09/12 The N-Word Debate
Quote From: yahweh1"Wisdom and Strength walks away, while Foolish and Pride try to sway"
Moral: If you know who you are, opinionated ideas or ignorant words are worthless and not worth the time.
Adults should be mature and impart this attitude to their children. Innocence can be harmed by these intended insults which could result in violence besides suffering. Children need to be protected by nourishing good self-esteem, educated and lovingly validated by parents, mentors, teachers or "The Village". Exactly, and the best way to do that? Teach kids that words spoken by OTHER people are not a reflection of THEMSELVES. If a child is called n***** he/she should be taught that that is not about THEM, it's about the person saying the word.
Once people learn to do that, simple words have less of an effect on their emotions.
