❝I’m totally walking straight, but this damn Earth is drunk!❞ superwoman ✨

"Something tells me this Earth is not at fault,” Diana said as she watched her friend stumble after perhaps one too many drinks, going on about how she was perfectly fine to get home in one piece. Diana didn’t trust her in the slightest, even if she made no indication to refute her statement, simply standing and watching her stumble equally as horribly through her words, excuse after excuse meeting deaf ears.

It was almost kind of endearing the way Kara insisted upon taking care of herself, though she didn’t see why she had to bear the weight of the world on her shoulders alone - even for something as menial as ensuring she arrived home safely.

“Come, girl of steel,” she told her once Kara had tired herself out enough, no longer able to string together a coherent enough explanation as to why she should’ve been allowed to get back to her apartment by herself, “don’t drink and fly. If not for your safety but for the safety of the flock of birds that will inevitably cross your path.” She hoped she’d loosen her up slightly with her joke, Kara’s shoulders slackening slightly as she resigned to accepting Diana’s help.

She looped an arm around Kara’s waist, keeping her upright as her other hand extended to softly push the glasses the other girl wore up the bridge of her nose to keep them from falling. “You will sleep with me tonight,” she said, not stopping to think twice about it, “and I will let your sister know, so she does not worry. You and I, Kara, we have to watch out for each other, after all.”

So an oral reading of a book that contains the n-word wouldn't be appropriate? I'm not understanding that, honestly. I wouldn't use it in regular conversation of course -- the reason I ask is because in high school, I was reading aloud in English class (I think we were reading Of Mice and Men or something) and the n-word was in the text. I didn't feel comfortable saying it, so I said 'n-word' instead; but other students (both black and white) did. I'm just trying to understand bc I feel very str

-strange – usually I am on the understanding side of issues like this so I’m like, what am I not getting? Please help :(

Okay, so I’ll just give you some back-up info on what was going on in my class when this incident happened. We were reading Assata Shakur’s autobiography, and my professor wanted us to get into groups and discuss certain questions she assigned to us. Within the text, Shakur used the n-word every now and then, mostly to describe what was being said to her or those around her from authoritative figures. Now, the student in question, I’ll call him Dick (ya know, short for Richard), brought up that he thought it should be okay to say that word if we read the text out loud given that it was what was written.

He said, “We say it in our heads when we’re reading it, so why can’t we say it out loud if we quote a passage?” And he was a white student, keep in mind. I told him I felt very uncomfortable with that, however, given that no one within this group was black. The other person of color in the group kept looking at me like, “God, this guy,” and then Dick said, “Like, I wouldn’t mind if someone wrote the word ‘cracker’ and said that out loud if they were reading it from the book.” And I said that was different. Then, Dick said, “Well, I’m a sociology major, so… It’s in a lot of books we read, like Tom Sawyer and-.” Blah, blah, blah - basically, he tried to bring up every justification that he could say it if he wanted to because “it was in the text.”

Uncomfortable beyond belief, I left that classroom and spoke to my professor the next day who taught Women of Color Feminisms through the Black Perspective and I told her what had happened. She was also very shaken up by what I had told her and told me, “What he needs to keep in mind is how this author uses that word. Would Assata want him, a white man, to use that word?” Within the text, these were words that her oppressors had thrown at her face, so I knew then that she would definitely not want him to repeat those words, no matter the reasoning.

In my opinion, when people try to justify a scholarly text to use a word that has been used as a word to oppress black people, it’s essentially just a way for them to express their interest in using the word without seeming like a racist, even if they are 100% a racist - or completely ignorant of the fact.

If you are not black, you should not be saying the n-word.

I don’t care what you use to try and justify it - “I’m just quoting the book! I’m just quoting the song! I have black friends! My black friends let me say it! No one’s said anything before! I’m an entitled jerk who thinks I can do anything I want!” Don’t say it. I don’t care the reasoning. The word is not ours. It was used as a means to oppress black people and now they have taken it back and made it their own. They should be the only ones allowed to say it.

Marley let out a soft huff as she uncrossed her arms and moved them to her side while her sight shifted between Jake and Bree. She wasn’t out of line calling Bree out like she had but apparently he thought she was but she was well past anger at this point. She was hurt. How could Jake side with Bree on this when she was clearly in the wrong. Curse her and the perfectly manicured claws she had dug into Marley’s best friend, ruining him.

“I think you’re right.” She whispered softly, but still managing to keep her head held high as she reached down for her bag. “I think that I should go and I also think that I’m done Jake. I’m done being treated like garbage between the two of you. I deserve better and I thought that my best friend would understand that but clearly I was wrong. Don’t even bother anymore okay? Because I’m leaving and I’m not coming back anymore.”
