hiphop discourse

[Terrance]

terry, you're projecting ... well, i don't know about your
parents (couldn't 
  care less), but you're surely not only "dishonest", but
also manipulative, 
  arrogant, narrow-minded, nationalistic, slanderous etc pp.
briefly: ein 
  riesenarschloch.

 kfl 

Why did kfl, after a brief absence from this list, after
insulting me off list, calling me a coward, return with this
post? 

Actually, this was his second post to this list after
hiatus. 

This because I said that jbor is the most dishonest poster
on this list. I still hold to that because jbor insists on
pushing people around, forcing them into ideological corners
and then smashing them over the head with quotations. 

But why did kfl need to return to defend jbor by attacking 
me? 


Think about that one. 

Now, I am accused of attempting to foreclose a discussion of
hip-hop. A subject, if I may be so arrogant and
nationalistic about it, I know a great deal about. I know
that kfl has a genuine interest and love of hip-hop, I
respect him for it and I have thanked him for his positive
comments about hip-hop culture and its influence, I have
defended his right to employ the language freely. I have
also  noted how hip-hop has a liberating effect on American
English and why I think this is one of the most important
things happening in the language today. I have always, here
and everywhere, taken a very strong position against
censorship of any kind. 

I want the right to speak
I want the right to walk where I wanna
Yell and I'm gonna
