Now, do you still say nobody is victimized by people celebrating themselves in public?
The fabric of our county is built around personal freedom, as distasteful as it may be. Although that’s not what this tread is about.
The point that is being sidestepped is that such divisive displays of personal preference don’t do anything to promote an inclusive workplace.
I wonder if there’s a difference between people celebrating themselves and the intrinsic aspect of themselves that was used for millennia to oppress, ostracize, and justify killing them... and the KKK advocating hatred and white supremacy.
Do you really think those are equivalent in any way? One is a positive celebration about oneself and the other is a show of negative hatred of and imagined superiority over others.
