I might disagree with them and say this really shouldn’t bother you imho, but I would never tell them to keep their mouths shut.
I get that there’s a difference between those two things, but it’s a pretty small one.
I think there is a big difference between telling black people to shut up about what offends/bothers them, and simply disagreeing with them. Believe me, if I were disagree with an African American in regards to something that offends/bothers them, I would so as politely and as sensitively as I could. I would discuss the situation and choose my words very carefully. I’d also try to be as open minded as I could with them.
Except that you keep calling the ESPN auction thing ridiculous.
If something bothers/offends African Americans, I want to know it.
So you can say it shouldn’t?
So I that I can give whatever it is fair consideration and either agree or disagree.
And keep bringing it up long after the conversation moved on…
