In one of my previous post I had mentioned about the "unconscious" racism where we unknowingly use racially toxic words in our everyday conversation. We always talk about problems. Today, let's talk about solution. Let's change our "carefully" ignored racially intoxicated words and phrases from our day to day life to eradicate racism from our society. Here's the one liner rule to start with:
"The words that we use to denote a fellow human, in our everyday conversation, stop using those words to connote a thing or idea that imply anything bad, evil or harmful...and the other way around".
Here are some examples with the word "Black":
Blacklist; Blackmarket; Blackheart; Blackmail; Blackout;
Note: There always will be some people who would knowingly use those words- they are the racially biased bigots. Let's clean the rest of our soles who we use those words unknowingly.
