Slang is just one of the many ways we make the mainstream our own. Peep this video to see some common New Yorker terms

Evidence of Black brilliance is everywhere you look — from pop culture to art to architecture and more. Give us an adverse situation and we'll rise from it better than before. Our creativity touches every facet of existence and has done plenty to color our everyday conversations.

Tune in to Black Card Revoked Thursdays at 10P/9C on BET. Be part of the fun as we enjoy a game that's for our culture from our culture.
