N- word girl.

Some of you Negroes seem a little surprised and are taken aback to hear that the "Material Girl" dropped the N-word while talking about her white child. You figure that before she got her AARP card she was this hip rocker who the left embraced and therefore couldn't be a racist.






I would like to know why you are surprised.






If you haven't learned by now how some folks view you and how good they are as hiding their true feelings, you deserve to be ridiculed by us in the know every time there is one of these revelations.






"Noooo" you say, "Not my girl Paula. That sweet down home Southern gal who bakes like my mama"?






"No, not the dude who played Kramer. Dude seemed so cool, though."






"After she was bombarded with complaints about use of the N-word from fans, she deleted the image, only to re-upload it with another risque comment. She added, "Ok let me start this again. #get off of my d--- haters!"'




Poor Madonna thought she had a black pass because...well, let's just say that she has gotten more of the black ....you know than most sisters.






"The singer later apologized in a statement, saying, "I am sorry if I offended anyone with my use of the N-word on Instagram. It was not meant as a racial slur...I am not a racist."'




Yeah we know. And some of your best friends are black. We can start the countdown now to one of your black friends appearing and saying that they know what's in your heart and that you are definitely not a racist.




Honestly, I can't wait to see all the black and Latin dancers on your next tour.


















  

N WORD UNCHAINED?

I sure hope that all those crazy GOP lawmakers like Tod Aiken and Richard Mourdock see what they started. This is not good.

So I had a conversation with a fellow attorney today about the movie, Django Unchained. (I still haven't seen it.) She happens to live in a very white area of the burbs and she told me that she took her teenage daughter to see it. The crowd in the movie theater, she said, was almost all white. She then told me that she walked out in the middle of the movie because she just could not take the constant laughter from the crowd every time the "N- word" was used. 

I just finished reading a post from TheRoot which reminded me of that conversation.

"2013 is going to be incredible, if for no other reason than because this will undoubtedly be the year the cultural discourse shifts from simple discussions of "race" or "racism" to the majestic land of "how we talk about and react to race in mixed settings." While ideas of a "post-racial" society are but a single cute step below thinking the world was going to end on December 21 on the "awwww, that's cute" scale, what we are in 2013 is post-"race and things typically associated with a single race existing only within that racial silo." Finally ...

As I left the theater after Django, it was interesting to see how diverse the crowd was, and, based on the conversations being had in the lobby, how they were all impacted in some way, whether it was by the violence or the language or the fact that it was simply a really good movie. I left the theaters feeling oddly proud of Tarantino for making such a thought-provoking film, while feeling the exact opposite way about Spike Lee for not giving Django a chance. I was slightly shocked at how numb I became to Leo's use of the N-word, to the point that I almost started to marvel at the bravado with which he uttered it. As for my "Django Moment," yes, there was the horrible foreign couple behind me that thought everything was hilarious, but mine came from a more unexpected place: the laughter that filled the room when Samuel L. Jackson and Jamie Foxx would say the N-word -- less like we imagine blacks would have in the 1800s, and more like they were two of the four Kings of Comedy ...

And in the world we live in today, where access to various modes of public expression is becoming increasingly accessible, the walls around "talking about race" are rapidly crumbling. Finally. And, just as a heads-up, if this makes you uncomfortable, if the idea of potentially offending someone is your greatest fear, or if you're content to discuss it like a simpleton, then 2013 might not be your year.

This, my friends, is the new apocalypse. Buckle up." [Source] 

It's funny that it should take a guy who got his black card because his mama slept with Wilt to bring on the "apocalypse".
