Martin Luther King Jr. Spoke On Using The N-Word In A Rare Letter ... (Black America Web)

The late great Martin Luther King Jr. had an opinion on use of the N-Word, which was recently revealed in a letter up at auction for $95000.

The term, ‘dark skinned American,’ often finds its way into my speeches and writings and, encouragingly, I notice it, too, in the usage of so many others. The late great MLK Jr. had an opinion on the topic as expected, and it recently was revealed in a rare letter that’s currently at auction for $95,000. The words ‘dark skinned American’ constitute a vivid depiction of both citizenship and race just as you point out. I appreciate the meaningful points raised in your letter to me concerning racial appellations. The use of that and similar appellations reflect both our great heritage and our devotion to a brand of Americanism of the highest order. I agree wholeheartedly with you that the import of that term is in salient contrast with the connotation attached to the word ‘n*gger.’ The word ‘n*gger’ carries with it a meaning deeply rooted in the debilitating racist caste ordering of our society’s slavery epoch and segregation era.
