Somebody once tried to tell me that they wanted racists to get treatment. I almost reached through the phone. What are you talking about? But going back a little bit to your point about, you know, why is this language having an uptick? It has to do with eugenics. Like after pandemics, eugenics increases. We kind of like separate ourselves on the basis of who's worthy and who's not.

group of people that have been attached to disability are black people you know taking intelligence tests to vote right because they thought black people were inherently unintelligent because of being black it goes into capacity laws and immigration where we're telling people to stand on their own two feet That has implications with disability.

There's a reason why women were relegated to institutions and lobotomized and had forced hysterectomies. Because they were attached to a disability. There's a reason why queer men have been historically chemically castrated and experimented on. By being attached to disability, this has been our country's legacy. So it doesn't surprise me in any way, shape or form that the R word is coming back.

It doesn't surprise me that people are trying to pinpoint an entire community as the reason why we cannot have progress in this country, whether that be explicitly or implicitly implied through their use of that word.
