All black areas associated as HOOD
Why do the bubbie's that live in mixed
or another majority middle class or upper middle class area
associated their peers that live in all black areas as hood. In the
words of the boondocks creator, that is some nigger crap. Aarron
Mcgruder defines the word nigger when used as an adjective as
ignorant action. I would have to agree with this definition when used
in this context of the article.
One should not feel lower then anyone
else because they happened to be in a majority ethinic area that is
minority in the larger society. Yet in America, this is not the
case. For example, if you are educated minority area, it is hood. If
you live in a minority area, it is hood. If you live in the majority
area of the population or educated there, it is not hood. In the
words of Aarron Mcgruder , that is some nigger crap.
It seems that some bubbies are lost and
confused. The reason they are unaware of their confusion is because
the larger society supports their efforts and if they are comfortable
with past expressions or up bringing it is not seen as a problem . A
good case would be the only African American comic strip that is
nationaly published. One my say a token pass for the rest.
