david:

Can I use the word “nigga” if I’m quoting a song? Specifically, the extremely common gesture of sharing lyrics on a blog or profile.

I imagine nobody would suggest it’s offensive for a white person to share the recording (perhaps excluding the RIAA), but printing the word felt different enough to make me hesitate when making a post earlier. Just curious.

Right now you’re practicing liberal paternalism. Knock it off.

  41. david said: @sadydoyle To your point about censoring the works: I agree. That was my first instinct. But something about blanking out chunks of the lyrics felt just as awkward as using the word. I guess I’m just used to the verbal awkwardness!
