verbal puissance The major reason I despise liberals and their politically correct finger wagging, is that they are trying to pacify our language. If it were up to them poetry wouldn't exist in any aspect of our lives. We'd all be humorless, oatmeal spewing euphemism factories. Nothing special exists about being mentally or physically deficient. So why do we try and make it seem great to send children to a special school? Or we refer to people as handicapable? What the fuck? You can't use your legs, your a cripple. Vertically challenged my ass, its a dwarf. Sure, certain individuals who use these terms are callous fuckers who are utilizing their mouths as instruments of cruelty. Don't blame the language structure itself. Bullies and their venom are created at home, not the fact that they studied some degradation dictionary. Maybe if you told kids that using coke and heroin could make you cripple or retarded instead of handicapable or mentally deficient they might have a second thought about using them. And maybe if we were honest with people with abnormal conditions, and with ourselves about people with abnormal conditions, we could have actual dignity about the matter and find mutually beneficial accomodations. Now racial slurs. As I see it there is a vast chasm of difference between descriptive terms derived from genuine physical traits and terms devised out of ignorance, elitism, and hate. Still I don't think the word nigger necessarily has to be erased from our conscience. Anybody that came from an environment where black culture existed knows the difference between "wassup nigga" to "hey there nigger". If an aware black man wants to refer to himself and his homies as a niggas, people, black and white, ought to keep their meddling guilt ridden ego laden fingers off of it and back the fuck up off him. Well this pale ass, four eyed, drunk kraut ukie slacker freak asshole bastard, is gonna protect the potent might of the human language. May be the only legacy I leave behind. |
