Hate, Hate, Hate!

The word 'hater' is one of the most misused words in casual american vernacular, and besides that I'm just plain sick of hearin it. It was originally intended to mean a person who makes groundless criticisms of a person, place or thing purely based on they personal feelings and with no root in the actual merits of the thing in question. It seems to have expanded to cover even legitimate points, as long as they're negative and directed at something. Now you can't make an observation on anything without bein called a fuckin hater. If I say Weezy's new work can't touch his old shit (even tho it don't...all you gotta do is listen...) I'm a hater. If I say skinny jeans look gay on men, oh, I'm a hater. If I go to a restaurant 2 straight days and think the food is better the 1st day, they'll prolly call me a fuckin hater the next...what? Seriously?

Ill tell you what that shit has become...a crutch. Its a response 4 those who don't have responses. If you don't got an actual rebuttal...fuck it, call em a hater...that'll show em! On some real shit, that's only a small step above 'Oh, yeah?!' as a comeback. If you ask me what I think about that 'jerk' song, and I say its one of the stupidest things I've ever heard actual functioning human beings attempt to call music, I'm not hatin...you asked my opinion, I gave it. Sucka. Oh, and 'hater' is not valid in political discussions. I was in a discussion about healthcare and I said Barry O was wrong for backin off his initial plan just because some folk didn't like it...I mean, I thought it was a good plan. The person I was talkin to had the nerve to say I was just hatin on Obama. Word, dickhead? Needless to say, that was the end of that convo. Let's not even get into the fact that everybody and they fuckin parole officer think they got 'haters'...what do you even do special to hate on? Is there some kind of hater assignment bureau where folk go to get haters? Who's even thinkin about you, honestly?

Do you understand that by your defintion, everybody that don't like something or doesn't think its as good as other folk do is hatin? Does that mean the whole country just spent 8 years 'hatin' on George Bush? It def means that means vegetarians be hatin on meat, celibate folk are hatin on sex, if I think sumbody breath stink, I'm hatin on they hygiene and anybody that has food allergies...man, there ain't nothin wrong with them...that's just a hater reaction! Get that hate out your heart for that food and you'll stop gettin hives, right? Get that shit outta here...legitimate, actual criticism is NOT hate...its just that person's opinon (or hell...maybe a fact). Cut that shit out right now...I demand 'hater' be clearly defined for all and used the right way. Hate on that, mafucka.
