(Anonymous) 2012-03-18 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)"My intention was never to say that him using the n-word in the interview was racist or mean-spirited (since it can be seen as a quote)."
I was simply trying to explain to anon why, if we assume that he doesn't like gangsta rap because he thinks the use of the n-word is inappropriate (which is the anon's assumption and the interview doesn't have to be read that way, but I am replying to anon's assumption), that's problematic because a person who doesn't belong to a particular marginalized group isn't in the place to say whether or not it's appropriate for that group to use reclaimed slurs. Still basing on anon's assumption that he expressed his dislike because he thought it to be inappropriate, it doesn't mean he'd be racist or homophobic (which I have never once said he'd be), it just means that he doesn't have a very good understanding of reappropriated slurs. Which is fine, but it is problematic. But perhaps he didn't mean it that way at all.
