    In the UK, “sp – – z,” which is derived from the word “spastic,” is viewed as a derogatory slight against people with cerebral palsy — a congenital disorder of movement, muscle tone or posture caused by abnormal brain development during gestation.

    They call Cookies , 'Biscuits' over there, but we don't change the way we speak.

    Seriously, people need to get a life, plus don't think Beyonce is making DISS SONGS about cerebral palsy.
    The Woke-ism is people thinking everything is about them and related to them.

    When Da Baby made a joke about gay dudes in the parking lot, that was clearly a joke, he was on stage with 50K people in Miami, he can't see what people are doing in the parking lot.

    He got canceled for that and Chappelle made a joke about the stupidity of it.

    we aren't changing the definition of cookies!

    Beyonce shouldn't change SPAZ, we all know what she's talking about it
    it's not CEREBAL PALSY

    Again, misappropriation of the term "woke". That's not being woke.

    This would be PC ...but yea, that term is so 2010 so the naysayers need a new shiny dog whistle.

    These cerebral palsy chicks in England probably don’t listen to Beyoncé or know about Houston southern slang
