You don’t use the word Nigger. So, what?
”As Americanized-Abducted-Africans, there’s bloodshed & oppression on any name placed on us. Nigger, Negro, Colored; same thing. The word Nigger isn’t nearly as offensive as the Prison Industrial Complex, the School-to-Prison Pipeline, nor the Crack Epidemic. The values system that the Black ghetto has embraced in the wake of crack & “trappin’” has all but undone the work of Black revolutionaries. The word Nigger never took enslaved people across the Atlantic Ocean subjecting them to a 500-year-long holocaust. I personally don’t use the word Nigger usually, not because it offends me, but because it’s not who we are. To my knowledge, the term “mother f***er” has its roots in chattel slavery plantation rape culture. You don’t see folks up in arms over it.” - a compilation of MC K~Swift’s tweets from this morning.
Hmmm. Definitely something I’ll have to marinade on.

| *overhears something problematic and calls little brother to me* | |
| Me: | What did you just say? |
| Brother: | I told Kristian, I'm gonna tell everybody he's gay. |
| Me: | Why would you do that? |
| Brother: | Because he was kissing the xbox. |
| Me: | What is gay? |
| Brother: | When you like a man. |
| Me: | Well, lots of men like other men. And that's their life. And the way they love. And its hurtful to make an insult out of that. |
| Brother: | Okay. |
| Me: | I'm gay. |
| Brother: | No you're not. |
| Me: | Uh huhn. |
| Brother: | How? |
| Me: | I like other women. Girls. |
| Brother: | I thought that was only Lady Gaga |
| lol. I can't even be mad. | |
