ARE BANNED WORDS ALLOWED IN THE DICTIONARY ?
BANNING WORDS WILL NOT CHANGE WHAT IS IN A PERSON'S HEART.
I've always wondered why certain words are considered "bad words." I've always been of the opinion that words are only as good or bad as the intent behind them. Even the word love can have some ugly intent depending on how it's used. Words are merely how we express ideas to others, and we can twist them to represent nearly anything we want.
It is important to recognize that racism manifests in a variety of forms and styles in today’s world.
Representational: depictions of essentially racial stereotypes are common in popular culture and media, like the tendency to cast people of color as criminals and as victims of crime, or as background characters rather than leads, in film and television; also common are racial caricatures that are racist in their representations, like “mascots” for the Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves, and the Washington R******* (a word we can't say anymore).
Ideological: racism is manifest in world views, beliefs and common sense ways of thinking that are premised on essentialist notions of racial categories, and the idea that white or light skinned people are superior, in a variety of ways, to dark skinned people. Historically, ideological racism supported and justified the building of European colonial empires and U.S. imperialism through unjust acquisition of land, people, and resources around the world. Today, some common ideological forms of racism include the belief that black women are sexually promiscuous, that Latina women are “fiery” or “hot tempered,” and that black men and boys are criminally oriented.
Discursive: racism is often expressed linguistically, in the discourse we use to talk about the world and people in it, and manifests in racial slurs and hate speech, and in code words that have racialized meanings embedded in them, like “ghetto,” “thug,” or “gansta.”
Interactional: racism takes an interactional form such as a white woman crossing a street to avoid walking past a black or Latino man, a person of color being verbally or physically assaulted because of their race, or when, someone assumes a person of color working at an establishment to be a low-level employee, though they might be a manager, executive, or owner.
Institutional: racism can take institutional form in the way policies and laws are crafted and put into practice, such as the decades-long set of policing and legal policies known as “The War on Drugs,” which has disproportionately targeted neighborhoods and communities that are composed predominantly of people of color, New York City’s Stop-N-Frisk policy that overwhelmingly targets black and Latino males, and educational tracking policies that funnel children of color into remedial classes and trades programs.
Structural: racism takes structural form in the ongoing, historical, and long term reproduction of the racialized structure of our society through a combination of all of the above forms. Structural racism manifests in widespread racial segregation and stratification, recurrent displacement of people of color from neighborhoods that go through processes of gentrification, and the overwhelming burden of environmental pollution born by people of color given its proximity to their communities.
Systemic: racism within the U.S. can be described as systemic because the country was founded on racist beliefs with racist policies and practices, and because that legacy lives today in the racism that courses throughout the entirety of our social system.
Due to the sensitive nature of race as a topic of conversation in U.S. society, some have come to think that simply noticing race, or identifying or describing someone using race, is racist.
In fact, many sociologists, racial theorists and anti-racist activists emphasize the importance of recognizing and accounting for race and racism as necessary in the pursuit of social, economic, and political justice. Bullshit...
... NEXT TIME YOU ARE OUT IN THE COMMUNITY. TAKE A LOOK AT THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU. THEY ARE ALL IN THE SAME DAM BOAT YOU ARE, CALLED THE MIDDLE CLASS. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR RACE OR NATIONALITY. BAN TOGETHER AND TAKE CONTROL.
Do Whites make out better? Yes. Why? Because they control the wealth. Do POOR White people, do better? Most would trade place with Ben Carson ANY DAY. That is a bit of a racist statement, but so is assuming all white people are supremacists, or have the power or means to.
If someone hates their neighbor, the reason does not matter, it is something they'll have to live with, it will not keep you from living life. But, it you hate your neighbor and blow up is house, that is an issue. Someone does not like you because of the color of your skin, your sexuality, your intelligence level, they call you names, they hurt your feelings, those people are assholes. Get over it, their haterate does not stop you from getting on with your life, if they do there are laws.
Now, when their haterate does interfere with your right to happiness then it's time to take action. You can not change what is in a person's heart with any hate laws, they can only hope to deter them becoming physical.
FORGET WHAT YOU SEE IN THE NEWS. WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THE REAL WORLD, THE COMMUNITY YOU LIVE IN. WANT TO STOP VIOLENCE AND RACISM IN THE LOWER CLASS. THAN CONTROL THE WEALTH. THE WORKING CLASS NEEDS TO BAN TOGETHER, AND SET ASIDE RACE. AND REALIZE WE ALL WANT THE SAME THING, AND UNITED WE CAN GAIN THE POWER. A MULTIRACIAL POWER STRONG ENOUGH TO CONTROL THOSE WHO CONTROL THE WEALTH.
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the WORKING CLASS
for which it stands.
