NEO-black

A person who can freely benefit from the positive aspects of the black culture while not suffer from the marginalisation of black people. In some cases might be the offspring of a culture appropriating figure , who would thus be validated through their interracial offspring.

Neo-Blackface

When people of full or partial African descent, who are not Black Americans themselves, promote or portray negative stereotypes of Black Americans to gain wealth and fame. Especially applies to artists, actors or media personalities that express disdain or animosity towards Black Americans and Black American culture in their personal lives but make money off of Black American culture in their professional endeavors.

Alternate Definition: Exaggerated, inauthentic or disrespectful portrayals of Black Americans by people of full or partial African descent who are not Black Americans.
I never liked Akon and that stupid song "Locked Up"...Akon is a neo-blackface artist.

Did you see Thandie Newton in that movie "Jefferson in Paris"...that was some neo-blackface BS."

So I heard Cynthia Erivo is doing another neo-blackface movie.

Candice Owens is on Fox News again speaking for "Black America" LOL You know...her usual neo-blackface schtick.

I thought DJ Akademiks was straight up New York...turns out he is Jamaican and doesn't really like or respect Black Culture. He's a neo-blackface DJ.

I heard Angela Bassett turned that part down because it wasn't realistic. Guess they'll find one of them neo-blackface actors to play the part.

Neo got my back

An iconic line in the well-known intro song "Intro: Neo got my back" by South Korea's kpop group NCT U; the 1st and main unit of NCT owned by SM ENTERTAINMENT.
Whenever I told my friend that I had her back, she would always reply loudly with "Neo got my back, culture thing, tech tech on my mind" so I searched it up. Turns out it was a song all along and I have discovered that now any phrase can be turned into a kpop reference.

neo got my back

A sentence predominantly used on tiktok by "nctzens", the fandom of the south koreak k-pop group NCT. It is taken from the intro song Neo Got My Back by the sub-unit NCT 127.
Used when for example seeing the number 127 or the color neon green, as both of these are associated with the group.

NeoBlack

A Black person (Black American) that participates in what has otherwise been considered Black culture. NeoBlacks are different from traditional Blacks as they are usually criminals, self-proclaimed victims, disrespectful, ghetto, guiltless and shameless. Politically, they are Democrats and as such, the majority are lifelong welfare recipients.
Look at those NeoBlacks, ashamed of nothing, offended by everything.
