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."

No, it's surfer slang.
Okay, I'll agree with that.
Of course, if you're going to reserve the right to use pidgen slang as a means of communication, then I'm going to reserve the right to only hire those who speak proper English.
It's nice to know that some rappers actually have a sense of humor, around limited subjects, albeit.
Can I use albeit? Is it old enough?
He is an idiot! I have never even used the word "bling" and even if I did I didn't realize the word is owed by black people. How stupid. Talk about racism. West is a fool who need to grow up!
The CSIs (all 3 - LV, NY, Miama) are some of the BEST programs on TV. Maybe the best shows, outside of Rescue Me (Starved is also great).
cantIJest is just another black cracker who thinks he writes the rules because of cover provided by NAACP, bigmouth J Jackson and media whore sharpton. The only ones he controls are the weak, carpet crawling libs in the PC media. SCR*W HIM.
Whoop-dee-f**king-doo, Conyay.
Anyone that wants to talk like a rapper clearly is failing the course called life anyway. Let me teach you a white man's expression, suck my ass. Like that? Just don't use it for a year or you're a wannabe.
'a little played out' -- Kayne, YOU are a little played out. What are you and Jesse gonna do, then? Give out Word-Tickets? to honkies? Molon labe.
If you always think of yourself as a marginalized American then you don't deserve a full vote. Half is all you deserve.
So a "homie" is not a homosexual? I am WAY behind on my uneducated ethnic slang!
He's following in Rosie O'Donnell's footsteps. Remember when Rosie was canonized "The Queen of Nice"?
Oops..
sw
Don't axe me.
worthless thread.
What about 'warsh rag' for dishcloth? I'm confused...
Bet he use thu "n" word, too..
I am glad it was not a required subject when I was an air traffic controller. -:)
Dy-no-MITE!
"bling" is one of those words I take a pass on. Hey, you think its okay to still use "poon"? Is the black community tired of that one yet?
Perhaps if he starts touring with Cindy Sheehen, he can squeeze out another 15 minutes.
