Okay, here's the thing.

If someone says Hey, this hurts people and promotes racism, and maybe you ought to rethink it",

Then perhaps it's a clue that maybe you should listen, rather than be a willfully blind jackass about it.

Yes, the word just might mean something else to you and others who share your lack of experience with this word as a weapon. But for something as serious as racism?

Maybe you ought to consider that the people who will suffer from it and have suffered from it just might have a point, okay?

The only way to stop it is to be an active and willing participant of stopping it.

Cluebat over. Think about it, all right?
silverthorne: (Oi!)
So, I hauled ass out of bed to go and get coffee and creamer and to spend my birthday money from Dad.

And LO! There was a display of Deathly Hollows books, and yet there were still copies sitting there.

And I did pick one up, and I did go shopping for new clothes and plant food and me food and laundry soap and new, soft bedsheets.

And I did go to the check out. And I did check out.

And I found that the book was, yeah and verily, seventeen dollars more than I had.

And I pondered this quandry.

And pondered again.

And decided that, hey, dammit, I'd rather be able to walk out the door without my jeans falling off than already have the book.

And so thus the book was returned to the display. And I left.

At least until the birthday check from Grandma shows. *g*
silverthorne: (Oi!)
All right, what I'm about to say will amount to:

a) Preaching to the choir

and/or

b) Seeming to talk down to folks. (Which I'm not, but hey, it's the interbutt. Someone's bound to get offended.)

But. I'm irritated. So here's the cut so you can choose not to read if you don't want to... )
