No. Almost everyday, I have white people in professional and personal interactions call themselves and other whites certain words and phrases. They think that I will find it funny because I am Black. I don't laugh and I tell them not to do that around me.
But, based on the "don't do it in the public domain" logic, I should not only laugh but adopt those words and phrases in my repertoire. That'll teach them...right? It's fun to adopt certain words and phrases just for shits and giggles...right?
Nah, the truth is, humans are smart enough to handle things in the public domain that are still not to be adopted. The humans who are not smart enough to grasp that have other things to tackle instead of fighting to be able to use certain words and phrases.
But, keep telling people, and especially white people, that they can use certain words just because they hear it frequently. Keep telling people, especially white people, that it is the fault of the people who put these words in the public domain. I have seen people, including white people, get their asses whooped for stepping over boundaries and trying to reenact rap songs, rap videos, and stereotypes with people of another race and ethnicity. I don't condone the ass whoopings but I definitely understood and found it extremely deserved.
Cool....
