a: Nigger ~
b: Tinkerbelle

What:

"So what to do with the nagging and niggling Nigger that seems to hop into so many mouths and remains undying, still grasping to our collective vocabulary? Are we really done with the Nigger? Despite wishful thinking, I think not because our belief and fear of him keeps him alive. In that way, the Nigger is like Tinkerbelle. The sad truth is that the Nigger is alive and well in the hearts and minds of the American people."
