On Being a Cripple Nancy Mairs is a cripple. She knows it and she chooses this word to describe herself. But why does she choose this particular word? Why not “handicapped” or “disabled”?

There is very little that Mairs can control‚ not her fingers‚ not her hands‚ not her mouth‚ arms‚ and certainly not her fate‚ but maybe‚ just maybe‚ she can control the way you see her. Mairs perhaps chose the word cripple because of the way people

A Futile Being: A Look into the “Black Brute”. BLACK BRUTE. What comes to your mind when you hear this word? Well for me‚ I hear hate and see the look of disgust. For as long as I can remember‚ whites have always felt this way about blacks (Men‚ women‚ & children).The origin of this disgust started when jobs were starting to come to the south. Whites weren’t happy to find out that blacks were “stealing” these jobs from them. These unfortunate events were causing an economic burden on the whites
