    what's with the K-word?

  7. Ovidius Nkoane

    Yeah! What's with the K-word?

  8. Sam Buk

    It's job is done? how?

    I'm open to the idea that you want me to interpret your use of 'Kaffir' as I wish, but I'm struggling for context. It would be great if you could elaborate further.

    What's wrong with using the word "Kaffir"

  10. lebogang nkoane

    KN: you have not answered Sam's, KotnCandy or Jaz's questions. Further more, none asked: "what is wrong with the use of the word", BUT, "why did you use it"?

    I too, would like to know — it is hate-speech, and considering, the woman on the photograph has objected to the word used alongside her image — this title, violates the terms of use of 75, and I quote:

    Don't break the law, South African and/or International. – and in constant Harmony." — http://75.co.za/info#tos )

    So, to be fair, please enlighten me, why?

    I generally don't want to moderate any 'graphers work or words, but, this 'title' lacks creative justification, secondly, it has offended the woman on the photograph. Thirdly, I don't think I or 75 would have a legal framework to stand on should we be found to be in violation of some law.

    I would suggest you creatively-re-titled the photograph, assuming you are in agreement with my argument if not, please expatiate or send me mail (or IM) if you prefer off-site dialogue.

    First and foremost I would like to apologise to the woman whom I offended.

    Now that is done, to Answer those who have questioned my motives for using hate speech that degrades black people, I was running with curiosity that sprung into my head when I was in lightroom busy editing this graph.

    Here is what I wanted to do when I typed out the title.

    (1) evoke emotions and see if I can stir up some kind of rebellion against a perfectly fine picture

    (2) understand if whether people are still bitter and oppressed

    (3) See if I would be forced to abide by the law that governs this platform or if I would oppose any given argument or suggestion " I have not done this, see result in the change of the title above the graph"

    (4) feed my knowledge and know what or what
    "not" to do next time my thoughts go off on such a path.

    I hope this has answered your questions, if not please let me know :)

    I saw the titled yesterday, I went against the idea of commenting @ that moment, I took a deep breath. I am sure we have photographers from all colours of the spectrum, and felt it is unfair for anyone to start using racially offensive words, on any platform, it makes all of us uncomfortable, it made me fear for the worst. It took me back a while, I am a liberal but, I feel no one is @ liberty to use such words. LOVE your work, and dont have an issue with you personally whatsoever, we suffered enough in the MZansi........ No need to open healed wounds.

  13. NguJaz

    your second reason for the title, still bitter and oppressed ?! seriously bruh?

    so based on all that you set out to test, what did you discover? *curious

  14. Karabo_Ngoatle

    Apart from the anger that the black man/woman has towards such labels, I discovered Fokol really
