Starts off nice and wholesome right? Just wait, it gets worse.

Tsk tsk. Doesn't she know it's racist to judge minorities? I try not be offended when Madowweyne speak against us. We have all the power. Might as well let them sling verbal mud around in peace, even at each other. No harm. No etiquette with these Cadaans, wallahi.

"Some express their pride in contrasting their identity from African Americans, while relying on racist epithets; others are at times similarly racist in identifying with African American ghetto culture;

Yeah I have no idea how it’s racist to identify with african america “ghetto” culture.

She just seems to hate both sides of the spectrum I guess. I’m also confused why she called african american culture ghetto.

I think all that time on somnet got to her lol

@Basra did she contact you about the book beforehand?
