What it is! The Disdainer
Dignity Declaration simply gives public voice to those of us who object to words
and language used in the public arena with or without music, to degrade our
women, corrupt our children and thug emblazon our men. We demand that Black
culture specific assault words such as n----r, b—h and ho, as expressed by all
performers including by rap artists and comedians and delivered by all media,
print and electronic, TV stations, music and recording companies.
A “dignify me” request will add
your name to the “Declaration” is divided into two (2) sections: A)
Individual and B) Organization.
While you may submit
identifying information such as address and telephone numbers, we will only post
name, town or city and state.
Our ban demand is social not
legal. We want the above words and language to be as socially and culturally
unacceptable as are the K and S words.
DISDAINER DIGNITY DECLARATION
We the undersigned believe that words such as N—r, B—h, ho
and the language, lyrics and the rap music commonly associate with it are
injurious to Black culture. African-American children are, corrupted, Black
females brutalized and Black males (in perception criminalized by that negative
anti Black messages, lyrics, and music and images incessantly driven into our
domestic and global consciousness.
We there fore demand that the
above words in particular and negative language in general be socially and
culturally banned from public use, promotion, promulgation, publishing and
recording by the music and entertainment industry including radio station, TV
station, all performers, rappers and comedians.
