    A Treatise on Oreos and N-words (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    The last time a racial insult genuinely hurt my feelings, I was in middle school. Before you ask? No, it wasn’t “nigger”.No. That would have been too simple. Too obvious. Some idiot yelling “Nigger” to insult you is at least honest about the transaction. He hates you, he has the vocabulary of a malfunctioning lawn mower, and he has selected the most ancient piece of racial profanity available to him. Fine. We understand each other.This was different.

    There is a point at which a civilization becomes so desperate to discover evil that it begins manufacturing the stuff in its own basement. We have apparently reached that point. The demand for racism has outstripped the supply, so we’re manufacturing racism now.Consider this Converse advertisement everyone is talking about.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LWVR!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.a
