F...evenshine: I totally get what you're saying. For me, the primary issue is for people to 1) Mind their own business; and 2) Engage people as equal human beings. I get the "different worldview" (in your words) but I don't get the anger and hatred. Actually, I do get it, because I used to buy into it 100%. At some point, though, one has to acknowledge how much pain and hurt goes along with being marginalized. I mean, people are dying!<br />Thanks for your comment!The Steel Magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328240056707198233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396296859297638787.post-4219054624041004012010-10-13T11:25:44.831-05:002010-10-13T11:25:44.831-05:00WOW, the post over at CocoaMamas was intense.
As...WOW, the post over at CocoaMamas was intense. <br /><br />As someone holding a different worldview, it's challenging to know how to simultaneously hold to what I believe while delicately (but unequivocally) condemning hateful actions against particular groups. I don't agree with a lot of what CocoaMamas said, but I do agree with your point that conversation has to take place, and we have to quit tiptoeing around it. As a fairly straightforward kinda chick, I say ditch the fear and deal with these issues that come up in your class head-on, but with a positive feeling. There are probably people (like me) who won't agree. That's fine- just as long as it can be talked about calmly and intelligently. Kudos for dealing with it in class!evenshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05216202339896997202noreply@blogger.com
