Polish Rapper Under Fire For Use Of The Word 'Polack'
DETROIT— MC Krakow, a popular Detroit-based rapper of Polish descent,
came under fire Tuesday for his use of the word 'Polack' on his new
album World Warsaw III. "When MC Krakow casually uses the P-word, it
dredges up decades of hurtful portrayals and cruel jokes for our
people," said Sandy Serwacki, president of the Polish Anti-Defamation
Society. "In just the song 'Ten-Inch Pierogie' alone, he uses the word
27 times." In an official statement, MC Krakow defended his use of the
word: "When I say, 'Y'all be my Polacks,' or 'Yo, what up, Polack?,'
it's my way of taking the word back. Our people need to re-claim and
embrace 'Polack' with pride, just like Eminem did with the word
'faggot.'"
