Labels canonly confine. Aspire to be undefinable. ~ Colin Wright
1. Emo
Is a style of rock music characterized by expressive, often confessional music. Originated in the mid-1980s. Normally, stereotyped as people who cut. Depressed, or dark hair that covers three-fifths of their face. Emo people aren't just white. It means emotion, to be in touch with emotions and to express your emotions. They tend to hide their sadness with smiling. Emo people do not dress the same. Emo people share their feelings through poetry, songs, stories, or speaking it out loud without the three. Society thinks of emo as self-harm or hatred. Social anxiety, morbid things.
Label are for jars....not people
2. Ghetto
A part of a city that is a slum. And just because black people live there does not make it "ghetto" or makes that person ghetto. That word irritates me the most because it is used to much, along with the word "white trash". Being ghetto has nothing to do with the house you live in, the car you drive, or the job you work at. If I could talk about ghetto all day I would but I won't so let's cut it to the chase. STOP CALLING PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN LOW-INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS "GHETTO."
3. The word ''nigga''
This word has a derogatory meaning. It is a word that downgrades black folks. This word was used in 1844-1905. Still used when Martin Luther King and Malcolm X was alive. The black nation uses this word as disrespect. At my school, I still hear white people using the word, too. The little black boys call each other nigga, so the little white boys '' think'' it's okay to throw the word "nigga" around like it's slang. If you only really knew what that word was used for black people my question to you is " Would you keep using it as a derogatory phrase? Like "nigga please."
4. Slut
Omg! You slut! People say this word, especially females, too often. Now, while men are celebrating for promiscuity, women are to feel ashamed. If a person wants to explore their sexuality, let them do it. It's not your place to judge. Slut means "who has many casual sex partners" in a derogatory form. "A woman with low standards of cleanliness" in dated form. Please eradicate this word from your vocabulary.
5. Retard
"You are so retarded!" Should never be used to describe someone with Down Syndrome or any intellectual disability for that matter. Anyways, we need to stop using this word colloquially amongst friends. It's an ugly word that is used to make people inadequate, and we need to eradicate it from our vocabulary.
