I'm a cynical gen-Xer, and my love for humanity sometimes translates into this futile but persistent paranoia. I rave against politically correct ideologies. I believe they are empty of value. They only play with labels.
They ignore the box, and just look at its label, then decide all sorts of things about it.
Maybe I rally against subtle prejudice.
I certainly rally against open prejudice.
Sometime people assume I'm a hater.
And yeah...that's true...
but I'm not hating on what they think.
I want to be able to say fag and nigger.
I look forward to a day when people are able to realize that by being offended by these words we fuel prejudice and give them their power.
They're just words.
People may kill and die for them.
But that doesn't mean anything about the words,
it speaks volumes though about the values people attribute to them.
The words aren't stupid, or intelligent,
they aren't villainous or evil,
these are the qualities only of the people that use them.
I think it would be great if people were largely intelligent enough to realize that.
