This is easy. All you have to do is hang out with black people. What they’re saying now is what white people will adopt in 10 years. Black people will be forced to adopt new slang, and the cycle continues.
Black people are not biological poets. It’s just that they live in the position to easily see mainstream culture for what it really is because it’s not for them. They also understand white culture through media immersion.
Black people have an advantage over culture and language because they must be bilingual to get by.
You can attribute certain phrases sure, like cap/no cap being from African American centric culture, but were black groups saying 6-7 or skibbidi toilet 15 years ago?
Hell, the slang, “shipping” came from a nerd website about X-Files.
There are no more groups that culturally evolve in a vacuum.
And then you low key disparage black culture by saying mainstream culture is not for them? And that they drive it because they are not in it!? I’m starting to think you don’t actually even understand what culture is.
This is such a juvenile and shallow understanding.

Sounds neat, but this is an utterly trash take.
