Is anyone here upset by "Booyakasha"?

The idea that "booyakasha" means "death to the white man" is just a rumor cooked up by racists, just like the idea that "Wu Tang" means "death to the white man". It's a myth. Not true. It may have been used by some people in a similar context, but that doesn't change the fact that it doesn't mean what you think it means. It means "boom". That's it. It's onomatopoeia, and it is not inherently aimed toward any group of people. "Booyakasha" means "death to the white man" as much as "boom" means "death to the gay man". The fact that there's a terrible song that goes "Boom bye bye Inna batty bwoy head" doesn't mean that the word "boom" is by itself homophobic. Similarly, there is nothing in the word "booyakasha" to suggest any racist message.
