I really hate the "hotep" meme phenomenon

It's one of the most corny things that have happened, and now I'm seeing a lot of non black people use them. The fact that the word hotep is being used as a pejorative is disappointing to say the least, but now it's a joke of a word. I don't even know where this went wrong; all of a sudden around 2017 or so I started seeing black folk, mostly of the alt left variation, utilize this and now it's gotten out of hand. I just saw a "Hotep Mao" posted on Twitter by one of my favorite follows and it's disappointing...am I reading too much into this?

Thank Tariq Nasheed for that. He started calling people that, back when he first put out the original Hidden Colors movie. Ironically, he’d now be considered a hotep today.

forreal? I never knew that now i gotta check today and see. Nowadays them septum ring wearers fling the term out anytime someone is Black and proud. I can see how it had a purpose because them sa neter niggas in new york was talking about KMT all day and wearing the clothes. But now I wish he never made that shit

Yeah, I’m sure it’s archived in his old Mack lessons podcast. I think he was mad that those guys were bootlegging his movie or something

    Oh I think I remember that! Hotep definitely sounds like something Tariq would come up with too. It’s too clever for Shea Butter twitter. I wonder what Ramses I would think if he heard Hotep was used as a pejorative by niggas in the USA 3000 years later.
