Chris Rock, "Black People vs.

Niggers." (1996) From Rock's HBO special "Bring the Pain," a brutally frank, devastatingly funny examination of the class division in black America.

"There's like a civil war going on with black people.

And there's two sides: there's black people and there's niggers.

The niggers have got to go." The audience went bananas, and he was just getting started.

The next five minutes shook the comedy world, and elevated Chris Rock to the top of his profession.

The Last Poets, "Niggers Are Scared of Revolution." (1970) The Last Poets were a huge influence on hip-hop and today's spoken-word scene.

This particular piece, by Umar Bin Hassan, is a classic deconstruction of African-American complacency.

Bin Hassan says "nigger" 89 times in about five minutes, as if this were a magical ritual to transmute self-hatred into self-love.

"No Viet Cong ever called me nigger," anonymous.

(1960s) Contrary to popular belief, Muhammad Ali never said this.

The ACLU is seeking class-action status for all defendants jailed as the result of what the civil liberties group calls the court's ''pay or stay'' policy.

Joe Cook, executive director of the Louisiana ACLU, said Thursday that such a sentence ''means the rich pay to get out of jail and go home, while the poor stay in overcrowded Orleans Parish Prison to pay off the debt with jail time.'' Cook said the practice has been banned by the U.S.

Supreme Court and the Louisiana Supreme Court.

''It's past time for New Orleans to comply with the fundamental principle that rich and poor alike should be treated equally under the law,'' Cook said.

Pamela Metzger, director of the Tulane Criminal Law Clinic, said the city pays about $23.50 a day for each municipal prisoner, meaning it would cost taxpayers about $500 to house Dear for a sentence imposed in lieu of a $200 fine.

Metzger said those arrested for such common municipal offenses as begging, public intoxication and obstruction of public passage ways typically are in need of mental health treatment — now in short supply in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

In addition to Shea, the city's other three Municipal Court judges are named as defendants in their off...
