Madonna Grovels For Using Politically Incorrect Term Of Endearment For Her White Son


Madonna has created waves for using the “N Word” word in a posting on Instagram.

The ever vigilant word police spotted that Madonna published a picture of her 13-year-old son, Rocco, with the message: “No one messes with Dirty Soap! Mama said knock you out!.” and the hashtag – horror of horrors – “#disni–a.”

OMG!

Of course, Madonna speedily moved into damage control mode, and apologized for using a “racially offensive word” when describing her son – who just happens to be white!

Madonna issued the apology after she originally called those who criticized her language “haters”.

She said: “I am sorry if I offended anyone.” Which, of course, is not exactly the same as saying “I’m sorry I did it.” The wording of apologies has been turned into an art form by PR people, and this is a good example.

Madonna, 55, added:

“It was not meant as a racial slur. I am not a racist. There’s no way to defend the use of the word.

It was all about intention. It was used as a term of endearment toward my son who is white. I appreciate that it’s a provocative word and I apologize if it gave people the wrong impression.”

OK – so the actual wording is fairly grovelling, but surely the question must be asked: Can using a term of endearment, which Madonna employed in referring to her own son – not a third party – be interpreted as a racial slur, if the epithet is black, and the person to whom it refers is white?

And Madonna has a history of joking as far as her son is concerned. Earlier this month, she posted a photo of Rocco and his two friends holding up bottles of alcohol.

When attacked for this, she defended the post as a joke: “No one was drinking we were just having fun! Calm down and get a sense of humor! Don’t start the year off with judgement!”

In addition to Rocco, Madonna has three other children. They include Mercy and David who were adopted from Malawi, and are both black.

Would anyone take offense if Madonna used a “white” term of endearment for them?

Probably!
