We've all seen it and been privy to the awkwardness: the guy in the nightclub or bar in a wheelchair. Personally, I give them huge props for having the balls to say "I don't give a fuck" and heading out there knowing they'll get glared at.
But goddamn (and I don't say this in a mocking or sarcastic way at all)... let's say you're in your 20's or 30's and have only been in the chair for a year or two; would it not be depressing as hell to go back into the type of environment where you had some of the best times in your youth... partying, bar hopping, dancing with chicks, after-party hook ups, etc? Why torture yourself watching everyone else dancing, socializing, and chasing ass... shoving all the shit you wish you could do in your own face? I'm sure they don't want pity, but I can't help feeling horrible for them when I see it. More often than not, I see the forced "I'm having a great time" look on their face, and their buddies with the look that's equal parts "we're having a great time" and "stop staring, asshole". Sad stuff. I don't know- I'm sure they want to normalize themselves as much as possible but that just seems like the most counterproductive way to go about it.

so not only do you hate black people, you hate people in wheel chairs.
we gotta start a wheel chair alliance

I've noticed that you're overly sensitized to such topics, and your knee-jerk reaction is to play the discrimination card. For example, you were the first to conclude that Domesticated was in fact racist because he started the thread genuinely asking questions about black culture. There was nothing racist at all about his queries, yet your first comment was this:

i think there's a racist presumption to the whole thing, that is that black people should have any different attitudes about status in the first place, that the question posed is seen as legitimate. so i think you've already done a good job appearing racist. it's not clear yet if you are being discriminatory or supremacist, but definitely racist.
and i think your objective is pretty vague.
first of all you have to define 'status' in a way that is meaningful across many disparate groups of people.
and you also need to prove that the a black rapper who brag about his 'status' change is somehow more meaningful than a non black person who posts a photo of their child's college graduation on their mcdonalds cash register.
i think you should change your focus from 'black people' to 'hip hop culture'
otherwise it's incredibly racist, ignorant, and academically clumsy. |
Clearly way overboard towards someone with zero racist intent, who had the "nerve" to say "black" instead of "hip hop" and so on.
And here you are, claiming something similar about me; that I must be prejudiced towards people in wheelchairs for the mere mention that I brought up a subject about that particular group of people. I said nothing degrading or insulting about them. I'm not mocking them or making jokes at their expense... simply bringing up a topic to see how others think about it too. Only thing I'm presumptive about is that you must have been indoctrinated into the elitist school of political correctness and social justice, where if one says words like "black people", "wheelchair", "midget" or maybe even "retard" they must harbor some form of latent racism or discrimination as part of their subconscious and are simply not enlightened enough to admit or understand it.
