Spread the Word to End the Word!!

Posted by Mrs_AOK on Mar 7, 2012 in Hot Topics | 0 comments

I hate when people use hurtful words as adjectives! I don’t necessarily think they do so to be hurtful but it has become part of our speech. I hate that we have evolved as people who say harsh words as adjectives and cannot see how those words can affect others…

I hate the word hate… but hate is the word I have to use when others speak with no thought. That is why I could not be happier to see that other people want our speech to change. People want words that can hurt out of our dialect; today marks SPREAD THE WORD TO END THE WORD. The word they are speaking of the R-word

Please think before you speak… and go sign the pledge to support the elimination of the derogatory use of the r-word from everyday speech and promote the acceptance and inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities {r-word }.

99 Problems but the B Word ain’t one!

First off congratulations to Jay-Z and Beyonce on the birth of their daughter Blue Ivy. Jay-Z marked the birth by releasing a new song entitled “Glory“, which is a tribute to his daughter. Jay-Z has been known to use some harsh lyrics in the past, and making many upset with his lyrics especially feminist groups. Why, because he uses the word B*tch {99 Problems but a B– ain’t one}. However, with the birth of his daughter his tune has changed:

Before I got in the game, made a change, and got rich,

I didn’t think hard about using the word B—-.

I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it

now with my daughter in this world

I curse those that give it.

I never realized while on the fast track

that I’d give riddance to the word b—, to leave her innocence in tact.

No man will degrade her, or call her out her name

the women won’t despise her and call her the same.

-Jay-z

What do you think of Jay-Z’s change? Did you listen to Glory… I have to say I like to hear a softer side of Hova.

Love, Honor, Respect

Three very simple words…._Love, Honor, and Respect_. Something
we’ve been taught, and teach our children.

Today, more than ever though, we are in a desperate need to shift our
thought process of what it is we want from our children. With so much
going on around us– isn’t it important to sit quietly and give them
time to decompress while sharing what happened in their life today, or
to hear what their favorite color crayon is?

Love is really all we need to give, and when disbursed in a sincere
and caring way, it will supply our children with every feeling of
completeness they will ever need.

Honor allows our tots to teens know, that no matter what person,
gadget, or situation, they know the importance and will handle each
with respect.

Respect is _R_ealizing _E_veryone’s _S_pecial _P_eriod – _E_veryone
_C_onnects _T_enderly.

Love, Honor, and Respect is what allows our young children turn into
healthy and happy citizens.
