R-word Word of the Week
Words have power. Use them carefully. The word "retard" has been twisted into a slur from very simple, humble beginnings. Also, I think there may be gods in the pantheon we weren't aware of. Spooky.

Via eepalm93's You Tube Channel: I think that using the "R-word" is one of the most derogatory terms that someone can use. Most people say they don't mean to disrespect people with mental disabilities when they use the "R-word." Not only is it disrespectful to them, but to all of the people who love them as well. This video is for my sister, Laura.

Via LaviePetite's YouTube Channel: When saying the R-word: What we mean is that he is as stupid as someone who is mentally handicapped, and we mean that in the most derogatory sense. The implication is that the only characteristic of mentally handicapped individuals is their stupidity.
