When someone wants to debate the use of the N word that tells me all I need to know about them. This is not about free speech, newspeak, or cancel culture. It’s about white supremacy and its demands to dictate harm and its impacts.https://twitter.com/DanaGoldstein/status/1364228283424997376 …

Im confident that there are plenty of black people who engage in debates on the appropriateness of using that work in music. But I guess we dont count as "someone". Centering whiteness as the people worthy of critique, but not black people? That tells *me* all I need to know.

No reply? Cant say Im surprised. Those who are the most vigilant gate keepers of the N-word & how to "protect" us from having to hear it are also the ones who invest the least amount of time working thru the inherent contradictions that come with protecting our right to say it.pic.twitter.com/c0a4HSUECr

I’m not sure what you want me to say if it’s not clear to you why racial position and and racial power matter. You should also be aware that I don’t owe you a response. I listened to what you had to say and I disagreed.

I never said you owed me a response; I said Im not surprised that you didnt. And bringing up position/power are nothing more that red herrings to divert from the point: I dont have to justify why my hearing that slur is offensive, regardless of the race of the speaker...

...any more than I have to justify why it's offensive to hear it from a white person. But you know darn well you'd stick up for me as a "victim" in one case, and not the other. Bc apparently, my sense of being offended is lessened when position/power enter the mix.

You actually don’t know me or what I would do. Thanks for trying tho.
