Etymology: From Egyptian Htp:t*p (ḥtp, “to be content, at peace; contentment, peace”), a common element of Ancient Egyptian personal names, with the vowels taken over from its descendant, Coptic ϩⲱⲧⲡ̄ (hōtp̄); Ancient Egypt is the focus of several Afrocentric conspiracy theories.

examples: Dr. Ben gave me a good laugh. As a matter of fact I saw him at City College several years back with his crowd of 'hoteps'. […] He loves to beat up on the black bourgeios^([sic]) and brought a few light skinned freshman girls to tears. He doesn't conceal his feelings about his ostracism and sometimes it can get rather tedious. But if you have a thousand bucks he'll show you the pyramids the way they are *supposed* to be seen, and things will be happy again.
[…] and while i'm at it, and i say this out of love for our people, i hope the self-identified “hoteps” and “Pro-Black” people who claim that queerness, trans and nonbinary identities were invented by the west learn from this history and do better […]
At least half of the millenials^([sic]) are alt-right. We have the alt-right and the black Hoteps uniting. Jews are on the run.

As [Virginia] Woolf, a founder of the Bloomsberries, famously declared, human nature changed “in 1910, on or about December 10.” That, she thought, was the day that Victorianism died and a new order arose.
