Polish Rapper Under Fire For Use of The Word 'Polack'

DETROIT - MC Krakow, a popular Detriot-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 protrayals 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.'"
