How many times do men and women in the hood refer to black men as Nigga" yes it is different because most of the time it's said in love and brother hood but it is also often the last word heard when a young man is murdered by another black man. Nigga is not said in love then. Just another dead man laying in a pool of blood.
Females in the hood who are best friends often say "That's my bitch" about each other. That is said in love but calling women we are about to fight call each other "bitches" we fight each other both out of jealousy and for others amusement. We fight some woman and some random man or woman films it. Shows like Jerry Springer has poor people of all races fight.
I have to be honest I was fighting a lot until recently. My friend Carol has been teaching me other ways. I am a lot less angry than I was. I'm tired of all the yelling and rage. So I started living and acting different. Now Carol isnt the first to tell me these things I was just ready to receive it.
Poor whites call each other Trash. Latinos call each other Puta. We all have to stop using negative terms both inter and intra racial. We are all Poor people and if we can get over the anger and rage and stop the self hatred maybe we can get it together and change our lives.
