I don't want to start a whole new discussion, but my brother lives in
southern California and works in south L.A.

This is the way the "gangstas" converse.

You can be certain to hear "the f word" a whole lot more than you will

We don't have to like it or accept it, but I don't think we can close
our eyes or ears to its existence.
