Yep its a camouflage for a lack of power. Paul Mooney had a saying how black folks talked shyt because they had no power so they tried to develop a way of almost pretending they had power with their words.
But as Paul said in the big scheme of things them words really had no power. He mentioned how all day a black person can tell a white person that they were gonna harm them. But the white person knows they really ain't gonna do shyt cause the white person is the one with power. Where as if the white person said they were going to harm you....you know it is a legit threat cause they can kill you and literally get away with it (with state and government behind them).
