re: #117 ObserverArt

Is it any more touchy than racism aimed at Blacks and discussing or actual using the “N” word?

We lost a lot of good contributors here at LGF over a comment some time back that dealt with that very subject.

And that one still disturbs me, but I cannot find the way to express what about it disturbs me that won’t cause even more issues.

I think that is the point we are at with much of these discussions. People don’t really want to talk it out. In ways they want to shout it out and everyone take to their corners where they will stay.

Minority groups who have been historically marginalized/oppressed/murdered have the right to decide what is offensive and don’t need to talk it out with everyone else and get approval to be angry. If you don’t get why they are angry maybe it’s because you don’t have the same life lens. I don’t get it but that’s my problem and they are not obligated to explain to my satisfaction.
