(1,730 posts)a message, do not do so in a way that is guaranteed to alienate your intended audience. It doesn't matter why they would be alienated; they will stop reading. So why would someone who is genuinely interested in crafting a message intended to obtain buy-in and perhaps even cultural change from a targeted audience, intentionally alienate so many of the targeted audience?
Ignorance.
As soon as I saw read the title of the post, I just KNEW that the thread would be full of insulted Caucasians. Just as a majority of Blacks, Latinos, or Asians would be insulted by a "A Message to Blacks" title, or "A Message to Latinos", or "A Message to Asians" missive. Most people's initial response is to shut down. So much for a receptive audience.
If you or the OP are truly interested in crafting messages that your target audience might find receptive, most universities offer communications courses.
Now, I have a delicious dinner waiting. I bid you a good night and best wishes.
