Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

White Privilege / Race Baiting

HOW IRONIC

 There are those who believe that White Privilege is not a "thing", a phony term that means nothing, but to injure white people.

 Often though the same people who argue thus will themselves use the term Race Baiting, which they consider a real term, as opposed to a phony term. 

 YET - who uses the term Race Baiting?

 A couple of perspectives:

If you're confused about what race-baiting is, here's a bit of context


NOTE:
Right-wing outlets like the Drudge Report, Fox News and the National Review use the term “race-baiting” frequently and liberally. Drudge conveniently catalogs its use of the term for its readers.

WHERE DOES RACE-BAITING COME FROM?

In the 2010s, conservative politicians and political commentators began appropriating the term race-baiting to refer to minority activists who they believed were provoking racial hatred against white people

SO, THIS PICTURE BELOW - is it an example of White Privilege or an example of Race Baiting?
