What is Ableism?

ABLEISM IS A MORAL FAILING

Ableism is when people see disabled people as being ‘less than’…

Merriam-Webster says Ableism is: “discrimination or prejudice against individuals with disabilities”

It is when a chasm exists because abled bodied people decide that the needs of disabled individuals are, in fact, not needs but demands that can be turned down… Ableism is cruel, and isolating, and ugly.

Ableism is one of the last, seemingly safe prejudice to hold, espouse, defend. I’d say being poor and/or fat are the other two realms where way too many people feel its OK to other folks.

Why the hell is that?!?

I’m not sure, but I think it may have something to do with a universal fear of becoming disabled that causing people to other those who do not live in able bodies and/or with able minds.

It’s wrong.

Whatever the reason, discriminating against someone who is disabled is wrong.
