The following chapters reference explicit racial slurs and include off ensive, racist, and violent imagery. Used as insults, even in the form of “jokes,” these words and images are harmful and painful as they convey and carry the history, weight, and continuity of racial hatred, violence, and white supremacy. While damaging when used in this way, these words and images will not be censored in the analysis that follows, as I do not wish to downplay or “whitewash” their intent and impact. It is important to feel and grapple with the ugly aspects of their original usage and meaning when critically examining their circulation in society. The one exception will be the use of the “N-word,” a word that is perhaps the most racist, painful, and violent in the English language. As a Latino who does not identify as white or Black, this decision took a moment of refl ection and consideration in light of recurring public debates and controversies regarding its usage by those of us who are not Black. I do not wish to cause the reader any additional pain or discomfort in ways that may detract from fully engaging with the important and serious analysis that follows, and I do not believe this decision undermines or diminishes the arguments made in this book in any way.
