Oh is this about that Russell Simmons article where he wants to ban the n word, the b word, and the h word? Obviously as an artist I’m of the school where I think banning words is ridiculous, just like I think banning guns is. It’s all about context right? Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Words don’t kill people, not even close. Do words even hurt people’s feelings? No. People hurt people’s feelings. So now people like Russell Simmons and whoever want to make teasing a crime. While we’re at it, let’s ban the word “f*ggot.” Oh no we can’t because then what would we call a bundle of sticks? Damn. Banning a word is like trying to hold your hand up to the ocean to keep the waves from crashing down on you. Pointless. “N*gger” is a great word. It just packs so much punch. The two g’s next to each other are like literal two G’s, broin out, tough as nails, them against the world. It gives me chills that a word can hold so much power, it really makes me feel like I chose the right profession.”
