That's the problem though....
We're stuck in this situation where to prevent offence to one group you often cause offence to another.
At the centre of it all is this anger and rage.
Now there is often complete justification for that anger
But anger and rage is a major part of the problem.
It only hardens the views of both proponents and opponents.
Use derogatory words to make your point...
Attack the views of others with emotive language and you won't win them over.
It has the opposite effect.
It reinforces and hardens attitudes.
Folks like Gandhi and MLK had the right idea....but push that non aggressive line and that'll probably get you assassinated
