General Discussion

Is making the distinction between the person and their actions. "Good" people can do "Bad" things. Telling children they are "Bad" can sometimes cause them to internalize the notion, and act-out as a response. Condemning the action is different from condemning the child. Actions are easier to remedy than personalities. The whole problem with "Woke" is they feel we think they are racists because they do racist acts and talk the racist talk. The fact that they are hurt by this is Telling. Why do they feel guilty about the America of seventy-plus years ago, if they weren't there doing what was done? Why don't they go to church and listen to the homily about "Love thy neighbor" and get on with it. If you love to hate, you hate to love. Can't fix that. I have to love my brother, but I hate my sister-in-law. She's a Q-MAGA Christo-fascist, hateful as-can-be.
Best way forward is to push back respectfully and avoid triggering their insecurities. The world needs them to get a bead and get with the program. So don't hurt their feelings anymore. They might get an insight. It's a Forlorn Hope, but I'll take it if it's on offer.
