Actors and Singers need to stop using the word retared in their lyrics, and words.

The Issue

Just heard Eminem and Beyoncé New song" Walk on Water". I don't like the fact that he clearly uses the word retared in his song like it is okay. When you have kids like ours that have a disability and they look up to these pop stars and actors and actress, they need to held accountable for there words. The word retared is a very strong and very hurtful. As we don't define our kids with that word, that word means a lot.  By signing a petition I am hoping they get a good understanding that by what they say and how they say it would encourage them to be more understanding to our kids and for those that look up to them.
