Dear Billy Yow: "Roch Smith is just another one of these bloggers that’s going to change the world with whatever they do."


Is demeaning rhetoric bigoted if verbs and/or adjectives
describing multiple nouns
are interchangeable with dissimilar multiples of nouns,
like Muslims, Blacks, those who beileve Y, such persons,
some who believe X, Jews, Whites, Devil Worshipers etc…?

"ster·e·o·type n.

1. A conventional, formulaic, and oversimplified conception,
opinion, or image.

2. One that is regarded as embodying or conforming to a set image or type.

gen·er·al·i·za·tion –noun

1. the act or process of perceiving similarity or relation
between different stimuli, as between words, colors, sounds,
lights, concepts or feelings; the formation of a general notion.

...a stereotype negates individuality
and does not leave room for interpretation.

One person in a group is exactly the same as all the rest.

A generalization, though,
is using a general idea about a group for further inquiry."

Generalized Stereotype / Stereotypical Generalization
Why did many white religious institutions
teach congregants that God supported racial segregation?

Crude classifications and false generalizations
are the curse of organized life


H G Wells
Should we hate, slur, scapegoat, resent, envy, stigmatize
or stereotypically generalize when threatened?

It is an unmistakable lesson of history that when one group of people
starts to see another group of people
as ‘other,’ or as ‘different,’ as ‘undeserving,’ as ‘inferior,’
ill treatment inevitably follows.


Air Force Reserve Major David J R Frakt
"[Guilford County Commissioner Billy Yow] called [Roch] Smith
an “extortionist.”"

Binker

Why did Billy Yow call Roch an extortionist
and why didn't Mark Binker explain what was meant?

We might not change the world, but we can make life mighty uncomfortable for certain politicians and journalists.
