No one person does, but the changes happen. And you're not obliged to honor them, but you don't get to decide it doesn't reflect poorly on you when you use outdated words like "Negro".

Recently I noticed a new word change decreed by the Bureau of Political Correction. It is no longer permissible to speak of a person's slaves. One is required to speak of the people the person enslaved.

For example, one is no longer allowed to write, "Thomas Jefferson owned 600 slaves." The newspeak is to write, "Thomas Jeferson enslaved 600 people."

This is factually untrue. Thomas Jefferson enslaved no one. He may have inherited some of his slaves. He bought others. Many slaves were born on his plantation.

Negro slaves were enslaved by other African Negroes, who sold them to white slave traders. When the slave trade existed whites could not enter the interior of Africa to enslave anyone. They lacked resistance to African diseases. When a slave ship appeared off of the coast of Africa African Negro tribes would often fight each other to capture slaves to sell. Sometimes they even sold family members. While this was happening, slavery was already widespread among African Negros.

The use of the word "enslaved" for "slaves" is an effort to absolve African Negroes of their complicity in the slave trade.

To make sure I was using the word "newspeak" correctly I looked it up on the internet. This is the definition I found:

Newspeak is a term originating from George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, referring to a fictional language used in the totalitarian state of Oceania. Its primary purpose is to control thought by limiting vocabulary and expression, making it difficult to articulate dissenting ideas. Newspeak is characterized by euphemism, circumlocution, and the inversion of customary meanings, often used by politicians and government officials to obscure meaning. Ultimately, it aims to make "incorrect thoughts" impossible by removing the words needed to express them.

I do not use "Negro" as a slur. Dr. martin Luther King Jr. did not use it as a slur in his "I have a dream speech." I often use the word "Oriental" I am white, but I prefer Orientals to whites.

You did use "trailer trash" as a slur. What is wrong with people who live in house trailers?

What does that have to do with name calling?

 

[Pad_Foot]

Slurred speech for able bodied(?) folk is a sign of some mental problem

Lack of empathy is just a sign of a defective human being. Certainly not a “Christian” whom Jesus would praise. What would Jesus think about “his” church ??

To be clear;

• You're not black.
• You're not an assasinated civil rights activist.
• You're certainly not Dr Martin Luther King.

Nothing wrong with living in a trailer. It's the content of the character of the people in the trailer and you are trash.

blood thirsty Jews

From your liberal friends at Google:

The phrase "bloodthirsty Jews" is antisemitic hate speech rooted in the ancient, false accusation known as the "blood libel". This dangerous canard has incited persecution, violence, and massacres against Jewish people throughout history, and it continues to be used by extremists today.

The blood libel explained

The blood libel is a centuries-old conspiracy theory that falsely accuses Jews of murdering non-Jews, particularly Christian children, to use their blood for religious rituals.

• Origin: This myth originated in the Middle Ages and is often associated with the Passover holiday, with the false claim that Jewish people use the blood for baking unleavened bread (matzah).
• Medieval spread: The libel was promoted through religious teachings, literature, and art, leading to widespread persecution. Notable cases, such as the murder of William of Norwich in 1144, sparked mob violence against Jewish communities across Europe.
• Nazi propaganda: The Nazi regime revived and heavily promoted the blood libel to demonize Jews and justify genocide. The virulently antisemitic newspaper Der Stürmer frequently used ritual murder imagery.
• Modern continuation: The myth continues to be spread in the 21st century by modern extremist groups and propaganda in some parts of the world.

How the phrase is used today

The phrase "bloodthirsty Jews" echoes the core themes of the blood libel and other antisemitic tropes by portraying Jewish people as inherently evil, violent, and conspiring against non-Jews.

• Dehumanization: It dehumanizes Jewish people by stripping them of their humanity and painting them as a monstrous collective.
• Blaming for society's ills: The rhetoric often serves to blame Jewish people for society's problems, fueling a paranoid mentality that portrays Jews as nefarious and manipulative.
• Incitement to violence: The phrase is a dangerous form of incitement. The Anti-Defamation League and the FBI consistently report that crimes targeting the Jewish community make up the majority of all religion-based hate crimes in the United States.

Responding to this type of hate speech

Organizations like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the American Jewish Committee (AJC), and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) track, expose, and combat this kind of dangerous rhetoric. If you encounter antisemitic hate speech:

• Recognize the rhetoric: Understand that phrases like "bloodthirsty Jews" are not legitimate criticisms but rather historically-rooted, dangerous conspiracy theories.
• Report it: Report the content to the platform where you encountered it, whether it's a social media site or a website.
• Confront it safely: If appropriate and safe to do so, confront the person and explain why their language is antisemitic and harmful.
• Don't amplify it: Avoid giving the hate speech a wider platform. Instead, counter it by promoting accurate information and education.

Truth is not hate speech. Being against a genocidal group of evil people is not hate. Hate is murdering children and families because some terrorists attacked you. Anyone supporting the genocide deserves death themselves.

 

[Rightguide]

Only a race baiter would think the use of the word negro is a pejorative.

Some folks are flat out ignorant.

 

[Rightguide]

To say that Negroes are intellectual inferior would assert that all Negroes have lower IQ's than people of other races. I have never asserted that, because I do not believe it.

Lack of education or social polish is not the same as lack of intelligence.

Saying what people deserve is not advocating or threatening. There are plenty of people in this world that deserve death. But unless you are saying you will take care of it. Well not that much to go on.

YouTube offers a wealth of excellent podcasts hosted by highly educated Black men and women, each bringing sharp insights from a wide range of fields and experiences. When I was younger, I had the privilege of working for a Stanford educated Black aerospace engineer, a brilliant man who remains both a friend and mentor to this day.
