This is veering off topic but it's too good not to link Mohammed Ali on the words 'black' and 'white': https://vimeo.com/139167005 https://vimeo.com/139167005 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueDbCmG3iu4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueDbCmG3iu4 He must have been doing those riffs a lot back then. What a master communicator and performer. He reminds me of Dylan's comic side. Coming back to the topic, if you watch that youtube link to the end, it's interesting how different his recommendation is from 'allowlist' and 'blocklist'. He's not suggesting that whiteness and blackness be taken out of words and replaced with awkward, prudish constructs that no one would otherwise use. Instead he wants positive use of 'black' words: "Rich dirt is black dirt, strong coffee is black coffee". It's a different approach and he expresses it in such a simple and funny way. Of course this was of the moment in the late 60s (black pride).
