There's a growing discourse over who deserves or gets to use the phrase "rest in power".

I have to be honest, the term is kinda stupid. I mean, I get the sentiment. They want to honor people who have died because of systemic oppression or aggression from racists. But Power is not a resting state. It's like saying "Relax in High Energy." If they're going to change the P to Power, they need to change the R to something other than Rest. Like, maybe they could be "Remembered in Power." ... Copied to Clipboard!

I can see both perspectives on this issue. While the origins are uncertainsome attribute it to the passing of a Filipino street artist while others claim it was prevalent within the black community prior to thatlet's set aside the debate and focus on the appropriation of black terminology. Far too often, terms originating from the black community are distorted beyond recognition when they leave the community. One glaring example is "woke." Initially, "woke" signified a heightened awareness of systemic racism. Now, it's broadly used by those on the political right to dismiss anything they disagree with. The term "haters" has undergone a transformation. Originally, it referred to individuals who had unjustified animosity, seeking to dampen others' spirits for no reason. Today, it's applied to anyone with legitimate grievances or criticisms. "Karen" was once specific in its meaning, but as it went beyond the black community, it has been appropriated by certain individuals on the right to attack women who express opinions differing from their own. --- If you say I am wrong, then prove that you are right. ...

There's this sentiment that non-Black folks should not use certain words reserved for the Black community out of respect for their boundaries. I kind of get it since we've largely taken a lot from Black culture while rarely ever giving back to them in return. --- Miss the old GameFAQs politics board?

The idea of being able to racially claim certain phrases seems pretty absurd. Even setting aside the apparently less-than-clear etymology, the nature of language and culture is to spread and adapt, and believing you have the right to claim and control phrases seems somewhere between delusional and unbelievably entitled.

This feels like something straight out of the late 00s-to 10s. I don't like the phrase myself, but what exactly is the harm in other groups using it and why are white people specifically being called out when they're not the only ones doing this? Regardless, it's a few nuts on the internet and it's sad that people with agendas can use them to stir up shit.
