yeah thats a good point.
so
nice decoration < naw it could be offensive to black people
but
could be offensive to sexual assult victims < its a funny acronym.
is it that people possibly thinking you are dog whistling for racist ideas is worse in your mind than possibly offending rape victims? or is it that humour is more important than decoration and therefore worth the sacrifice?

He did say "point taken" so I think he may be reconsidering his stance about the other topic.
I think it's important to distinguish between being "offended" as it usually means in the modern era (i.e. I delight in the opportunity to point out your offense) vs a person with traumatic life experiences who is essentially forced to relive them when reminded of them by something. "Safe spaces" and "trigger warnings" etc get a lot of flak but they were originally supposed to be about accommodating the latter group.

Make it two skeletons hanging each other, it’ll hopefully confuse everyone who tries to politicize it.

Make ur whole house into a skeleton village called the bone zone and throw an orgy rave. A meeting of the minds and a meeting of the bodies. A celebration of the flesh. Skeleton men will beat large bone drums rump pump pump rump pump pump one will play a single note all night on a skin flute. It will not take long till all in attentance are seized by the spirit of these horrible rights and give thier bodies to be mangled. The sights and sounds of the skin flute the vibration of the drum will lead to a trance induced ecstasy which will not allow thought of self. Day after day night after night the drums will beat a frenzied tattoo until it becomes maddening. The debauchery will continue for the higher glory of the pegan bone God whos followers know no limits in their thirst to appease their feared demon God. Every sense is shocked to the extent these diluted people will go. This goes on hour after hour and the last one is no less hectic than the first until it is over.

qman said: 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.
Quote:
qman said: Also, stop looking for reasons to get outraged and offended, it won't serve anyone down the road.
Blaming the victim.
Calm down already, I was speaking in generalities and made zero reference to the OP. Your replies are therefore moot.
