Social Media for Social Good: Ending the “R-word”
The “R-Word.” It’s one of those words that may seem like just another piece of slang thrown into everyday language when describing something stupid, dumb or irrational. However, it is not just another piece of slang. It is an insult to those with intellectual disabilities. This is why the Special Olympics asked individuals to participate in “Spread the Word to End the Word” on March 31st, 2009 – a campaign to raise the consciousness of society about the dehumanizing and hurtful effects of the R-Word and urge people to resolve to stop using it as an insult, casual or intended.

NMS is working with Special Olympics to make Tuesday, March 31st a National Day of Awareness, where we ask ourselves and our peers to gain a greater understanding of the implications of our actions. We want Tuesday, March 31st to be a day where people take a moment to think about the weight and impact of our words.We want Tuesday, March 31st to be about respect and acceptance. On Tuesday, March 31st, we want to help end the use of the R-word – “retard” – forever. And we’re using social media to get there.

Gay, Gay, Gay….
I had written a post about the use of the word “gay” in reference to an AdFreak review from David Griner about a controversial campaign from Ad Council called “Think Before You Speak.” It got a considerable amount of blood pumping from influencers and as a result, my traffic shot up about 1,000% and I received comment love from Griner himself.
