I am not your negro

The Guardian: „The Pulitzer-nominated poet Laurie Sheck, a professor at the New School in New York City, is being investigated by the university for using the N-word during a discussion about James Baldwin’s use of the racial slur.“.

„During the class, Sheck pointed to the 2016 documentary about Baldwin, I Am Not Your Negro, and asked her students to discuss why the title altered Baldwin’s original statement, in which he used the N-word instead of negro during an appearance on a talk show.

Sheck told Inside Higher Education that a white student had objected to her language.“

Schon klar. „White students“ beschweren sich über das Wort negro. Man muss auch wissen, wer Baldwin ist und woher das Zitat stammt.

By the way: Woran und wie erkennt man, ob jemand weiß ist?
