Response to: Won't You Please Be My Nigga: Double Standards with a Taboo Word

I just finished reading your article written back in May on the use of the word Nigga and the consequences that come along with its usage by certain men and women. I was with you all the way until I got to the last paragraphs where you basically negated much of what you said through out the article.

While you acknowledge the damage this word has and can cause you summarily dismissed this by saying we should not worry about the words other men and women use. I must say brother,,,, our fight is not one dimensional and we should not become like those who suffer from tunnel vision. Our battle must continue to be waged on all fronts and no one speaking up for or on behalf of Black men and women should be silenced or chastised for chastising those who use this vile and evil word.
