No that's not true--Rob posted this as a standalone thread (by mistake), attempted to delete it but someone already replied, so now it stands.

In any case, I meant the post at the top of page 8, not the first post in the thread.

Timestamp is 9:26pm, I'm usually soaked in booze by then, so I don't really remember how it happened.

I trust George Carlin's judgement on this subject.

The merged posts really F'd this up.

A) We’ll reclaim the word and use it as a term of endearment and in our art to take away its racist power.

B) We’ll ruin the life of any non-POC who utters those two syllables regardless of context or intent.

Choose one!

[Rob]

I don't see how someone is restricted to one choice.

I hardly think Joe Rogan s life has been ruined.

FUCK ICE

[macphisto]

You really leaned into that one, but swing and a miss.

[Mickey]

Yeah c'mon man, macphisto is definitely not a "closet" racist.

[B]

Jorge is POC he can say it

Plenty of Black people don't think Black people should use it.

Are you really going to make me explain this joke to you.

Sorry. I have a lack of brain capacity.

[macphisto]

I’m glad you’re here, B, and I trust you’ll be taking swift and decisive action against these unprovoked, unwarranted, and fucking disgusting personal attacks.

[Rob]

You're not a victim here, dude.

[VinylGuy]

Yeah c'mon man, macphisto is definitely not a "closet" racist.

If the material of the post is sufficient, seems an appropriate analogy

[E.H. Ruddock]

My good friend used to date the girl who wrote Cunt: A Declaration of Independence. I was spending time with them regularly while she was promoting the book, and I haphazardly began to use the term in casual conversation, wrongly believing myself to be some sort of insider ally.

I got over that mistake by myself a long time ago, but Albini spoke to the issue of misinformed ally-ship pretty thoroughly:

My hunch is that the majority of non-Black people using the word now fall under four categories:

1. The former category I've just discussed
2. Overt racists
3. Closet racists like macphisto and schoolboy
4. People who get a pass because of certain contextual parameters (the BlacKKKlansman example)

FWIW, I think Burt gets lumped in with the first category, because he believes he's being an ally by defending free thought/free speech. I personally fail to see how anyone outside of the 4th group could use the term in good faith knowing that the impacts for Black people are multifaceted but probably 100% negative. The idea that a non-Black person is somehow helping them in their plight by taking power away from the word is one of the more idiotic concepts I've seen on this board.

I’ve reread this several times, even mouthing the words slowly to myself, and I still have no idea what you’re trying to say.

What post?

What analogy?

I suspect in your case this is redundant.
