Words.
I taught school in a remote village in Africa. There were tonnes of banned books in that dictatorship country. I smuggled in the Color Purple and Uncle Toms Cabin from off of that list. I discussed with my fellow teachers American racism history, and the 'N' word, because they were completely facinated by American blacks like Mohammed Ali, and Micheal Jordan, Michael Jackson ect.
A word that was not in their vocab, became something much more relevant...and now they could understand the Rap music that was also being smuggled in, as that word has so much air time. There will never be offence of that word there, because that is not a word with historical meaning.
Where there is history...the words have meaning.
But what do I know, I'm a silly American Mazungu.Last edited by KO'd N DOA; 6/23/2009 10:31am at .

warning warning warning!!!!
REading this thread could be dangerous....
You may notice your IQ slipping a few notches,.. suddenly you are spelling things like you are from Falls River Massachussets... then things won't be such a bother and what did you mean by that? could you repeat that slowwly?
Then your foarehead will seem to grow out a bit at a 45 angle and your ears will get smaller, spit and urine will come out copiously, like you need a drain plug.... and you will enjoy picking your nose like it is a competative sport..... you will of course forsake Chess and Brazilian Jiu for bowling and more bowling with nice bowling shoes and more bowling.
So, stay away from this thread! -
