Here I am looking up the history of the term "handicap" (not at all what I thought it was tbh) annnd What The Heck Is This @damonrose & @emupton ??

I can& #39;t even read about the history of disability terms without https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦🏾‍♀️" title="Frau schlägt sich die Hand vors Gesicht (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Frau schlägt sich die Hand vors Gesicht (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)"> why??

Just why???

Just in general STAWP compairing every term that can be deemed as derogatory to any of the n-words.

Get our names out your mouth.

And (should be baseline) Stop Looking For Reasons To Use It!!

Fun fact: Disabled Black folk *do* exist

Hi, @BBCNews, can we make sure to get the word "nigger" removed from Damon Rose& #39;s peice "Don& #39;t call me handicapped!"?

Hi, @TodayIFoundOut1 can we make sure to get the word "nigger" removed from Emily Uptons& #39;s peice "The Interesting Origin Of The Word “Handicap”?

Both these pieces were otherwise not bad. I just.. nonBlack folk leave these words alone. We know how y& #39;all love searching out reasons to spell, say, or sign them all the way out. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Gesicht mit rollenden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit rollenden Augen">

Update: @emupton isn& #39;t the Emily Upton who wrote this article. I legit don& #39;t know else of the many Emily Upton& #39;s it could be because I& #39;ve looked. But just in case folk have been tagging her in or massaging her, it& #39;s someone else.

The only other way I can think of for accountability is by commenting directly on the article & letting @TodayIFoundOut1 know that edits need to be made. Also, there& #39;s some other problematic language up there. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2013/12/origin-word-handicap/">https://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php...

Also of course @BBCNews @BBC & @damonrose as well, as that& #39;s where the origional quote came from.
