Via eepalm93's You Tube Channel: I think that using the "R-word" is one of the most derogatory terms that someone can use.

This video is for my sister, Laura.
Via Shannie129's You Tube Channel: The use of the word "retard" or "retarded" is hurtful. My sister has Down syndrome and I am her biggest supporter. Please support her and all of the amazing people in our lives who have to live with people being so mean. Pledge to end the use of the word.
