Hello everyone on PerkForums, and welcome to my thread.
Now there are plenty of words that today are meant in a derogatory way, that years ago they were not.
A person who is economically, politically, or socially disenfranchised.
^ Can anyone guess what word this is the OLD definition of? None other than the slang word we have today
'Nigger' which now means:
[spoiler]
1. a. a derogatory name for a Black person
b. ( as modifier ): nigger minstrels
2. derogatory a member of any dark-skinned race
[/spoiler]
Now taking a look at that, how does a word evolve from basically meaning slave, to singling out an entire race?
A word such a this, and many other words that are now slang or racial slurs are developed within the government. How can I blame the government? I must be a whack job, one of them people who blame the government for everything? Absolutely not.
I do not cast judgment, without concrete facts to support them.
Black's in different schools, Black's being dis-aloud in certain restaurants, allowing slaves to be bought, sold, traded.
A lot of this was simply greed, and inconsiderateness of people. I'm not souly blaming the government for this, but he played a big role in it, in my opinion anyways. This doesn't stop at race, it moves to sex, it moves to sexual orientation, and it moves even until economical standings and wealth. We are responsible for this, with the help and allowance of the government, we are slowing tearing down this world that has been worked on so hard to keep a float.
You wonder why the suicide rates are high? Imagine being an over weight teenage girl in a big town, who every day walks home, only to see a swim suit model on a billboard, only to see what society calls acceptable, only to see she doesn't belong.
What I'd like from you guys, is an example of how to government plays a role in supporting Racism, Sexism, Discrimination. If you're not able to provide one of these, simply state your thoughts on what I just said and/or how you feel about it.
Thanks for reading guys and girls!
