"yo" goes back to middle English (before the Renaissance).

it's also been imported into Japanese.

Black people definitely say "yo."

It's possible that it's more heavily used in certain regions, like New York, but yeah.

I'll say this; you shouldn't let one person try and speak on behalf a group of people. People hate being generalized but they sure do like to act like they speak for a general of people.

My roommate is black and definitely says "yo". Not like all the time, but he definitely does.

I probably say it as much as him so I don't think it's a black thing though.

The only reason your black friend probably thinks no black people ever said "yo" is because it dropped out of style 30 years ago. Off the top of my head there was "Yo! MTV Raps" and also the Kid n Play movies where Play says "Yo" every 10 minutes.

OTOH, if any black person is still using it often unironically, they are probably in their fifties. It's definitely slang from the New Jack Swing era.

Nah, he's wrong on that one. Any east coast rap album would quickly debunk that.

There's nothing wrong with preferring either. What I take slight issue with is the guy acting like he knows wassup and speaks for a group of people.
