Community against insults


couple of days ago, we were @ one of our friends house where you can do all in the same time in one big room
lol
THEY WERE CHIT_CHATING, I WAS WATCHING OPRAH
the episode was on fire, the issue was:
how we should react after the insult made by a hip hop star to black women?
at first, i thought: they must be joking!!, all the hip hop songs or movies with black gangs stories are filled with insults, the worest in the dictionary
what are they going to do about that??
and the bomb was:
priest, writers, singers, college students, basically everyone and anyone in lot of USA stats are making lot of actions to stop this
the oprah show was about the use of certain names when dressing a black woman !!!!!!!
this subject took from oprah 2 episods to deal with it 17/4 & 16/4
some of the guests were so polite not to use the words and refered to it using the first letter "the N word", others use it
why i was so interested in watching this and not to chit chat with my friends
1- because i'm a good girl of course :)
2- because i wasn't believing that this about the use of words in conversation not about any act of violence,
the guests talked about how the use of these words hurt the black women soul and this istimulate actions of violence against them
i was wondering can we do the same here, making a public conversation about how is hurting to hear words that offense a sex or religion
the conversation in oprah expanded to talk about the culture, the racism, the music
at the end, all is connected, hurting a woman by calling her a name is going to lead to a war where every one lose
this concept is truely deep and high to be understood by all
this episods were worth watching
