A Response to My Previous Article

Yesterday, I wrote an article clearly stating I support affirmative action for all marginalized groups. I mention the horrors of slavery and that we need to fix the fact that LGBTQ members have higher suicide and unemployment rates. However, I use incredibly insensitive language (well, it’s insensitive to Americans and Canadians) to evoke emotion and discussion around the fact that we spend too much time focusing on American issues causing us to neglect issues facing those in the third world (I used the example of Ukraine because it’s closest to my heart at the moment.) I also mention that Dave Chappelle is the greatest American orator, but he needs to stop talking about the same three groups (whites, gays, and blacks) like they’re the only groups worth talking about. I used the word “Nig***” without *** defining it in a way to support my argument. That was enough to make the article “Hate Speech.” The article pissed my best friend off, but he called me to have a discussion. That’s the whole point. To feel, think, and discuss. When the hell are we going to stop being so god-damn sensitive so we can have discussions about the things that matter without beating around the bush? Get uncomfortable, get outside your comfort zone, and think in a way other than people tell you.

For all those that want to learn about Ukraine by reading a politically correct, sensitive, and much more detailed article than the one I wrote, check this out.
