I don't like that term, homo. I don't think anyone should be able to use it unless they're gay. And even then, I still don't think they should use that word because it's so derogatory. So hateful.
I feel the same way about the word, nigger. Unless you're black, you should never utter that word. You shouldn't really use it even if you are black because it really is such a hateful word. Don't be hatin', people. Don't be hatin'.
My kids laugh at me because they'll say a string of swear words and I won't tell them to knock it off unless we're in front of other people or they say the "N" word. Which they only say when they're testing me. To see if I'm paying attention to what they're saying.
"Mom! You let us say all those other words but you yell at us when we say the 'N' word!"
"That's because it's a hateful, hateful, hateful word. The others are just stupid words".
And I feel the same way about the word "homo". Except I can say it without dying. If I say the "N" word in a group full of black people, I might get the shit kicked out of me (I can't argue there) as opposed to saying the "H" word in a room full of gay people. I could possibly survive a bitch slapping.
Sorry. Heh.
I just want to make it clear that I don't want any of you using that "N" word in front of me. Or that "H" word or even the "F" word that is the same thing as the "H" word in the Neanderthal dictionary.
Feel free to drop any other word bombs. I've already heard most of them from my younger child and his little cousin.
Although I don't like that "C" word in regards to women, when used by a man. Or when used by a woman when she's on the rag and in a fit of a rage. Although, when it's been used at me in the past, I only just started to laugh in her face. So perhaps it's a good ice breaker?
This is the end of today's lesson in rascism and hate and that words, too, can hurt you.
