Why did black people stop saying “right on?”

[Apprentice]

Was watching Judas and the black messiah, thought it was mad cool how they version of “bet” or “I got you” was “right on”

In Fight The Power Chuck D said it too

“LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED RIGHT

RIGHT ON”

Why don’t nobody say this no more? shyt cool as hell

Jive turkeys, still say right on Jack.

lmaoooo them shyts two different terms

Jive turkey is more comparable to sum shyt like callin a nikka a goofy

Right on is just like “bet that” or “facts”

Nobody gettin called a goofy no more in 2040

[Scustin Bieburr]

For the same reason why people stopped saying daddy-o or Groovy.

But it'll probably come back. People stopped saying "ya dig?" For a long time and then it came back.
