I agree with your point & humor — but don't give in to their attempt

to change semantics. Continue to use words as you've always used them — & put their new semantics into the clear, frank wording it deserves.

Everyone WASN'T being "racist" in 2010. And those who insist on writing that new historical narrative — if they really want this new reality for themselves — they can invent a new vocabulary for it too. No piggybacking incisive words from an era they no longer regard as right-thinking. If they insist on doing so we CAN NOT afford to play along.

George Orwell saw this all.

I agree but one of the quotes they included definitely made them seem racist.

The stupid thing (*most* stupid thing) about this and other cancellations, is that the meaning ALREADY WAS CHANGED!

Just to make sure I understand you correctly, you think if people have emotional feelings about something

We should listen and have compassion, yes. Do what they want? Well that's

How can society function when anyone's feelings about anything can change how we do things?

It's a discussion using arguments, yes. But it's not an argument.

Go look at his posting history. There's a pattern there

BYUMizzou

The dumbest thing is that slavery is not racist. Racism came later.

These types of conversations always reference back to slavery. That is the reference point for all of it

RealMadridCougar

Slavery in America yes. Not slavery in ancient Kiev.

StalwartBraveTrue

3/3/21 8:30am

Ok, did you see what I put above about how the slave trade in America worked?

RealMadridCougar

3/3/21 8:48am

Yes. The conversation isn’t about the African continental origins of slavery.

StalwartBraveTrue

Lol, nice cognitive dissidence. Forget how the slaves got here in the first place and what color of skin the people had

I don’t think that term means what you think it means.

So ignore it and it’ll go away? That hasn’t really worked throughout history.
