In reply to the discussion: Why is discussing race on DU considered race-baiting? [View all]katsy
(4,246 posts)I simply stated that race is not a prerequisite to having an opinion about BLM. The validity of anyone's opinion is a subjective judgment. And people tend to find justification for their opinions. Using PBO's to bolster their own preconceptions is not unusual or thoughtless on their part. It's normal when solidifying a position. It is derisive to say that PBO's is valid because he is black but not for you because you are white. That's what I thought was discussed in this op. If I'm wrong, I'll stop. But don't paint me with any broad brush for being wrong. Ill admit being wrong when I understand why. That's what a discussion is about unless you want an echo chamber to stoke your ego.
i did not attack you and would appreciate not being judged on what may be a statement not well thought out on my part. If so, apologies.
I opened a conversation only based on what was stated on your op. I haven't read the original thread as I don't have search option.
