There's a limit to how far relieving pressure through shit talk and enjoying comeuppance can go before it gets toxic itself.

I didn't even say it isn't toxic. I am saying you know, I try to be careful about being TOO mad at people for giving back what they got.

Oh true. A little bit of gloating is fine. Hell, I would argue it's natural. But there's a point where it's counter productive.

And if you thought I was accusing you of being toxic, my apologies, that was not my intent, and I'm sorry if I gave that impression.

It's just that my "day job" is working around social workers and I've learned a lot about poverty through exposure, and it frustrates me.

There is a whole different world of psychology with poor people that is alien to folks who've never experienced it.

For most Americans dealing with the poor, no matter what race they are, is as alien as dealing with someone from a foreign culture.

Yes, although... have you found that difference to be lessened at all along racial lines?

by which I mean: class distinctions among black folks are relatively novel relative to the history of poor white ppl in America.

so in my experience, poor and middle class/rich black folks have a little better time relating to one another. But could just be me.

I honestly wouldn't want to venture a guess about class conflict in black communities since I have no experience.

However, having grown up in Mississippi, and have read my history, I can definitely tell you, class superiority is HUUUUGE with white folks.
