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 rap midis kind of man IS he?) It's about slavery and white supremacy, and shame and self-loathing and rage rap midis turned 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. |

| Does someone have a source for that? This by sue kolinsky page is starting to read as some kind of newspaper column. --Puffy jacket 05:10, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC) Well, whaddya know?!! A comment. You'll be pleased, Puffy -- maybe not -- that I've edited that phrase. I struggled with it from the beginning/didn't like it. It bothered me every time I read it -- but for different reasons. I didn't want by sue kolinsky folks to read it and by sue kolinsky think it implied forced incest was a common practice during slavery. A source? I doubt one exists. I sought to provide some historical context in my earlier comments in this section inre the cultural significance of verbal aggression and its various uses -- most notably in this instance, the practice of "signifyin'." The incest taboo has been around so long, if "motherfucker" were simply about that, it probably would have been in the English lexicon centuries ago. |
