Cool.<br /><br />Let’s take a look at the word, “cunt”…<br /><br />Pfffffft. Big deal. You know where the word comes from?<br /><br />Cunt means, vagina or vulva, etc. It is clearly derived from words from many ancient Indo-European, Hittite, Sanskrit, and Latin-based Romance languages.<br /><br />Even Chaucer used it in a well accepted sense in, <i>The Canterbury Tales</i> (The Miller’s Tale, line 90, "queynte") to describe the vagina.<br /><br />It’s been around for centuries, but exactly what happened?<br /><br />Someone, no doubt a <strike>cunt </strike>woman, decided along the way (and in lieu of brevity I am not going to get into the details) that the word, in spite of its history and etymology, was a derogatory term for a woman.<br /><br />Whatever…<br /><br />Most women I know do have a vulva, but if that upsets you…Have at it, but most men want it, you control it, and you’re not enjoying the full power of your cunt.<br /><br />Now, let us turn our attention to the word, “nigger”. <i>“Haaaaaaaaaghast. No he didn’t!!?”</i> Yeah, I said that.<br /><br />This word comes from Latin (niger) and a Spanish derivative (negro) meaning black. It was for centuries, merely a colorful adjective.<br /><br />It referred to dark-skinned people, mainly Africans. But guess what happened?<br /><br />Someone, probably some <strike>black bitch</strike> er... <strike>cunt</strike>...er African-American decided along the way, that the term, in spite of its history and etymology, is a derogatory word for people of dark skin and/or African descent.<br /><br />Whatever…<br /><br />I know…I know...It's offensive because “black” people aren't all black or, “niger."<br /><br />Yeah, well white folks aren’t all white. Some are pasty white, pale, and/or more of a peach color or variations thereof.<br /><br />Whatever…<br /><br />It’s just a general description, people!! Does that really annoy you? If it does? Have at it, and revel in your racial superciliousness.<br /><br />Listen, I am not advocating the use of the aforementioned words, but try this…<br /><br />If a person calls you a cunt, just laugh and say, <i>“Yeah, I have one and you’ll never get it.”</i><br /><br />If someone calls you a nigger, just laugh and say, <i>“You are very observant.”</i><br /><br />My point is this…<br /><br />Derogatory terms are only derogatory if we lend them credence.  If one believes in him or herself, these words shouldn't have any effect.<br /><br />In fact, if someone directs either of these terms at you in an angry sense, you probably don’t give a shit about that person anyway.<br /><br />People who use terms in an attempt to elicit an angry response are prime examples of this adage:<br /><br /><i>“The greater the ignorance, the greater the dogmatism.”</i><br /><br />If we react in an angry way towards the slings and arrows of those types of slurs, we devolve into a level of their ignorance, especially if their words are baseless.<br /><br />If however, we believe in ourselves, walk away, and without response, realize that we are good people…<br /><br />Over time, those words used in a derogatory fashion will lose their effect, and much like the original meaning of those words, will fade into the past.<br /><br />But let me tell you…When Quvenzhané Walli had her name read as a Best Actress nominee  She yukked it up and clapped for herself like a little school girl, and well... acted like a cunt.  A nigger cunt at that.<br /><br /><i>Cheers!!</i><br /><i>Matt-Man</i><br /><a href="mailto:mattmaniws@ymail.com">mattmaniws@ymail.com</a><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/MattMan_IWS" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">@mattman_iws</span></a></div>
