84. Why The Imus Critics Are Wrong [Archive] - JREF Forum Archive Why the Imus critics are wrong Politics. http://forums.randi.org/archive/index.php/t-79600.html

JREF Forum General Topics Politics PDA View Full Version : Why the Imus critics are wrong billydkid 15th April 2007, 08:36 AM My position on this became clear to me watching one of the news/talk shows this morning. There were several talking head news people discussing this issue - most of whom were black in as much as the desire was to get the perspective of those it is believed were most offended by Imus' remarks. The prevailing view was that we needed clean up our national dialog and to remove derogatory language from the national discourse. It dawned on me while watching that these people have it exactly backward and I'll explain why. There is a reason the use of the "N word" is not offensive to the listeners of rap music and it isn't simply because it is coming from black people. It is because these people have co-opted the word - stolen it from the racists who used it with racist intentions - and drained it of its toxin and given it new meaning. Granted, some people may still find this new usage offensive in its intention, but no one can seriously deny that this new usage carries anything like the meaning and intention of the historical usage. Words themselves are just words. It is the intention behind them which gives them significance. This was suggested in my thread about swear words. If you want to remove the offensive feel of offensive language you incorporate it into everyday language and you take the energy and significance out of it. By quarantining certain words or expressions you are feeding them energy and giving them meaning. It was suggested by those on the panel that by allowing the usage of certain language we are coarsening ourselves and our discourse and we are condoning and excepting to some degree the racism, sexism, the homophobism and so on implied by the language. Just the opposite is true. By adopting the "language of hate" we are nullifying it and rendering it impotent. We are taking ammunition away from those people who really do hate.
