There’s a clear campaign against the mentally ill with the global rise of fascism. Lots of it shows up in anti homeless rhetoric, but you can see it in the MAHA and anti vaccination movements.

There’s no reason to use the word “r-tarded” to describe someone. As someone who’s worked with the intellectually challenged, it’s an insult to them to compare them with people who are willfully ignorant.

    You don’t add darkness to something to make it black, you subtract light, color, energy etc.

    Except you do, when you’re using additive mixing (I.e paint)

    I’m not saying it’s that it’s inherently racist. I’m saying that black people rightfully dislike that “black” is associated with “negative”

    But I think saying black is negative and white is positive has both scientific and mathematical origins.

    It has neither.
