My theory of nigger threads is as follows: there are essentially two types of nigger threads -- vulgar and speculative. The former, comprehending perhaps 90% of all nigger threads, is characterized by an immediately apparent offhandedness and purely offensive intent, e.g. "NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER." Speculative Nigger Threads are (or rather were) created for the purpose of ideological transgression, a protest against the now inescapable pervasiveness of what Roger Kimball termed the “dictatorship of the politically correct,” which has “used and abused the rhetoric of virtue in its effort to enforce conformity and silence dissent.” By defiantly and repetitiously using what has now come to be regarded as the language’s single most offensive word in the most offensive manner possible, speculative nigger threads attempt to simultaneously isolate the quality offensiveness itself and juxtapose it against a sense of banality to create a critical space in which the dictatorship’s oppressiveness (and perhaps its irony) can become visible.

I would divide the “movement” into three somewhat overlapping eras: 1.) An early period extending from the board’s inception to early-mid 2005 comprised almost entirely of vulgar nigger threads. Gradually they began to incorporate a nascent sense of speculativeness anticipating the arrival of poster such as White Pride and AK47; 2) A Golden Speculative Era extending from early-mid 2006-late 2007 in which posters such as AK47, White Pride, and eventually Man o’ War explored and exemplified nigger threads’ transgressive and critical potential; 3) a dissolution following the Lawsuit in which vulgar nigger threads again began to dominate.

I fear that the future of nigger threads will reside primarily in the vulgar.

I invite other nigger thread aficionados to refine this theory and provide representative, “signature” examples.
