Ageism is as odious as racism and sexism.
Racism Age Racist
An individual in despair despairs over something. . . . in despairing over something, he really despair[s] over himself, and now he wants to get rid of himself. consequently, to despair over something is still not despair proper. . . . to despair over oneself, in despair to will to be rid of oneself-this is the formula for all despair.
Individuality Despair Want
Compared with the person who is conscious of his despair, the despairing individual who is ignorant of his despair is simply a negativity further away from the truth and deliverance. . . . yet ignorance is so far from breaking the despair or changing despair to nondespairing that it can in fact be the most dangerous form of despair. . . . an individual is furthest from being conscious of himself as spirit when he is ignorant of being in despair. but precisely this-not to be conscious of oneself as spirit-is despair, which is spiritlessness. . . .
Ignorance Negativity Individuality
What surprises me is-even though discrimination against women and racial discrimination still exist, they have improved a lot, especially among artists. and just when i felt i could finally take a break, i encounter the age discrimination. i turned 72 and started noticing a drastic difference in people's attitudes. i started with racism and sexism in the beginning and fought them so hard and was finally ready to relax. then, here comes ageism, and i feel like, "give me a break!"
Attitude Artist Differences
Just as we reject racism, sexism, ageism, and heterosexism, we reject speciesism. the species of a sentient being is no more reason to deny the protection of this basic right than race, sex, age, or sexual orientation is a reason to deny membership in the human moral community to other humans.
Sex Race Racism
Speciesism is morally objectionable because, like racism, sexism, and heterosexism, it links personhood with an irrelevant criterion. those who reject speciesism are committed to rejecting racism, sexism, heterosexism, and other forms of discrimination as well.

Black writers, of whatever quality, who step outside the pale of what black writers are supposed to write about, or who black writers are supposed to be, are condemned to silences in black literary circles that are as total and as destructive as any imposed by racism.
Writing Circles Racism
Abortion and racism are evil twins, born of the same lie. where racism now hides its face in public, abortion is accomplishing the goals of which racism only once dreamed. together, abortionists are destroying humanity at large and the black community in particular.
Lying Racism Evil
Ending racial discrimination in jury selection can be accomplished only by eliminating peremptory challenges entirely.
