I'm dubious about the whole "reclamation" of epithets concep. yeah I get the Lenny Bruce concept but it's so corny! "if we all say it enough, it will lose it's power". that's about as deep & meaningful as "I'd like to buy the world a Coke".

One thing I will say though... I don't like it here on ILX when white men call each other "white boy" dismissively. What, you're Professor Griff all of a sudden?

"Middle class" as a putdown sucks too.

More power to you Fritz. :o)
Couldn't have chosen a better title either.

To each their own though, eh?
