With regards to the use of careless language Gates notes, “To do so is to engage in a pernicious act of language, one which exacerbates the complex problem of cultural and ethnic difference, rather than to assuage or redress it.”
The way we signify our thoughts can be directly tied to anything we have learned, whether that be language or writing. We fill our beliefs with the experiences we have had in the past. The problem is that a derogatory language will always lead to some sort of screen that everyone has to go through whites and blacks.
