I do not care what you think, Shep. When you call decent men "house slaves," I am gonna think you are a Negro, with a miserable, whining life that is frozen in the 1950's. I will think this about you, whatever your color. But since there are blacks like Dipy who constantly whine against other blacks, calling them the worst names simply because these blacks have joined or have sought to join the rest of us, I especially have them in mind.
Fancy it: there are other people in Bush's administration who are as loyal as Powell, but Dipy never called any of them "House Slave." He did this only toward Powell because Powell is black and yet he is not a negro. So it irks Dipy to no end to see real blacks who have completely left him in the ghetto. It is racism, pure and simple-- singling out the black guy with a racially charged insult just because the black guy is not living in the base way he wishes him to live. Powell has a right to live his life as he wishes, and he is living it quite well in my opinion. I reject his views on many things, but the fact is, the guy represents America better than any Democrat ever has. Indeed, he does it better than almost anyone I can recall in recent memory. Calling this man a "house slave" is just being a friggin' racist negro and I will not sit quietly and just let it happen. You act like a friggin' negro around me, I am gonna call you a friggin' negro.
So you see, I did not mean "Nigger." I meant exactly what I said. The word "Negro" is highly abrasive as I use it here. It also refers to the pre-1960's, and, unlike "nigger", it is not taken as so much an insult that it obliterates the effect I wish to create here. After all, my use of it caused you to first question it (a thing you would not have done had I used the word "nigger.") And your question has now allowed me an even higher platform from which to express my opinion. |
