At the risk of just beating my head against a pole, against the advice of others and their better example, I’m going here one last time : you’re not Black.
Empathy is, IMO, a necessary condition for reasonableness in human affairs, to be able to predict the outcome of your actions on fellow human beings, and you have shown zero empathy for the situation of Black Americans here.
On what do you base this claim?
I think it’s eminently reasonable to expect a large proportion of people living as an oppressed minority under a White supremacist system to experience some form of psychic trauma on being confronted with unsolicited, unexpected, unwanted imagery of one of the worse parts of that White supremacy.
…and you base this on?
I’m basing my opinion on the evidenced reactions of not just Walker, but other African-Americans in media over the years, on receiving Klan-related imagery.
By that weasel word I bolded, I take it yo you are wanting to call her a liar, but hedging your bets?
You’re not acting as a “reasonable man” in this situation.
Note that the “reasonable man” standard is not the same thing as “the average person”.
Weasel word noted and bolded.
Big picture, smaller words. You are very much mistaken as to where in the email the actual message was. Walker saw it quite clearly.
