Mars 1,423 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I don't get what she means ... She's saying that sound/music is under appreciated and not properly treated, especially in a gallery/museum environment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joumana 463 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Nope I didn't say she dehumanized anyone. I said the word has been used in the past to and still is used to do so. You don't get to re-appropriate a word with these connotations to make a kick-ass metaphor. She was reffering to SOUND and why is that? Did you just create boundaries to self expression? guess whos up in this bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars 1,423 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Once again, I'm not one of the people saying she is racist. I bet she isn't. But she does not have the right to use that word to fit her metaphor. Well, she does technically "have the right" but she should be prepared to deal with the consequences of using such language. It doesn't feel in good taste.I suppose your right, I can see why it would upset people obviously. But I can also see her point. Maybe not the best choice of word.

Jed 7,716 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 She was reffering to SOUND and why is that? Did you just create boundaries to self expression?No by all means she can use whatever language she likes.. But that doesn't mean I have to think it was tasteful or respectful. I don't think it was necessarily disrespectful to african americans but there are better ways to get your point across without using incendiary words that will offend people.

You're missing the point. Bjork is talking about a medium, not a human being. She is using the word to make a point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
