nigger/nigga is a symptom of our sickness.
have you seen "antwaun fisher"? fisher was an orphan whos foster mother called him and the two other boys "nigger". she never used their names. to the point where they knew who she was talking to by how she said "nigger". they began to think that was their name.
puerto ricans are just as black as "traditional blacks".
they are our lightskinned brothers.
they speak spanish. we speak english. neither of which is our native language.
we have similar struggles and only when deliberately divided, do we recognize our differences. my god parents are borriquas. i was raised by a puerto rican family as a small child(2-3) while my dad was in school and my mom worked.
my catholic church was black and latino. i gave mass in both languages. i have never felt an ounce of racism from a puertorican... ever.
like skamp said, its when YT gets in between. but YT won't accept neither of us. but doesn't want black/brown unity cause it will be the end of him.
imagine the power of a real black/brown union...
there goes the labor force, culture, and the biggest consumer group in america.
