I know, they feel it's disrespectful. But so disrespectful they form a lynching party?

According to John Singleton, it's borderline death sentence for a white guy to call a black girl "b^tch" but kinda funny if a brotha says it. Ha Ha.
Evidence here:
Higher Learning
Boyz n the Hood
Trivia: Same actress Regina King called "b^tch" both times, Ice Cube on both sides of the double-standard. -

No, it's not. I'm a black woman, and believe me,there is NOTHING funny about being called a b****, especially a black one. Monet had every right to go off on that white boy because he clearly MADE it a point to call her a black b****,BECAUSE she was black,and because he was a racist a**hole. -

A bitch is a bitch. Calling her a black bitch is unnecessary. It's like the black part is also meant to demean her even more. I mean, yeah, she is black but there's no reason to call her that in my opinion since he's not black himself. For some reason, that's just how it works. In some black homes, it's okay to say "get your black ass back here" or something along the lines of calling another person black and cursing at them but for others? It's a no no.
I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life. -

What was wrong with calling her a black btch?
Nothing. Nothing at all if a person can handle consequences that may come with it. Nothing. Carry on
Everyone knows Billy was unnecessarily disrespectful to call Monet a black btch. From my pov, what made the situation sky rocket to the highest heights of pisstivity (the state of being pissed off) is the word "black". He shouldn't have taken it there. Had Billy only said, "Put her on the phone btch." It still would've been highly disrespectful and he probably still would've still been cursed out.
But things became toxic when he took things to a whole other level when he said, "Put her on the phone YOU BLACK BITCH." That quickly turned the situation into a racist affair. He made it disrespectfully racial and more intense by adding "black" to his comment. So now, he's not only disrespected women but now, specified black women. That is a No No in an environment that's already tense with racism to begin with. It didn't help to call Fudge and the rest gang members knowing fully well they were students just like everyone else.
So yes, for that "black btch" business, call in the Calvary (at least as far as what this film portrayed). Any person had just as much right to be at the institution as the next and are not going to stand still and be disrespected by anyone and that's especially someone that's considered an equal.
Don't come for me unless I send for you. There is consequence. -
