Post 8, acceptance of lauguage, Marcus Anderson

Reflecting about what we discussed last class I thought about all the things that we discussed within the classroom. In my personal opinion I feel that certain words have a stronger definition behind them which does not make them okay to say. Now from discussion we choose to use the N word. My personal perspective on this is that until it becomes wholly acceptable for people of all races to say that word, it is mostly likely one of those words that we should not try to make "popular and acceptable" in out society. I think of of the main problems in our society is that the Media is trying to make certain stereotypes and racial terms "acceptable" in our time today. I believe that even thought some people view racial stereotypes and names as no harm we just are not at a point in our society where all terms are acceptable to use at any given time and in front of any given audience. So until we all can walk around and say racial terms to all races and ethnicity's and they are accepted without rebuttal then we should continue to evaluate ourselves and our judgement of situations before we act.
