Speaking on the One NYCHA podcast, Senator Chuck Schumer referred to mentally disabled children as "retarded." That word has long since gone out of favor with those who seek to destigmatize children and adults who are developmentally disabled.This initiative will actually house the homeless population that is actually living on our streets," the host for the New York City Housing Authority said. "We see them every day, and we are about to house them, and they are against it! It's unbelievable." The full recording of his appearance is on Facebook.
"Yes," Schumer said. "I have found that my whole career. I wanted to build, in my first, in Assembly.
If anyone could spot a retard, it would be Chuckie. He sees one in the mirror every day, and he is surrounded by them at work.

That comment shows that Schumer is living in the past.

RETARDED is the medial word. The diagnosis follows low IQ along behvioral measurements.
Finding fault with it is the same as a woke person finding fault with a Lucinne post typed in Caps.

UpChuck is a despicable person, and I love anything that makes his life more miserable, but really, this is just a stupid as hell "much ado about nothing" bunch of foolishness.
Regardless of what word you use....the people are the same. The term is just irrelevant.

To all those liberals who would crucify the Republican who would make such a statement, you are hypocrites. But don't worry, the media will cover your lies.

I don't agree with Senator Shumer on most things, but for multiple decades the word "retarded" was perfectly acceptable. We now live in a world of 1984 speak. I'm waiting for Sherlock Holmes stories to be banned because of the use of the word "niggardly" meaning a reference to being miserly in giving. If you see a worthy cause, folks, don't be niggardly in giving.

Schmucky has known slow people as "retarded" for most of his life. Look up "retarded" in the dictionary and you will find many other adjectives meaning the same thing. Language changes are not instantaneous but sensible changes take place over time. Colored people (N-word), Indians, Crackers, Rednecks, Hunkies, Pollocks, Dagos, Krauts, Micks, Russkies, were all once acceptable nicknames and now are not. All of us have gotten over the indignity except for one particular race that hasn't gotten over anything. Even "Eskimo" has gone the way of the dodo. Schmucky will get a pass on this one but conservatives must keep up to the minute on this information and are slapped down viciously if they miss one. This nation, however, is still America and you have a choice to go along with the language police or tell them all to go pound sand. I choose to keep up only with information that means something.

That is probably the least of what he says in private.
Kiss Freedom of Speech goodbye.

#8, Rooskie is what Russians say......"Rooskie food" would be a normal thing for them to say when describing Russian food.

#4 is correct. My niece works with adult retarded (and goes to work with a smile on her face. I wouldn’t last 10 minutes). I asked her what was the proper way to refer to her “clients”. She said Mental Retardation is the proper term.

As much as I dislike Schumer and I dislike him a lot, I don't think this is anything. Retard means slow. It is nothing more.

Retarded comes from the French “en retard” meaning “late”.
I’m with #4 and #7
