Oskar, you either completely missed by point, or you just made a joke in very poor taste.

If you think that's what I said, then please re-read what I wrote, and if it makes you emotional, then do something else for a while, then come back and repeat.

When you can read it without getting emotional, then respond to my words, rather than turn them into a false caricature and ignore that I am a person whom you know for a fact is not defending racism or racist behavior.


This isn't the twitterverse or facebook where we falsely caricature each other and talk over each other. This is a group of friends talking with the freedom to post long-form, thought out statements.

We're all friends, here. If we can't listen to each other and understand each other with nuance, then there's no point in discussing this topic, here. We can talk about other things and it hardly matters.


Please. I'm asking all of us to be aware of the emotional rawness that is expected when discussing this, and to be respectful of each other.
If you feel I'm not following my own rules, bring it up. I will apologize and try to be more respectful.
