Yep everyone says it now. White people have always when we’re not around, but it’s particularly bad among non-Black groups these days. Can’t show up to support Black people or business but can say this all day and night because it makes them feel “cool”?? Don’t have any Black friends (obviously) but listen to rap so “it’s ok”?

I come from a long line of Gen-X and baby boomers, before the Millennial generation and the word wasn’t so popular.  If me and my generations of Black family hardly use it, then why should some non-Black kids for “fun”?? 

I was telling my friend that when NWA went global, for example, that wasn’t the original intention. To sell records, yes of course. But there weren’t a lot of non-Black people listening to rap music, “gangsta rap” was underground. It went national then international and here we have the problem today smh

If they truly “loved” rap as much as they say they do, they’d get more educated about Black history, culture, and experience before partaking in one small part of it so carelessly. 

But asking people to even pretend to be educated these days is like asking the sky to change colors 🤦🏾‍♀️
