Relevant text from a Facebook thread with a friend of a friend 1 of 2: Him: "Nuck Fuentes is retarded. What is said is so stupid its funny." Me: "do you know anyone who is, or has in their life, someone with Down Syndrome? I would guess not." Him: "Multiple people..... Why you ask?"
Relevant text from a Facebook thread with a friend of a friend 1 of 2: Me: "your use of the R word, as a slur." Him: "What does that have to do with people that have down syndrome. I dont know that much about Nick. I tried to listen to him a month or two ago to see what it was all about. I am pretty positive he does not have DS." Me: <directs him to two links> thearc.org/blog/the-truth-about-the-rword/ specialolympics.org/stories/impact/why-the-r-word-is-the-r-slur
Could this guy be this clueless?
How can people so far away from conversations that have been going on for years? Is he being glib?
(This guy is a conservative leaning friend of a very liberal friend on facebook.)

Brilliant citizens giving the president the business about the #Rword
So tasteful and respectful
More than he deserves!
Thank you self advocates!! Standing up for yourself is not always easy but it IS always the right thing to do. This generation of people with Down syndrome will change the World.

After President Donald Trump used the word "retarded" recently, social media posts including the term tripled, fueling a trend that has disability advocates on edge. #disabilities #rword
President Donald #Trump used the word "retarded" — a term that many people with #disabilities find offensive — to describe a fellow politician in a social media post. #rword
This is BY FAR the stupid comment I’ve ever received on a video where I literally talked about ableist hatred being promoted by the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. #autism #ableism #rword #rslur #timwalz www.youtube.com/live/CA0xRXR...
reuse recycle repeat ♻️
legends tell, there was another word starting with re-, but they consider it taboo nowadays 🙊

#SpecialOlympics is making a plea with Kid Rock after the musician said the R-word during a live television broadcast to describe what he was going as for Halloween. #disabilities #rword
ANYONE KNOW WHAT HE MEANS?
Apparently Kid Rock is dressing up for Halloween wearing a Doctors mask and identifying as the "R" Word! I am so confused? The only thing I could think of was:
Raggedy-ass
Reprobate
Riffraff
Rancid
Rat-fink

REMEMBER: While #ZUCK & his facebook #CENSORS are STILL hard at work removing any references to #RAPISTTRUMP using the #Rword, HE BOASTED ON TV that he had "SEX" WITH HIS DAUGHTER! WATCH IT ON YOUTUBE!
Why, why, why are people, who claim to be allies, like this?
Please block this person to demonstrate to them that hate speech has consequences. I reported them from the (now deleted) original post. Blocked, and done.

Screenshot of Facebook conversation. Briggman says: “Retarded is not a bad word, though.” Wall of Jank says: “Yes, it is.”
Oh no, no, no! We are not doing this! #rslur #rword #abelist #abelism #Facebook #Meta #hatespeech
