Shut Up, You Disabled Assholes

If you're physically disabled, you want the general population to value you as a person and not as a dire warning of a man's mortality. You want to be treated with the same dignity and respect that all other types of people are treated with on television - you don't want to have sappy made-for-tv movies made about your disability, you just want to be an equal in a society of equals, and you won't rest until you accomplish this goal.

However, if a person looks to find their identity on television, all they're going to find there are stereotypes. White men are stereotyped, black and Hispanic men are stereotyped; women are stereotyped and for Christ's sake, the goddamn kids are even stereotyped. If a person goes looking for their personal identity in the media, all we're going to have is a society of Everybody Loves Raymond husbands; abrasive, fat ass Roseanne wives, children modeled on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and an even greater percentage of people who cannot find a niche to cloak themselves with that feel out of touch with their society more than all of you crippled motherfuckers. If you're a fucking retard, then you probably don't even know the color of your own shirt, let alone the stereotypes that flicker across the screen.

Look at me, don't look at me; pay attention to me, but if you pay attention to me I will be so fucking offended. I'm so sorry you don't have legs that work, or you can't turn your head or lift your arms; maybe you can't see or count to seven, but it's not my goddamn fault. Why should I be punished with your disability when it affects people in a tiny little percentage of the population in the third most populated nation on earth? How much sense does that make? Diversity is good for people of different races, religions and creeds; it's not so hot when the only things you bring to the table are some shriveled legs, some drool and a bad fucking attitude.

People of different colors and creeds are absolutely demonized in the media. In the past it was black and Hispanic Americans, and now along with those two put-upon races, Arab and Muslim people across this country are stereotyped as murderous terrorists who live right next door to all the good, hardworking white folk. As targets for an increasingly virulent level of hate from the populace, shouldn't we, as a society, be trying to prevent the eventual murders of Arabs and Muslims who have no intention of blowing up any buildings? Doesn't our society have an ethical obligation to stamp out this type of sightless ignorance? Where do people who only have a self-esteem issue get off saying that they can lay claim to self-righteous television characters before people who might actually be killed if they don't stand up and get represented in a hurry before the ravening white barbarian men tear them to pieces?

I give as much a damn about your feelings as you do for mine. But wait, I'm hale and hearty, both legs, both arms, sight in both eyes, and the last time I checked I could count not to seven, but to twenty. Obviously I am the enemy of every put-upon disabled person, not just in the United States, but in existence. So fuck off, you stupid disabled assholes, before I force you to reenact the slow-mo bus jump scene from Gone In Sixty Seconds in your stupid goddamned wheelchair.
