I’m black but I rarely say it. Why can’t non-black people do the same 🧍‍♀️

it’s that and also they use it like a curse word the same way black people do. not meant to be offensive (but it obviously still is). example: men ain’t shit = niggas ain’t shit

I think because it’s something that is used as a common vernacular by some black communities, adjacent non-black groups will adopt it as an inappropriate form of cultural appropriation. I am suburban and white so I don’t really see non-black people use it in my day to day but I have heard from a latino friend in Atlanta that some Latinos use it way too much.

I haven’t seen white people do it but it sounds like something that young suburban white dudes with a weird obsession about trying to seem street would do.

i grew up in a hispanic town and they 100% say it more than me. i also go to a pwi in the middle of no where and it’s normal for the ppl there to say it.
