Very interesting documentary chronicling the rise of the Bloods and Crips out of the ashes of the Black Panther Party.
One interesting part is when the narrator talks about how he feels that nigga is a dehumanizing word, such as it's easier to say "lets go kill some niggas" then "lets go kill some peoples". It got me thinking, in every war, a common slang word for the enemy has evolved. Kraut/Jerry in WWI/II, Jap in WWII, gook in Vietnam, Skinny/sammie in Somolia, Haji in Iraq, etc.
