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."

If you say a slang word too early, it's like you're trying to be black.

What about White People trying to be "Black" by buying his records?

If White People didn't buy his records he would quickly become "Vanilla Ice".

Why would a white person what to stoop so low as to sound like an ignorant idiot?

"Other people think like him and they are actually allowed to vote."

Something has to explain that 49% for Kerry...

[TC Rider]

Didn't Chef pretty much cover this on South Park?

[Joe 6-pack]

"I really don't give a flying ---- what you think I should be "allowed" to do, Kanye"

What an arrogant attitude displayed by Kanye...I wonder who axed him for his opinion anyway.

So we can say "blacks" again, instead of "African-Americans"?

I'm too lazy for that many syllables.

Me thinks Mr West needs to take a long walk, on a short pier!

hey now.. watch what you're saying. by kanye standards, you can't say "git". that would be English (England proper) slang, and you should only use it if you're english.

fyi.. "git" is an insult, short for illigitimate. (bas****)

"Rappers should not use english unless it is Old English?"

Rappers should just speak proper english and quit confusing the children. But what do you expect out of someone with a 3rd grade education.

[HIDEK6]

Can I say "word to your mother"

That would be, "Word to your mama an' 'em."

[HIDEK6]

I'm down with that.

This from the jive diction coach.

"I'm down wif' dat."

[reelfoot]

Not to worry, Bro., this cracker won't be using your slang whether it's of recent vintage or ancient. So go forth and and continue to show the world the imbecile you are. I won't be following.

I believe he was referring to Old English Malt Liquor in the 40 oz. bottle.

Take a walk down the halls of your local High School sometime and just listen. Chances are, most of the hip-hop talk isn't coming from the black kids, but the white ones - wanna-be's, or as they're referred to by some of their peers, 'whiggers'.

My son, who is in High School, just points them out and and laughs, as do I when I see some dopey white kid walking down the street with his baseball cap on backwards and the crotch of his pants dragging on the sidewalk, or tooling down the avenue in his modified rice burner with the fart can on the exaust pipe, thumping out the latest gangsta rap on his 5000 watt stereo.

They just don't have the slightest clue as to how stupid they really look.

Black people decide what is okay for white people to say and do.

You see, in the new America, there are words that only black people can say, but white people better not or they can be legally killed or thrown into prison for hate crimes.

If a black person paints epithets on another black person's door at college, it's a prank. If a white person did the same thing, it's a capital offense.

It's easy.
If you're white. Just shut up.

Ain' no tang.

"If you say a slang word too early, it's like you're trying to be black."

That will be the day...fer shizzle.

[rep_angel]

Free speech for all unless you are white, that is (or at least that is how it seems to go these days).

And for Kanye's information, I don't want to speak the way that they do (ebonics)...so that I sound like a complete, uneducated idiot.

I think that ebonics should be done away with anyway...Quit being lazy and actually learn proper ENGLISH! If the black people (that think like Kanye and others) want the racism that exists to be gone, they need to stop supporting the things that divide us!

[Clemenza]

Hey Kanye, F-ck you cornbread!

[Vision Thing]

Oh Kayne West, thank you for letting us use your people's words. Before your gracious permission, I've been refraining from saying something because I didn't feel I was worthy. However, you've encouraged me to just say it. So, here it goes:
