SJW’s will have a new word, thing, event, person, historical event....next week. Someone one needs to make a list.
What I always had a hard time with was - knowing if a word or phrase was going to be taken as racist even if the thought of being racist never entered my mind.
Like in my earlier post, using the word "boy" as in "oh boy" - a kind of expletive. Boy are you ever in trouble. Until that moment it had never occurred to me.
In high school, I had gone to Disney world and found a Confederate hat in their tri-corner hat store, so I bought one. Oddly enough, the only person I'd ever
seen wearing one was "Nipper" from Wee Pals. Some guy I'd never met before came at me in the hallway and asked me if that was a hat worn
by people who hate blacks (he was black). I said I never thought about it before. I just liked the hat.
Now - I *get* the general Christian principle that if something causes your brother to stumble - even if it isn't wrong - you shouldn't do it, out of
consideration for someone else. Paul said - I'm paraphrasing - if eating meat causes my brother to stumble, I'll give it up forever. So I get that.
But I have limits. I'm not going to stop using this word or that word that means nothing, because someone just doesn't have good sense.
I'm not going to refrain from using the term "black hole" because someone somewhere thinks it's racist.
