Ignorance

 The ignorance of people can sometimes amaze me. I thought at this day in age people understood that certain words or phrases were offensive to some people. It is without a shadow of a doubt shocking and unreal to see a grown man acting like an ignorant child, using offensive language directed towards a woman in front of children. I have no respect or consideration for those who choose to ignore the rights and wishes of others. The man in question made a comment that went a little something like this: " It is not my fault that these liberals are so afraid of their goddamn shadow. They want to love everyone? Well give me a break! We are not all made equal and a word is only as important as someone makes it. I'm not going to tiptoe around their feelings anymore. You want to be a liberal? Then stay the hell out of my way!" A completely grown man who apparently had no proper upbringing or common sense for that matter made this intelligent statement. If a word is offensive to some people it is offense do not use it because you really don't want to find out if the person your dealing with just happens to be a person that is okay with that word. What's surprising is that we have not had this problem at the preschool, because even children are taught not to say certain things not just to other kids but also in general. They are labeled "bad" words and the subject is put to rest. I don't know where the respect for other people was dismantled along the way but I'm hearing more and more about how its bullshit that certain people can say this word and others can't. How an African American can say the N-word but the white guy's bitching that he can't. Why would you want to say the N-word anyway if you're white? The only purpose is to hurt someone of Black heritage. I mean lets get real for a second, no matter what color you are if you use the N-word chances are people are labeling you anyway. Either as a troublemaker or an ignorant white person who's probably still saying "the South will rise again". Get over it and move on, be respectful and grow up.
