Getting bogged down with nitpicking only hinders the cause.

Again, I ask you WHAT IS “THE CAUSE”?

Note: I’m not asking “some people” or “others”, I’m asking YOU. You said it and I’m asking you to explain what you said/meant.

Also, your statement can only make sense when YOU believe there is a consensus as to what “THE CAUSE” is within the group you’re addressing. In fact, your statement functions as if you’ve established such a consensus with the people/person you’re addressing. That, or you were hoping you could influence the way the people/person you were addressing by viewed the so-called “nitpicking” by raising the specter of the hindered, hampered “CAUSE” you obviously believe they care about.

So, naturally, your TYPICAL (like verbatim, done seen so much it’s like “too numerous to mention) White framing, TYPICAL thinly-veiled threat via the fallacious “you don’t want to hindered THE CAUSE, do you?” type of framing has to be predicated on what you think the other person(s) value as you present yourself as a person who values “THE CAUSE”, the SAME CAUSE they do, to the same degree they do if not more since you’re aware of what “hinders” THE CAUSE.

Your framing is presented as if you have a definitive perspective on what THE CAUSE is. So, please be so kind as to tell us what THE CAUSE is. Then and only then can we tell if said “nitpicking” will “hinder” it and with WHOM because you would have to identify what the “nitpicking” does to all those contributing to THE CAUSE.

PS:

Your “moving on” is also TYPICAL. As typical as your games are transparent.

The little boy that cried wolf, of course, was perhaps someone you would classify as “looking for something to complain about.” And, of course, the message you want to get across, fallacious as it is, as apologetic as it is (“No society is perfect” = you have to excuse said imperfections — an admission the contradicts your “cry wolf” rhetoric)… the message you’re trying to get across “ya’ll complain too much” or, more precisely, “ya’ll complain about every little thing.”
|
Of course, those little things, those little imperfections are supposed to be ignored and, as a result, remain unidentified. The “healing”, the pretentious offer of “healing”, somehow is supposed to occur with those ignoring blinders on because of some “bigger picture” idea you’ve yet to articulate and, by focusing “healing”, it’s obvious that your concern is not with the “correction.” No, you’ve clearly expressed your desire to by-pass that since “We have identified and for the most part corrected…”
|
Complete correction, even complete eradication of what you think “we have corrected” is apparently out of the question. How exactly you think “healing” can begin, much less be completed, in situation like that is beyond anything worthy of being called reason…
|
As far as what you “meant” to say… It was very clear. You specifically made your “two different kinds of hurts” remark in response to No1kstate’s intentional vs. unintentional “stepping on someone’s foot” analogy and you said exactly this:
|
“As for the example of stepping on someone’s foot, no, the force is NOT the same.”
|
You were clearly making the argument that “intent” somehow matters. Both No1kstate and I presented examples were intent doesn’t matter. Those were also examples were the “hurt” wouldn’t differ one bit or in any degree.
|
As for your “obscuring the bigger picture” idea… Now that’s beyond silly. Jessie was clear in how he related the chia pet and Obama chicken “isolated incidents” to the bigger picture when he said people are tone deaf… about the ways that language and images involving race and racism reverberate in the broader culture.”
|
As for your “hinders the cause” notion… QUESTION: Hinder the cause WITH WHOM?
|
Answer that then present the historical evidence to support your claim. But before you do that, please specify what “THE CAUSE” is and how it relates to this idea of it being hindered.
|
This is typical rhetoric that tries to give “THE CAUSE” a mission it never necessarily had. So, yes, Siss… please tell us what “THE CAUSE” is. So far, you’ve communicated that, since no society is perfect and since, in your curious view, everything has been corrected “for the most part”… Well, it’s time to be done with trying to identify or correct anything else. Let’s “heal” (prematurely=not at all).
