In some ways, the ressurection of this issue is one of personnal disdain to me , because I think the dayum word (if you can fathomly call it that...) is an abomination from Hell and should be nuclear annihilated and stricken from all hu(e)man existance.
And I also know that some my fellow brothas and sistahs are within there own "pace" for their pursuit or lack of an Afrikan Centered Perspective (or moreso the true ancestorial Afrikan utammawazo and if one has seen this word, then you know where my attempted Universal thought is trying to go--it's a telapathic thang). And I know, summa us havta still discuss this "word" for cathartic reasons...
So given how I view this MAAFA-ic blasephemy, IMHO, I truly feel, extremely strongly that Randall Kennedy, J.D.'s smut, I mean book, has now enable those racial terrorists to further pervert a psychotic concept that was only developed by the ramblings of criminal schizophrenics who genetically design this pornography back in the early 16th century--I had to make these aforementioned statements so I could call on those who have
REALLY RESEARCHED OUR-stories!!!
The fact is--it don't matter if you livin' in an air conditioned house--it is STILL HOT when you in Hell livin' as the Damned... And that goes to say, that I don't care what version of this "word" is used, that folks who are continually using it for whateva reason are STILL WRONG!!! Negros and Caucasoids!!! And just like I am using the word "negro", my choice of word would be "Acunte'"--or KiSwahili for "cotton picker"...
I personally feel, with extreme prejudice, that some of the discussions I am hearing in the laity, academia and corporate culture are this IGNORANT CONCEPT entertaining the idea for distinctions of this "word" MUST stop!!! Stopped, because OUR inherent Afrikan cultural asili is closely tied to the Universe and the Spirit... And deep down, most of us here have ALWAYS felt a "connection" to our ancestorial past, present and future... And when one begins to pray about it, would we really want to be calling our Creator such a blasphemous name? Especially when were using such ignorance within our "temples" and homes? Then,
my deductions would be, those who perpetually flattulate such "offal" are nothing more than idol worshiping Acunte'istic Devil worshippers
and that to me is why I choose to remove the "word" from my reality and revulsed by such an evil concept...
And for Tahitian3,
Your point about using "alternative" racial "epithets" that allegedly are just as hurtfull with that--that "word", you are exactly correct, "those" kids as described, probably wouldn't have been broken up with other profane words! I completely agree!
And Exquisite5,
A point on the article you posted, did the author's say anything about why the teacher should have been protected from a word hurled at her? I am just asking for clarification.
And Kitten03 and for everyone
I have chosen to refrain from identifying with that Smut by Randall Kennedy (and to think it comes outta Harvard). So, I do not have the time nor the desire to waste my precious time trying to comprehend that kind of insanity. And I know for some people here my credibility is questionned

, but if folks read some of my posts around GC, they would realize that I strive for an Afrikan Centeredness, partly based on remaining spiritually heathly and fit... And so, just like "I must be fed milk for I'm merely a child in the Lord", current I am incapable to relate to such perversions without more Spiritual "armor". I hope everyone can maturely empathize and respect my thoughts I choose to share with you today. If not, you can PM me and we can discuss it in further detail.
Peace, Akeerah and Ashe
