I’m not directly addressing the image. I’m addressing the text.
The text says there are two choices and only one is possible for any individual as their legacy of thought.
The picture is a defining moment in time. It catalyzed change. The legacy of thought that was passed to me was mixed…
That said, can you help me understand how the text message embedded helps move the racial conversation forward? Or how its message is at least not harmful to engaging those who need help to see the flaws in their racial mindset?
Because once I’ve demonized people, I don’t communicate with them as well. I think that’s fairly typical, really.
Right now the post just looks like an empty virtue signal that helps people feel righteous while also erecting bigger walls.
I specifically said some people deserve shame. It’s a lot of words and, tbf, if you didn’t read them all (not an aspersion), I really wouldn’t blame you (promise).
Shame is useful as a way to divide a group. Sometimes that’s justified. That doesn’t mean that it’s always done prudently.
Not arguing against it. Arguing against its ubiquity.
Overall, I’d prefer reasoned argument to innoculate against bad ideas but I dunno that’s always viable.
