The idea that if you generally or publicly support/favour a disadvantaged cause, community, way of life, belief etc but offer a degree of critical analysis or disagreement with any part of its principles then you are instantly seen by many as being 'part of the problem', bigoted, some form of '-ist', an oppressor etc.
Let's start with the obvious. Many of these legitimate '-ist' types of people do try to disguise their opinions as 'genuine debate'.
But not all. It's as if any perceived criticism or unsupportive comment is clear evidence of a much bigger and deeper anti-whatever prejudice that totally negates any supportive words, thoughts, actions you have displayed previously.
Holding a partially negative or critical view of something does not automatically make you the enemy or part of the problem.
Feeling slightly uncomfortable about an idea, way of life, social group, community etc does not automatically make you bigoted and more importantly does not necessarily mean you want it stopped, changed or banned.
Neither does not actively or militantly supporting a cause make you part of problem.
Rant over.....and breathe.
Then got stuck in a half hour traffic jam on the way home so didn't get home til almost 5 o'clock!
And being a minority or persecuted group does not mean it can't ever be wrong/mistaken, or can't act in a negative way.[/FONT]
100% agree
Oh god that brings back memories of a couple of years ago when my sister did that on a tin of spaghetti hoops. Ended up in a hospital trip at 11pm. Scary stuff. Forks. They're needed!
Oh my god I'm so glad that is over!!
