Putting women's faces on US Currency? President Obama wants it.

86. And of course, this will be continuously dragged up again and again,

with sarcastic "disclaimers" to ridicule those who believe that words and language actually matter, and has an effect on society. That slurs matter.

I once read a comparison of the use of slurs with Chinese water torture - each slur is but a small drop on the forehead, innocuous in itself, something so many of us experience should we happen to be outside when it starts to rain. But while the rest of us can go inside when it rains, minority groups are forced to experience drop after drop after drop after drop on their forehead, being unable to do anything about it except speak out against the use of slurs. So you can be darned sure I will speak out when I see slurs, because as an able-bodied white woman, I have privileges disabled people, and people of color do not have. I would rather use my privileges to make this world a better one for everyone in it, as a true progressive, rather than sneer, make fun, and ridicule.
