word, nigs.

that just sounds like White People taking control over what can be said by whom- same old story of authority- they been telling others where they should sit on the bus, and where they should build those railroads for ages.








shit, chill out, that was just a joke.




my point is that we've been over all this shit long before, and there's really no point going over the same arguments again and again.

all these discussions of so-called representational politics really don't mean all that much considering they only happen within very particular contexts. Alison i doubt you would raise the same issues of word-use if you were in a Ghetto Project in the States (regardless of what skin tone that person was) just as i would not try to explain the usage of cunt or douchebag to 3rdwave Feminists. so what does that all mean? it means we're always more likely to stage political battles where it's safe, instead of where politics actually occurs- where regular people are "just doing their thing". academics and political minded people have this false notion that they're making these radical political observations and instigating changes when really have little control over the actions everyday people.


if anything, our usage of the nigga is entirely self-reflexive, and understanding of its politic/satirical consequences-regardless of taste (which i think is what you actually disagree with most), it's used as a matter of effect, not of Hate.
