stay black, white on

marginally racial slurs combined as a phrase used when leaving a place; normally spoken by a person confident enough to know that the ONLY bigotry that makes him its bitch, is the bigotry he allows to himself.

"We need to kick it again soon, bruh."

"Fa sho! I'ma bounce whoadie; stay black, white on!"
