yeah........i dont trip too much when i hear a chicano say it,like i can admitt........i'm from Blood.......and i used to say it on the regular till i got locked up in the county......then i realized it ain't my place to say it,i say ''blood,homes,homie,potna,folks,lok,playa...big pimpin',beana......but i just think it's funny that a gang thats' supposed to be mostly chicano....is going to follow the blacks slang.........i am with a black girl,grew up around blacks........it's one thing to use street slang(yeah,what some consider to be strictly black..but i don't,cause i grew up sayin it)but it's another thing to say ''nigga''........nigga aint a slang word......it's a word blacks use to greet each other....not all mind you,but blacks have been calling themselves that since the white man been callin' them that.........way before gangs and street slang,way before all that.
