Spike Lee sucks but the ghetto blaster scene with the Puerto Ricans is an all-time American classic. Talk about a racist, Spike Lee is the archetype.
Thats not what he meant......what he meant was that , if someone called you a neiumph, and it didn't bother you....you probably are one.
To isolate the effects of class, vs. race, let's remove race for a moment. How does a person feel when someone of their own race, but of much higher "station" (money or prestige, take your pick), criticizes or insults them? They might be hurt, and/or they might fight back, ala, "you're no better than me!" Or the reverse case... the insulted party would probably say something like, "pffft, look who's talking."
Really? So ok...I'm white...If i walked up to 10 strangers who were also white and said "Was up, my nigga!" I guarantee it would bother at least one or two of them even though they are white. So that makes them one if they are bothered by it?
