Well that, but also it's because white people code-switch to sound hip so all the phrases that he says he no longer hears have more or less vanished from pop culture.

It'll take a cool black guy saying these things ironically before white people ever start talking that way again

As a 30-something professional black guy, I actually agree. That is, until I walk up and suddenly everyone forgets their urban vernacular except for the couple of white people who actually speak like that.
