   • 1993, Mike Bowen, “Black Intellectuals (was: Re: THE CASE AGAINST RAP MUSIC)”, in soc.culture.african.american (Usenet):

     Dr. Ben gave me a good laugh. As a matter of fact I saw him at City College several years back with his crowd of 'hoteps'. […] He loves to beat up on the black bourgeios and brought a few light skinned freshman girls to tears. He doesn't conceal his feelings about his ostracism and sometimes it can get rather tedious. But if you have a thousand bucks he'll show you the pyramids the way they are *supposed* to be seen, and things will be happy again.

使用する際の注意点

Originally used among Afrocentrists as a greeting, similar to "I come in peace", but by the mid-2010s had come to be used disparagingly to "describe a person who's either a clueless parody of Afrocentricity" or "someone who's loudly, conspicuously and obnoxiously pro-black but anti-progress".
