The return of the 'White Negro' tag



EVG reader Ronnie shared this photo from earlier today on East Fifth Street at Avenue B.

We don't recall seeing this tag since the spring of 2009, when it started showing up on walls around the neighborhood.

I'll start tagging the EV with 'Black White Privileged'.

Looks like "WHITE VEGRO" to me. I assume it's an attempt at guerilla marketing for plant food.

Chocolate Honkey is not amused.

How bout "BLACK CRACKER"?

It is a wall salute to James White and the Blacks, aka, James Chance, aka, The Contortions.

And here I thought the EV was hip to its musical heritage. Sure - paint a wall with an image of some guy from a band from out of town, but do you honor the local greats?

This is a tribute to Norman Mailer's 1957 essay The White Negro. Not James Chance.

You're all wrong. It's a tribute to sloppy vandalism.

Apparently it has people talking. Mission accomplished.

Whatever stupid kid did this deserves to have his ears boxed and his playstation taken away for a week.
