Post Black ice is a problematic term Knoxville News Sen
Black ice is a problematic term Knoxville News Sentinel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
This is the time of year we hear warnings from the media and other public figures about the dangers of "black ice" on our roadways. Let's consider the key difference here: Ice is bad,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], often hidden and dangerous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but water? Not so much. It is clear that "black" is being used here as code for "bad,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], mysterious,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hidden,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], frightening and dangerous."
This use of black as a negative is not only highly problematic from the perspective of racial code, identity and sensitivities but is less clear than other adjective choices. Dangerous, hidden or hazardous seem more helpfully descriptive terms for road ice and convey no problematic meanings.
When you think about it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], no adjective for road ice is really necessary. It seems enough to simply refer to the possibility of ice on the roads. Every driver understands that ice can be dangerous. It could be helpful to remind us of the possibility of "hidden" ice. It is hidden precisely because it appears no more black than nearby pavement that is merely wet. Thus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], black ice is both functionally useless and socially problematic.
Language is powerful,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. no joke,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Don't you remember the state legislature (I think in Mich--not sure) that filed complaints against his fellow cogressman because it was said that "putting money in this project is throwing money into a black hole",[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
RACIST!!!
Political correctness IS the death of us. time to say "Kiss my a**. I'll say what I want when I want. I'll say it without malice or ill intent,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I'm tired of walking on eggs trying so hard NOT to offend someone I'm offending myself "
Black ice. Really,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], some people need to get over it already and quit trying to turn everything into a racial issue. Black Ice has nothing to do with race and if you're offended by the common nationwide term,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you need to get over yourself. I really can't believe your ignorance. He obviously has some serious issues that have nothing to do with ice. Ice doesn't have anything to do with race.
Black ice is called Black Ice because it blends with the road color of the black tar and can't be seen. Really, some people need to get over it already and quit trying to turn everything into a racial issue. Black Ice has nothing to do with race and if you're offended by the common nationwide term,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you need to get over yourself. I really can't believe your ignorance.
