I would say Please list your accredited sources that prove your points. Just slinging out the classic you’re misinformed by bigots just shuts down a discussion. List a credible source that says why you’re correct.
I never said I agree or disagree with any of the statements I made. I just said you can talk about them. That everything should be on the table to discuss. You just assumed I believed in them.
Because those are polarizing statements. They should be discussed because inside those conversation there maybe socio-economic discussions and socio-political discussion that may have solutions. But the second someone says you can talk about that; it stops the discussion.
It is so layered and to paraphrase Booker T. Washington will will never have racial harmony u til someone isn’t making a buck off of racial strife. So inside these discussion needs to have a discussion about everything. But what ends up happening is that I believe that we like structure to all conversations. So we build a proverbial box and say these are the things that can and can not be discussed. That’s foolish. I’ll give an example about discussion.
and of course that will happen and the same thing happens on the other side of the issue. These people I believe don’t want a true solution but to be within an echo chamber. People who want a true solution in my opinion will be willing to discuss everything, even the things that make them feel uncomfortable.
