Endearing Vs Derogatory… You Decide

Okay, so I’m perusing through my Google reader and came across this video of a gay dude repeatedly saying bitch. It got me thinking, how is this okay? I mean if he was straight and called a woman a bitch then all hell would break loose but because he’s gay it’s okay? I call bullshit! No woman should allow anyone to call her that. It doesn’t matter if that person is male or female, gay or straight.

As a culture, generation and society it seems that our standards have been deminished. we degrade our women and they allow themselves to be degraded. We praise ignorance and shun education. This is something that must change. This is not acceptable behavior.

I know that I am far from perfect but I do try and set a good example. At least what I feel is good. But with that, different people have different interpretations of good and bad, or right and wrong. What’s right to one may be wrong to another. There is no clear cut answer as to what either one is to each person, it’s left up to the individual to decide.

I know I got a little off topic but it all relates back to one person being able to say one thing while another can’t. it’s crazy because I understand that it’s not always what you say but the way you say it. I was told that you can say a word in an endearing or derogatory way. The same word just different tone. So the gay dude can call you a bitch in a mean way, but the straight guy can’t. It’s just crazy. I mean I was watching this video and he/she was talking about some woman and calling her a bitch so much that I thought that was her government name. If this video wasn’t by “Timaya“ <— spotted at crunktastical.net but was made by a straight guy named “Timothy” would it be okay? No. People would light his ass up! To me it’s the same as a white person saying Nigger and a black person saying Nigga. Same word, two different tones turning it into an endearing vs derogatory situation.

All in all it’s just not a good look either way. What are your thoughts?
