You’d be surprised. There are college courses on ‘rispek’. All to appease the perenially offended ethnic group. You remember Otis Redding’s and Aretha Franklin’s song “Respect”? There must be some history in black culture dating back a century or longer that is associated with it. I can dig that. But this ‘respect’ thing as an entire life’s philosophy is taking it beyond the absurd. On the positive side, it contributed a good verb to the English dictionary “to diss”.

Those newly coined verbs make me want to scream.

This is the result when you give everything to people and convince them they’re above the rules.....an imperious sense that they have the right to be fawned over and treated “speshul.”
