The N word

I was having a quiet drink with some of my activist soulmates at a trendy activist bar last night. The white wine was flowing and the metrosexuals were watching the lesbians make out in the darkness. Often, one or the other would go outside to indulge in some tobacco, pot, or hash. Inside we told stories of the fight against racism and the latest news about the imminent extinction of the seals.

In the rainbow world that activist work towards, there are no distinctions between any of the diverse village peoples. Everybody is treated the same in the courts, in education, in welfare spending, and in the eyes of one's fellow poly-gendered he/she/it/other.

Unfortunately, Activist Mike does not understand this. Activist Mike is a false activist. Mike is white, and during the course of our revolutionary discussions about fair, fairer and fairest redistribution of wealth, Mike used the N word.

Everybody knows about the N word. Black Hip Hop activist-entertainers use it all the time. I can think of several Hip Hop anthems that enshrine this word, like Sl'p d' B'tch 'n' Kap d'h the N word, or Kop Killah the N word. These are powerful poems that speak of multicultural diversity and celebrate love and acceptance. But Mike, being white, is not allowed to use the N word.

The bartending-polygendered-serving-person-lifeform shared with Mike that the N word was not an acceptable word. Personally, I was shocked. Even though Mike, Canada's most talented film producer, lives black, eats black, drinks black, and acts black, it is not acceptable for him to use the N word. Mike is, I now realize, really a bloodthirsty Klansman eager to lynch the N word's and take away their entitlements. He may not realize it himself, but in order to have a perfect Care Bear world where everyone is treated the same he just cannot use the forbidden word, the N word, like the employment equity hirelings he gets from the CBC.

I was happy to see him thrown out of the bar, the racist piece of shit. I hope his Canada Council grant is cut, his subsidized housing becomes filled with cockroaches, and his Gangbanger rectum-pals go Zulu on him. The Red Revolution must cleanse itself of reactionaries, only in this way can we hear all voices and then everyone can be treated equally in violence free workplaces.

Mike, you scum, you are a false socialist! No more the N word from you!
