I guess i wonder if this is racism since 1) it is done by the same race 2) it doesn't make blanket assumptions about everyone in that race.
to me racism means judging someone based on the color of their skin. ie since he is black he is a junkie. this is a case of black people unhappy with one of their own and using common terms within the black community to describe this guy. Is it silly? Yes it is stupid. Is it racism? I don't know.
