I'm suggesting not live in fear of potentially offending someone or some group of people by mistake.



I don't exactly think a lot of people are living 'in fear'. I mean just look at the goddamn internet/social media.

I think the root of the issue is that people ARE getting offended, and, social creatures that we are, I don't think the majority WANT to offend, so some are considering the consequences of their actions a little more carefully.

The fact that some people - as evidenced in this thread - are thinking a little cautiously (honestly, the possibility of OP causing offense didn't even spring to my mind) given the current climate surrounding matters of skin pigmentation does not equate to living in fear IMO.

I mean after all if you don't care, why are you writing about this whole thing like you do?

P.S - I'm just shooting the shit here, I have no vested interest in the matter.

Republicans tend to like young women who repeat the same right wing talking points that’ve been repeated for the past couple decades eg. Tomi Lahren, Candace Owens, basically any Fox News anchor you can remember off the top of your head aside from Tucker.

The PC culture is producing fear in people and that's not a good reaction. I should be sensitive to other races/cultures/religions because I don't want to offend them. I shouldn't be fearful of retaliation





No you just don't get it. You behave in a gentlemanly fashion as to not cause needless upset in others, for their sake, not because they pose a threat to you.

Respecting the other, ever heard of that?


Quote:

qman said:
I innocently do something that someone finds offensive.





We are LONG past that point. It has been positively demonstrated as offensive. There is no innocence in proceeding now, just a disregard for minority feelings.


Quote:

qman said:

I shouldn't have to examine every action and debate whether it's offensive to some person because of some particular reason. We shouldn't live in fear for just living our lives and offending someone.




Again that fear, fear. Do black peoples feelings matter to you only in as much thay are capable to break a baseball bat on your face? Doesn't wanting to make them not feel bad by your actions, especially on a festive day, not come natural to you?


Quote:

qman said:
Yes, deliberately offending groups of people isn't acceptable and should be dealt with in some manner, but looking for ways to be offended to attack people isn't acceptable either.





That is what this is:deliberately offending someone. His wife said NO, it could be taken as racially insensitive. The thread reactions vary from "fuck them AND their feelings" and "Yes its racially delicate."  That makes it deliberate and not innocent.

Black people aren't looking for ways to get offended. If you start hanging nooses from trees many of them will not be comfortable for obvious reasons.


Quote:

qman said:

The bottom line, stop over analyzing everything and stop living in fear.




Its not about fear, its about taking care not to come off as an asshole Too few Americans are taking care not to come off as assholes which is why you have this intensely divided falling-apart society full of potholes. Nobody gives a fuck about the others anymore, that is your problem. To hell if you offend the black community, hang a noose in your garden. Its your goddamned right as an American.

qman said:
Also, stop looking for reasons to get outraged and offended, it won't serve anyone down the road.




Blaming the victim.

My wife says I can’t hang a skeleton from our elm tree with a noose. I think it’s a good Halloween decoration. I live in a small town and we own a business. I am also a firefighter in said town.

Is it controversial with racial undertones? Would you do this if you had an elm tree and a skeleton?





It is, and if there is backlash in your community because of perceived racial insensity this will hurt the standing of your family and your business within it.

I'm in a position at my company to fire people, if I got a complaint about someone with skele with a noose in the yard had lynched skele, we'd + upper management would have a real long talk, most probably ending with the employees termination.  My work place is one of inclusion, and has been before it was popular.  It's a scientific field, just off the top of my had we Have; African Americans, Latinx.

Thankfully it's only a % of people here that display this attitude, but goddamn, it's so repulsive when one comes across it that it really does do harm to the whole cultural identity of this place.

Just the arrogance of it. And then - as you succintly pointed out - the other side is blaming the victim; 'Well, it's your fault for getting upset'.

There's so much to be gained from, and so much value in, being sensitive towards others.

There's obviously a line, but I don't think it's that blurry?

:asianofapproval:


The whole:

WIFE: "you can't do that, thats racially insensitive."
HUSBAND: "but I think its an awesome garden ornament."

is not equal in value. Racially Insensitve Display by far outweighs Fun Garden Ornament on the list of priorities.

They are not even in the same league.

"Racially Insensitive Display" is why all those statues are coming down. You want to erect one in your front yard to the dismay of your wife.


What are you showing? Describe it.

"Someone who was lynched from an elm tree and left to hang so long nothing but bones is left."

Your wife does not want that image to be part of what defines you in the community.

This is what I was trying to tell you recently about DSHSB in the Pub. Is it such an awesome tradition that it's worth driving people away? I noticed the OP of that thread abandoned it.

As is that the thread that that new girl started?

I'd be all up for dropping something like that from the Pub. That whole thing was pretty cringeworthy but shit like that term takes it OTT IMO.
