>music is the nigger of the world what did she mean by this?

>When Björk told Vanessa Grigoriadis in the Spring 2015 issue of The Gentlewoman that "sound is the nigger of the world," it wasn't the first time she had used either the word or the piss-poor analogy. About 14 years ago, she used a similar turn of phrase in a Spin profile: "audio is the nigger of the world," she said then, too, in an idiotic attempt at explaining that visuals are more readily valued than sound. The phrase is a reference to John Lennon and Yoko Ono's "Woman Is The Nigger Of The World," but it was wrong when they said it in 1972, and it's even more wrong now. For all of its faults, the internet has made it so that geography is hardly an excuse for not knowing what is and is not deeply wounding language. Forty years later, Björk should be well aware of the insidious, sustained effects of casual racism.

"Nigger" is the nigger of the world

the analogy holds water fine; she's trying to be all poetic and shit and her grasp of English isn't great. People gave her way too much shit for this. Her choice of words were poor but they weren't incorrect.

Holy shit I'm always finding out more about this chick that makes me love her more
