The part that irritates me is when people say 'reverse racism'.
Thats a load of crock. It's racism no matter who does it.
1) There's derogatory terms,...and then there's racism. Everyone that uses a "term" they shouldn't use isin't necessarily a racist,...no matter how much them using it may anger us.
He could've literally had the same exact argument with someone that looks more like him and switch one derogatory term for another (i.e., n_____ in place of c________). Matter of fact, I'm pretty sure he has.
Long story short,...this stuff about using a certain term while you're upset is going nowhere fast and doesn't define
a pattern of how someone treats people that "look" different, and/or how they see other people. <----- When we're getting into this kind of stuff is when we're THEN dealing with racism.
2) How the media reacts to things doesn't define "laws" or "rules",....nor should they. They are only interested in clicks, advertising, subscriptions, et. al. On the one hand, you can complain about how unfair it is that X is all over the news in headline after headline, yet Y is not,...but
you're at that point really complaining about our ability to have a free press. Their job isint to be fair, but to monopolize what they think you'll be interested in reading or viewing.
Do people get unfairly fired for it? Sometimes, yes. No system is perfect,...every system has drawbacks.
Don't know about you, but sign me up for the perils that come with that instead of communism. I'll just shoulder it and enjoy our ability to say what we want, read what we want, and react how we want.
