Book Reviews of The N Word: Who Can Say It, Who Shouldn't, and Why
Book Review: this guy cannot write his way out of a wet papersack
Summary: 1 Stars
The N word. What a controversy! How should the n word be used? As an expletive! I use it allllll the time, because it's the 'worst' (i.e., the 'best') swear word ever! It beats the heck out of the f word. People give me dirty looks (or flame me on my blog or my twitter postings) when I use it. But this is what I think. Somewhere in most people's family history there were family members who were slaves. Sometimes they were called 'serfs' but it is the same thing. I come from Hawai'i, so as long as n ppl are gonna use the n word, so the heck am I! (Foolhardy perhaps, but I used to destroy chem weapons for a living, carry an automatic double-action BIG GUN and won't hesitate to use it, should someone decide to hurt me because I use the n word.) You want the negative power of the n word to go away? Bring it into the mainstream english language like 'paki' (in the UK) or 'lolo' in olele hawai'i and turn it into just another expletive. To have black ppl using it and then getting angry if a white person uses it, just supports my contention that in 2009, racism is BLACKS blaming WHITEs for their own lack of initiative and success. BTW, now that you have your 'black president' (who was raised by his WHITE grandparents and deserted by his black sperm donor), accept this reality: NO MORE WHITE GUILT, PPL. NOW you cannot blame 'whitey' for anything. It's your CHOICE to succeed, or live on welfare and spend it on gold coverings for your 'teef'.
