Why do some people say "rest in power" instead of "rest in peace?"

[1bad65]

Because they are jealous of a successful man who made something of his life, as opposed to being an online hair weave seller who whines and cries about politics on Internet forums all day.

What's that about?

Obviously you're talking about me since I'm the only one here who uses it. I use it as a sign of respect for a person who made a powerful contribution to the world. May their power continue into the afterlife. And I only use it for black people

never heard the phrase... " rest in power "... before today

I'm guessing it's a new one... that somebody thought was cool, for some reason

Yeah me either? Next be a Tik Tok video with the dead

Phrase meaning that a deceased cannot rest in peace until society changes due to the circumstances of a death.

It's funny watching non-Black people explain to black people what our phrases mean. Straight up hilarious. The internet has made people think they're experts on black culture because they can google some things.
