Kanye West is being condemned for using the R-word
Jordan Kough, the Executive Director of the National Down Syndrome Congress took a jab at Kanye West while talking with TMZ over the rapper’s use of the r-word.
He claimed that the epithet is hateful to people who suffer from disabilities. In addition, he expressed his disappointment over seeing West proudly embracing it despite knowing how offensive it is.
Moreover, Kough said on behalf of the NDSC that the r-term removes humanity from people with disabilities.
He further encouraged the 45-year-old rapper and other influencers to be aware of the power behind their words.
Meanwhile, Marlene Sallo, the Executive Director of the National Disability Rights Network also shared her feelings over West’s behavior.
