Even a Morehouse grad? That's amazing.
If there ever was a slur that needed a revival, it's honkey.
@Down10 Kind of agree, but it's also something I've been using as a self-descriptor for years; its utility as an insult has been softened by age. The people have to come up with their own language to stay ahead of the dominant culture and its assimilationist tendencies.
It's utility as an insult has never had a chance in a still white supremacist culture. I mean, let's get real.
@caitlinburke I'm sure it was a fine and effective slur in its day (which would have been 40-45 years ago), but I feel hella weird as a grown-ass adult white male discussing whether it should still be used. Once the insider term became mainstream, other insider terms took its place.
