A generalized, broad term that describes societal nonconformists, usually ex-convicts, jobless, unfaithful, "ghetto" dregs, incapable of social graces, commitment or gainful employment: the absentee father/"baby daddy" of unwed mothers, the inmate population, the drug dealers and hustlers on the streets are examples of Pookies and Ray Rays

"Yes, she's an educated woman but she's also an unwed mother; she got knocked up, running with Pookie and Ray Ray in her younger days.

Pookies and Ray-Rays 

Definition - Pookies and Ray-Rays are stereotypical ghetto-dwelling men. They lack ambition; they usually don't have a job or decent income. They probably have felony records for stupid crimes (domestic abuse, petty theft, selling weed, robbery, assault), drug addiction, and multiple children by several women. They have few employment prospects due to their inability to take control of their lives, mainly because they're poorly educated. They lack personal accountability for their problems and cannot respond to difficult circumstances. They are shamelessly low-class.

Who coined the phrase? Popular YouTube and podcast host Oshay Duke Jackson coined the term around 2018 as a funny way to describe low-life black men.

Origin - The term derives from the nicknames of famous movie characters of the same names; "Pookie," the comical crackhead from New Jack City (Chris Rock), and "Ray-Ray," the two-timing crook from South Central (Byron Minns). However, these nicknames were common in many black ghettos in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

"She spent her best year weaving and gelling. Now, she has multiple children by different Pookies and Ray-Rays, but wonders why no good man wants to marry her."

Pookie and RayRay 

An African American man who receives high volumes of attention from women.

Usually the African American version of the term “Chad”. Some would also use the term “Tyrone”, these are terms coined and created by the “incel” and “MGTOW” movements, though this term takes a different approach and is used by followers of image consultant Kevin Samuels. Although Pookie and Ray Ray are usually considered to be convicts, or jobless, some have careers and clean records, although to be considered a Pookie or Ray Ray, one must receive mutual affections from a woman who has in turn, rejected the man naming him Pookie or Ray Ray.

Ex: “She curved me again, she curved me for Pookie, last time she ignored me she was with Ray Ray! It won’t be long before her life is over.”

In this case, the speaker is implying that Pookie or Ray Ray are a threat to her well-being for unknown reasons that he may have falsely perceived, or from a narrative created from his own imagination.
