Ya know, I’ve been reading and listening to all kinds of fancy footwork various black leaders engage in when asked why it’s okay when black hoppers engage in N-word and HO-word gymnastics, and why Imus has been flambed for the same offense.
I’ve even read “explanations” of why this is on MBs with a lotta offended blacks.
I still can’t figure it out. The closest they’ve come is that it’s a black thing, and they’re offended by whites asking logical questions (blacks don’t have to answer to whites about anything.) I never could figure out how blacks could NOT be offended by their own community’s use of the N and HO words.
But then, I never believed that anyone is an automatic member of a group based on their pigmentation. Apparently this groupthink is a huge issue among blacks (leaving the individualists screwed and forced to shut up by other blacks.)
Any thoughts on this? Or explanations?
