I found Adrian Piper’s calling cards fascinating and I instantly thought of how it was actually a good way to let someone know that what they said was not acceptable. However, I also thought of how it could go wrong. Although it may be a more peaceful approach, it can actually cause the person to become upset, which could cause her or others to get hurt. And I feel like a vast majority of people wouldn’t really pay attention to the cards, which is another issue. Also, it was never mentioned how people reacted to them or if it worked well, so I am not convinced that this is the best way to educate those who say racists remarks. On the site, it says, “The receiver of a card must contemplate what they said to her and how they view different types or groups of people”, but realistically speaking, most people probably wouldn’t really sit and think over what they said ( “Adrian Piper and Identity”). Still, I think the calling cards are a nice idea because it helps you acquire more knowledge about identity.
While I was reading the calling cards she made, I realized that she can make the cards work better if she just phrases what she says differently. It would lessen her chance of making someone upset. So I went ahead and took some words out.
“Dear Friend,
I am not here to pick anyone up, or to be picked up.
Thank you for respecting my privacy.”
(“Adrian Piper and Identity”).
"Fuck off".
