You can't decide how offended someone should be, as that's their own reaction to you. > You shouldn't expect other people to feel the same way as you either. Prepare to possibly have your feelings hurt.Īnd the reason why I say that is because you come across as quite casual and dismissive about people getting aggravated with you when talking about things, and maybe you're not listening to what they're actually saying. It's fine for other people to think you're an asshole for it, and if I were you I'd grab my friends over a drink or something and ask an honest question: "how do I generally come across to you?". you're fine to be a naturally born careless person, as much as a cop-out that actually is to hand-wave everything away with "it's just who I am," or "I tell it like it is!".

That's not really the question to be asked if we're talking like mature adults, because this isn't anywhere close to as simple as being 'good' or 'bad' (whatever that even means). It might seem extreme or overboard to you, but how much do you know about them to judge that?

You shouldn't expect other people to feel the same way as you either. > I don't get offended by other people's words and I don't expect other people to be offended by my words either. I'm gonna give you the benefit of a response coz I don't think it's helpful to express disagreement through a downvote without attempting to explain why. This also includes being honest about all the contributing factors and accepting that you might be a factor in it.

You have to grapple with it, run it down, understand it, reckon with it, and figure out how to keep life going without it. It isn't enough to rage at perceived injustice. Namely things like Euclidean zoning, statistical redlining, demographic segmentation, the lack of humanity in our methods of effectively dealing with discrimination of criminal offenders simply in need of rehabilitation, and those we need to isolate from society at large.īut no, perpetuation of bread and circuses, the politician's fallacy, scratching the surface, and doing nothing to actually change the underlying structure of the mechanisms and operative factors at work in the world is so much easier. Failure to do so renders one completely blind to the actually extant major sources of systemic racial discrimination that are in dire need of wiping out. I want to make this clear if one thinks something may be racist, one would be well served double checking one's own thinking, and the context behind it first for whether it is the perceiver themselves projecting onto a situation in which none is present. The quote "white hole" is representative of a theoretical region of space where the outpour of mass and energy is so high as to render it inaccessible.Īny value judgement of racial significance being attached to those terms is fundamentally a byproduct of the racially charged thinking of the participants.

A black hole is a stellar remnant of such density everything around it gets sucked in, but can't get out. Again, a result of insertion of racially charged connotations into a context in which there are fundamentally none.
