Boondocks wank (2 in 1, I must say!)
Since the Martin Luther King Jr. Boondocks Special, the cartoon and comic got a lot of flack for its use of the N-word, especially from Rev. Al Sharpton. Boondocks Creator, Aaron McGruder replies via random other press releases, and of course, his comic, which is found on LJ as the Boondocks Comic Community.
Lots of people toss in their 2 cents on use of the N word. The comments have since been locked, though the comic itself (dated 2/6/06) can still be seen on the main journal page.
dyvinesweetness lays down the law on the N word and other forms of bad language.
"Please be advised that the word is NOT allowed here. NO variations of it (outside of "n-word"). I don’t care if you spell it with an A, 3 G's or 5 Q's. I don’t care that Aaron says it. I don’t care if your best best best good Black friend let’s you call him/her one. And I certainly don’t care that you feel as though you have created an air tight “theory” as to why saying the word will “end racism.” No, I cannot be swayed on this so please don’t try. And whining about me taking away your “voice/freedom of speech/blahblah” only makes my ban finger itch. In addition, other potentially offensive words are off limits. This includes, but is not limited to: faggot, bitch, retard, you get the point."
On this corner, Diet Snapple remarks that Dyvinesweetness is so 'un-McGruder'. In another little corner of the thread, someone brings up the first amendment.
ETA: c/oanabelle_lee -- Diet Snapple, after the smack down. As Monty Python would say, 'Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!'
