Cartography: Huge People

You know what really grinds my gears?.. Little people acting like saying the word midget is like calling a black person the n word. Seriously? I hope they know somewhere deep down that we are laughing at them. I mean, they already thought that, and thats the genesis of the whole little person pc public relations turnaround, but i mean even those of us who would never consider actually laughing at someone for how they are born, are now laughing at them. Whole heartedly i might add.

If we laughed at you before im sure we felt terrible eventually, but now, its remorseless mockery. Not about your size, but the size of your ego. Seriously. You werent stolen from a continent and sold into slavery for hundreds of years, only to be freed but continually subjugated and demeaned in every way especially language. So you were in carnivals and shit. So what. at lest u might have gotten paid. Its so ridiculous to try and compare these two words. And im sure offensive to black people. The word midget comes from midge, meaning a small fly, and was coined in like 1870 something to describe carnival dwarfs. Now i know Stern did a whole row on this and got shit for it, but feel the same exact way. Little people sounds more offensive to me. i know they wanted to subvert the word midget so they went with little people, but the thing about the n word is that its used to describe other things and in conjunction with other meanings all the time. Like when its used to describe lazy behavior or something ghastly like that. No one besides MG uses midget to describe tiny things consistently. Plus im not sure it was ever meant to be disparaging at all. Its actually much less disparaging then the term jazz music. Which is predominantly black music, of african and NOLA origin and influence, and the term Jazz music means, whore-house music. Not because black people are whores, but because its seedy and bawdy rythyms were supposedly fit for a brothel.

Fucking cool it little people. honestly, i know your life is definitely hard. Cant be easy. Fuck people who stare at you and snicker. Really they are scum. but lets get serious, its not the same. i may not have made my point, but the point is clear. You're being pretentious dicks, hangers on, and isolationist. Like you're your own group. I say you're the same. Just born with a specific genetic condition. Usually congenital dwarfism. Should we call u dwarfs? Do we call people with muscular dystrophy musc-dyphs? Or cerebral palsy sufferers palsies? No, cause they're regular just like you. Just say im fucking short, get over it. Cause those of us who are normal will, and those who are fucking assholes are just gonna call you midget anyway. And i swear to god if a little person rapper comes out and starts trying to own the word midget im gonna begin making real mean jokes. You've been warned.
