in the black

1. To be pushed out of the mainstream and into darkness; to push someone from the spotlight and into obscurity

2. Existing in a forgotten or lost place, usually due to rejection or failure

in the black

It is a state of a financial success. You will know you are in the black as soon as the ladies come to mate and the nobodies come to hate.

Lady: That's a nice watch watch you got there
Lady: Yeah, it really is
Ryan: Well I am currently in the black
Lady: Oh, that's good to know...
Lady 2: Really good to know...
Ryan: How about you and your friend come up to room 118 later tonight and I'll show you how good it really is to be in the black
Lady: ooo
Lady 2: I like that idea
Ryan: Booya...

Black Black

Black Black: The act of being ghetto to the maximum capasity.

Examples: Snapping of the fingers and hand on the hip when talking about something that gets you fired up.

Elongating the word "Girl" when talking to friends. Dancing in public places that dont have a dance floor. Going to a resturaunt and ordering a Ghetto Champaine (A carona with a shot of grenadine added). Carrying ketchup packets in your purse.

When Kaleena is at a meeting at work speaking to Bartholemule, she acts white black....

But when she is in the hood talking to Whanita and Sharonda about they baby daddys being locked up and not paying child support, she acts Black Black.
