A manufactured street code for continued white supremacy. As used in common speech, could also be phrased, "keeping it submissive" or "keeping politically, socially, and economically irrelevant."
African-Americans (especially men) who have evolved into greatness through traditional paths are invalidated as they have not "kept it real." The term's definition relegates and caps many potential great African Americans through peer-pressure, advertising, greater social misunderstanding, and ambiguous racial identity.
The phrase is harmful in that it not only damages the collective psyche of a large portion of the American populace, it also limits (in all facets) the unlimited potential that this group could have upon the country.
"Thurgood Marshall, Barack Obama, Bill Cosby, Oprah Winfrey, Morgan Freeman, Booker T. Washington, (Sports Analyst) James Brown, and Condoleeza Rice are not keeping it real."
"50 Cent and Michael Vick are keeping it real."

A man that does not wear a shirt. When ordering food from a local restaurant they will order a meal that is capable of feeding no less than 50 people, paid in full by another person who will never taste this epic meal. The meal will only be eaten in locations deemed manly enough for consumption. Areas may include municipal gazebos or the top or oil tanks.
If ever faced with a possible encounter with law enforcement a real man will immediately seek out the nearest barbed wire fence and position themselves on the top in an owl position facing the barbed wire. Once law enforcement is within eye contact distance the real man will drop their shirtless body from the fence making no effort to avoid or protect themselves from the adjoining barbed wire.
If ever questioned about the resulting and extensive damage to their shirtless body the real man will default to blaming a friend or co-workers cat, falsely calming it is a savage.
A real man always communicates via epic quotes.
1.) A Real Man: βReal Men Donβt wear shits anyway!β
Audience: *Silence* as everyone takes off their shirts
2.) A Real Man: βIβm not getting caught by no fucking cops for eating Mary Browns on top of the oil tanks with no shirt
on!β
Audience: *forever traumatized by barbed wire fences*
