A video story about this silly trending word, "6 7" and what it means. It has nothing to do with white supremacy or Ebonics. Though, there are some trying to twist this curious word into something "racict". It's not. It just a word.
In America this word "6,7" popped up among the kids and at first, the grown ups and other clueless folks began to wonder what it meant and how it got started. It is just a word.
"6 7" (also written as 67 or six-seven) is neither racist slang nor an Ebonics term.
It is a simply a silly viral anamoly, a nonsensical internet meme and interjection popularized by Gen Alpha and Gen Z on TikTok and Instagram Reels. The term originally stems from a rap song by Skrilla and is often associated with basketball star LaMelo Ball, who is 6'7".
It generally has no fixed meaning, serves as a generational inside joke, or is used similarly to phrases like "maybe" or "so-so," frequently accompanied by an up-and-down hand motion.
It was driving parents and teachers crazy.....and annoyed many older siblings
