..........Don't make me a Hater:
Definition of a Hater: Someone who is jealous or envious of another
Scene: Some chic from accounting, 24 year old black chic wears a tacky ass ghetto short short hoochie mama dress to work. Obviously she gets some looks from other broads to which she says "Oh they just hating on me".
Scene: Usher (the rnb singer) on a recent interview when asked about his sagging album sales and lack of male fans says "Oh they just a bunch of haters"
Usher....bro....I'm not hating on you. I just hate you. OK that's a bit strong I don't hate you, it's just your ego is SOOOOO huge, I feel like you are already your biggest fan. I can't compete with that. Frankly I will save my $13.00 for an artist that needs it (I'm talking to you Lil Mama)
Somehow in popular culture the term hater has become this generations "Not" or "Sit on It". Its not possible (especially with my friends I'm around all the time, ya know black folks? I believe the proper term is "colored" people) To simply not like something someone has on, or to not like a song or artist who is hot without being labeled a "hater".
A friend of mine recently got fired from a job for excessive tardiness. His wife was like "why those people hating on my baby like that?" Shit like that.Gets on my damn nerves! Hater is one of those all encompassing words that sounds very hip and can be used to avoid actual conversation or debate. Sorta like when people say "And what not" (I hate that as well)Yes I'm a "and what not" hater.
So when super short skirt hoochie girl said "Y'all hating on my dress" it was a way of avoiding the fact that she looked a mess. Actually I ended up telling her "I'm not hating on you, its just your skirt is so short I can see your labia!"
The term is still applicable in certain instances but is seriously on its way out. Think twice before using.

When I was teaching, I had this student. He liked to bite and throw chairs - in the second grade. One day he threw such a fit that it took three of us to restrain him until the campus officer could come and cuff him. The fit was over the fact that I asked him to do his math worksheet like the other kids.
His mother's initial reaction - "Why you all hatin' on my boy?"
Ok? See? I really hope you said "I aint hating on him I just hate him!
