This can’t be real?

[Aardvark86]

Not really.
Let me try you - you think calling the skinny kid 'fag' on the playground is gold.

Belem,

In all seriousness, I say plenty of things people disagree with, sometimes stridently, and there is plenty of political kabuki i don't take even remotely seriously that other people think entails imminent matters of life and death. But i think if you go through my history here, it will actually be a pretty rare thing to find me calling people names. So no, i don't think that's funny.

Y'all just continue the 'violence with words'.
Where's your compassion?


Today, there are approximately two million people incarcerated in the United States’ jail and prison system. People with criminal justice histories are referred to in an array of dehumanizing labels, such as “inmates,” “criminals,” “prisoners,” “convicts,” “delinquents,” “felons,” and “offenders.” Even after people complete their sentence of incarceration and return to the community, oftentimes these labels follow. Terms like “ex-inmates,” “ex-prisoners,” “ex-convicts,” “ex-felons,” and “ex-offenders” are used to categorize and stigmatize people affected by the criminal justice system.

Dehumanizing labels stereotype and marginalize people rather than support them while they rebuild their lives. Individuals with justice system involvement are not defined by their conviction history. The words we use to reference people should reflect their full identities, and acknowledge their capacity to change and grow.

WORDS TO AVOID​	PHRASES TO USE INSTEAD ​
Offender, Inmate, Felon, Criminal, Convict, Prisoner, Delinquent	Person or individual with justice system involvement; Person or individual impacted by the justice system; Person or individual affected by the justice system

Yeah. The poor fellow….

Yeah. The poor underprivileged fellow….

Adopting the language of compassion is a journey, not a destination.

But it's sure funny when Trump or his handlers do it!
