Hive account@creativetruth If my post, using the word NIGGER offends you, then the movie and book, "Twelve Years A Slave" should offend you and all the artwork depicting Afro-American slaves, who were indeed called NIGGERS by their MASTERS should offend you as well. You should be offended by the PRESENCE of apartheid and the negation of vote-value here on the wealth-value driven Steemit platform, but apparently, YOU ARE NOT. You are offended that I USE THE WORD that epitomizes the apartheid and negation of vote-value and the WORTHLESS status of plankton on the Steemit platform.

Can you think of another label that is more befitting than NIGGER to represent the plankton, whose votes, being worth less than .02, are now worth ZERO? Neither 'working poor' nor 'slave' suffice. NIGGER, connoting ZERO wealth, ZERO respect, ZERO freedom, ZERO value, is the exact word to use in depicting the status of plankton on Steemit.

Here's an exchange illustrating the condescending attitude that underlies this platform. Do you see how the MASSA corrects the NIGGER's INFERIOR use of the English language and directly accuses the NIGGER of BEGGING for upvotes? Do you see how the MASSA reminds the NIGGER that he is not entitled to rewards and that his work is WORTHLESS shit? Did you notice how the MASSA turned the discussion into a SELF-AGGRANDIZING commentary, but makes no attempt to understand what the NIGGER actually is imploring the post author to do?

Watch the RUN NIGGA RUN SONG clip, and decide if you see any correlations between the above exchange and the attitudes and actions depicted in the movie clip.

I am a NIGGER here and I am speaking to MY NIGGER CLASS. You aren't included in my class. YOU are a middle-class MASSA here and it seems you're attempting to scold me for the use of a word YOU DON'T LIKE to see used, but you don't have a counter-argument to the FACTS I've presented, establishing the perceived status of plankton as NIGGERS.

You don't LIKE the WORD used...but you don't seem to have any objection to the Steemit classism and negation of value that the word NIGGER exemplifies. How bout dat! Yous gonna come round us po people's shacks an tell me hows I's to behave and maybe yous gonna punish me with a down-vote too! Yous gonna avoid mixin up with my kind of low life, cos now yous understan why "the top witness rarely bother to engage with the masses"! Oooooh, Lordie! Looky hea all my NIGGER folk, I dun hook us a genuine MASSA fish with dis bait!

Note: My comment credits are limited, but I will eventually reply to comments on this post that I determine can further justify my position that Steemit's wealth-based classism is the fundamental principle driving the platform and the WORK IN option has been made obsolete by HF20.
