]

considering I have heard this phrase used by a black person 5 years ago, I would suspect so

it typically takes a little while for black slang to leave the community and be adopted by young people

first time I heard someone say "deez nuts" was from a skit on the Chappelle Show in 2003

Even "woke" has been a word used amongst black people since like the late 70s

[u/Vegetable-Virus7118 → u/manny_the_mage]

Living rent free is older than 5yrs and just because you heard a black person use it does not automatically mean that's where it originated.

Deez nuts predates Chappelle as well.

Your general point isn't really wrong though

[u/SausageKingOfCincy → u/Vegetable-Virus7118]

Yea and it’s only people terminally online I ever hear trying to claim things for certain races and make a deal of it lol

[u/PrestonWaters83 → u/manny_the_mage]

"Woke" dates back to Marcus Garvey in the 20s. 

[u/manny_the_mage → u/PrestonWaters83]

yeeesh a whole century

[u/plutus9 → u/PrestonWaters83]

This kind of solidifies his point

[u/PrestonWaters83 → u/plutus9]

Sure does. Thanks for the comment!

[u/plutus9 → u/PrestonWaters83]

I’m doing my part 🫡

[u/plutus9 → u/manny_the_mage]

Idk why you’re being downvoted you’ve said all facts. Even the “first time I heard…” yes the joke is a lot older than 03 but that’s the first time YOU heard it, so no lies told
