US--After centuries of playing an integral role in the application of justice, another tool from the era of racism—4004 BC to 2021 AD—is now passing on, only to be remembered as a stain on previous generations. As our country’s current populace paves the way for posterity to achieve bliss at all costs, it has become apparent that there is no longer a need or even a possibility to apply what was previously termed “reasonable man doctrine.”
The obvious first problem is that “man” is included in the title. No modern terminology should include non-non-binary terms, and such an oppressive, misogynist one at that. A second, sneaky issue is using the word reasonable. Since the term originates prior to 2020 AD, “reasonable” must mean something racist, something to propagate white supremacy. After all, Adam, the original racist from Eden, was allegedly formed in a “likeness” which is believed by some groups to be construed as “reason.” The very reason for cancelling the doctrine is summed up by its definition, which does not take into account the feelings or oppression of minorities. If something originated by a white man, it must only be for white men.
With peaceful demonstrations operating under the novel understanding that we are all equal under the eyes of those in authority, we have seen how much progress can be made by moving away from problematic terms like “reason” and “man.” The epitome of the progress we all seek is exemplified by the wonderful, newly-formed society known as CHAZ. This paradigm of human interaction understandably puts the well being of the whole in front of any individual, and it begins by eliminating all outdated elements of law that included oppressive terms. Reason should be limited to speaking your truth.
Tech leaders have thankfully taken the initiative to remove racist terms and ideologies from the Internet, cutting white supremacists off at the knee by limiting their information flow, so there shouldn’t be any worry of finding misinformation anymore. Now only the real history is being taught, the history that shows how the “reasonable man” has put down the real people, minorities and women. Any political leaders who are not part of a minority group must unexceptionally be racists and bigots, unless they ride the new wave of intelligence and fight for ancient terms to be shelved as “basically” Jim Crow.
