Ok this is going to be one of them "deep and meaningful" blogs but I feel I have to share a video I have just seen.
| A book to read! |
Some of you might not know me very well and some might have know me for years but I really hate bully's!
Of late I have called out a few of my friends about racist comments or sexist views. With some I took it as people just trying to be cool and to get a point across, other's I see as just being silly and saying something that they have herd someone else say.
I have been making it a point of my life to re-educate some people that I feel should know better, While some I have just called out on being a biggit! Just because our grandparent said something does not mean its ok for us to, Just because its not show that it has upset someone does not make it fine. Were talking about sex, race or what ever it is that you think makes us different from each other... Drop all this shit as were not different, everyone of us is the same, every life form has the right to be happy and safe.
My case in point for many of my friends is the term "Gay", meaning something bad, Now I know where this comes from as well calling something queer once meant it was not the norm, but after a while queer was used as a diss to gay people. I am so sick of people calling something gay when its implie that its wrong or bad, We are speaking English here people and I believe that we should start doing that again. Read some books and pick up where the words come from! The Etymologicon is one that I would check out.
Every so often you find someone that feels the same about something that you do but its rare to find someone that feels that they should stand up within there own circles of friends and family to say something right and fair. My Girlfriend has asked me why I like this guy so much and I think this might help her to understand. The fact that I believe as he does that everyone should have there say but at the same time call out some "free speech" as the hateful comments that they are.
Now the video that started this blog is from MovieBob, A man living in the U.S who like me cant stand a bully. He has a blog, Youtube channel and also does Game/Movie themed shows on the escapistmagazine.com showing some of the great and the worst we as a race have to offer!
Now some of you might have a problem with what I am saying and I welcome you to give me your comments but like I say about the trolls all over YouTube... Just because you can say it, does not mean you should!
