IDECLAIR MEDIA, DECLARATIONS OF IDECLAIR... IDECLAIR IT!

Hello World. Jefferson County 20 year English teacher, Paul Dawson of Valley High School has been suspended 10 days without pay . . . for admittedly using the slang term"nigga."

"Yes, I use the term "nigga" . . . I admit I've used it," said Mr. Dawson. He also says he is "cured," and "I will never use any form of "nigga" again!!!" He says the kids at school say "nigga" all the time, and wants a public school policy regarding this particular word.

Some are calling for his termination . . . however, I disagree. This is a cultural and social reflection . . . and we as a culture, and a society need to take a good long look at what is going on . . .

It is hypocritical for black folk to use this historically demeaning and most powerful word in any form, and then be absolutely offended when others use it.

We as black people need to check ourselves, and stop using this damned word!!! If you do not want the teacher(s) or folks in general to use it . . . stop using it yourself. Black folk hear me . . . no more double standard.
