For fear of being labeled a racist?
(A sports talk radio show this morning in MB caused me to think about this)

Well, I'm not racist. So, theres that.
But, it seems hardly anyone can have an opinion without being labeled a racist or labeled with something.

If you're honest about it you'll find yourself...

wearing the label. Anything said which doesn't blame every race problem since the beginning of time on white people will be a fast path to racism.

I was listening to a local sports talk show this morning when the topic of the recent shootings in MB came up.
I was hoping the radio guy wouldn't cross a line. He was stating facts but often nowadays, facts do not matter.
Anyway, im thinking most of what he was saying, i agree with. I just wont say it publicly. Of course, i try to stay away from politics, religion, race, etc in public anyway.

Under what circumstances are you making public
Jun 22, 2017, 6:26 PM
|
|
statements about race relations? And who is doing the labeling? Do they have some kind of authority where calling you racist leads to some unfortunately result for you?

Funnily enough...

I just wandered into a facebook discussion about the not-guilty verdict in the Officer Yanez/Castile shooting, and was basically called a racist because I didn't think the dashcam video was unambiguous evidence of guilt.
I'm not afraid, but I'm aware of the problem.

"Afraid" is probably not the right word to use. I don't think I'll get beat up or something but i know to try and stay away from this topic on the job, etc.
