No. Internet 'culture' stole them from black people. to make themselves look 'cool' without having any connection to or care for the actual meaning of the words from a language that isn't theirs whilst not caring about or for the people who actually created it.
White people have historically and continue to do this and it needs to stop, not everything is for the taking.
Cultural exchange happens when things are freely given, not taken and black people keep pointing out that it and so much more has been taken from them whilst they are left with little to show for it whilst white people continue to use it for fame, power and money.
