(2,976 posts)And I don't think you're directing any of your frustration concerning the responses in the OP at me personally. If you felt that I was being hostile that wasn't my intent.
The Op's content was well done. I did not offer any criticism of the message or of the body of the work. It's a message people need to hear.
I haven't asked for a rewrite. And no, you're not wasting my time either.
I hope I'm not wasting yours.
Black Lives Matter
The editors that decided that that would be the title, thought very carefully on how to reach the most people given a subject which is so emotionally charged. As you say: "the message will be difficult for many no matter how it is parsed".
As many here have pointed out to me that just because I don't see it that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The reference being to racism. I thought I had made that clear in what I posted. I know that racism exists. That was apparently missed by some.
That isn't that important, that my view was glossed over, but how it was so easy to miss what I said not once, but three times.
I think it's a discussion we can have. I'll leave it up to you to decide if you want to.
Please pm me if you wish.
Thanks for your time.
