    I don’t understand why you would say it sounds like it’s encouraging violence and then turn around and tell me it’s not. Very strange.

    I’m sure the scenarios you pictured have and will continue to happen. I would bet that dozens or even hundreds of variations have and will continue to happen as well. Different people present things differently, receive things differently, and mull things over differently, or not at all. That’s why it is so important to continue confronting racism and other issues to the best of our abilities. The changes we need to see won’t happen all at once, but if we do nothing, they won’t happen at all.

      I just applied broader definition to this concept. Here’s a post explaining it, we can discuss it there if you want.

      confronting racism if we do nothing

      The mechanics of how to appropriately “confront” the world’s issues worry me a lot. And while I do good in this area, I accept that some ways might be simply counter productive.

      I don’t claim the suggested ways in the video to achieve its goals are counter productive but I do wanna know more about it.

        Thanks for the video! Philosophy Tube had a video on that very topic several years ago. If that’s the angle you were approaching that from, I would opine that your word choice was significantly confusing.

        I ought not discuss any further until I’ve had a chance to actually watch the Innuendo video of topic. Thanks again for the link.
