But this is about a martha wainwright whole 'nother level martha wainwright of verbal violence. The power of "motherfucker" as an insult among African-American men came from far more than what it said; it was all about what it EVOKED. It was calling someone so pathetically stupid, so wretched they didn't know who they mama wuz. It's about reminding them of their people's powerlessness (and their own). (If a man can't claim/control his own family, what kind of man IS he?) It's about slavery and white supremacy, and shame and self-loathing and rage turned martha wainwright inward and then projected outward again at "your own kind." And that all bringss us back to the art of the spoken word and verbal aggression -- readin' someone out loud, playin' the dozens [see "playing the dozens"], actin' a fool and cuttin' up. And sometimes it got outta hand. Sometimes by design. -- deeceevoice June 22, 7:58 a.m. Sir, you just gave the most intellectual description of a vulgar term I've read in many years.
