White people should avoid everything having to do with ghetto culture.
At the same time, I don’t know why any black people would claim this as their own, but many do.
Not only because it can only get them in trouble but because it makes them look silly and stupid. Whenever I see some white kid in oversized clothes, pants down to the knees, untied $500 sneakers and ballcap worn backwards, I want to laugh.
Some young blacks see the use of that term as part of their
‘private language’. Bro to Bro sort of thing. But ever since Eminem and even harmless Vanilla Ice, it’s been too late for that pretense of exclusivity. Rap has been mainstreamed for a long time. In addition, Rap steals (aka appropriates) from other cultures all the time, because it’s own structures are rather weak and shallow.
