Name Game
New book about racial epithet misses the point
By Earl Ofari Hutchinson

That controversy lasts to this day, and has echoes in the contemporary feud
between filmmakers Spike Lee and Quentin Tarrantino. Lee takes the position
that growing up in Newark around black folk does not entitle Tarrantino to
use the N-word. Tarrantino, stung, has sometimes replied that his father's
girlfriend is black, so his use of the N-word was okay. He has become NBA:
Negro By Association. Which brings us to Kennedy's brief concluding chapter,
4, "How Are We Doing With Nigger?"

RASSISMUS IN DEN USA
Wer hat die Lizenz zum "Niggern"?
Von Steven Geyer, Washington
Die Rassenproblematik in den USA ist bisher nur in der Theorie gelöst - sagt
zumindest der schwarze Rechtsprofessor Randall Kennedy. Er analysierte den
komplizierten amerikanischen Rassismus und seine Ausprägungen in Popkultur
und Gesellschaft an Hand des Schimpfwortes "Nigger" - und landete einen
kontroversen Bestseller.
