My Thoughts

“You go Girl!”, “Bling, bling”, “Da Hood”,” My Boo”, “Fierce”, I would be happy if I never hear these words or phrases again.

I don’t know who told my Caucasian brothers and sisters that these phrases make them cool, but let me tell you ladies and gentlemen, they are old and tired. The only time we should be hearing “You go Girl!” is on the re-runs of Martin and that show ended in 1997.

Now this “Bling, Bling”, this was a song that release in 1999 and like the song this phrase shouldn’t be heard anymore unless it’s on someone’s IPOD old school mix.

White people, “da hood” does not necessarily mean the “ghetto”, it was, and not the term was, also used to refer to a neighborhood, which most of us live in. So please don’t say “da hood”, when you are referring to, especially a black person’s, place of residence because contrary to popular belief not all black neighborhoods are ghettos.

Now my black people can we please stop referring to our significant other as “My Boo”, this phrase was old long before Usher and Alicia Keys made their song.

This last term goes out one person in particular, Tyra Banks everything is not “Fierce”, so please stop saying it.
