In reply to the discussion: Fraternity 'Mom' Is 'Heartbroken' Over Video That Shows Her Singing N-Word [View all]ShoreLiberal
(16 posts)Actually, the overly judgmental thing was part of my first post, which your post clearly exemplifies. It appears as though you are prepared to make a judgment on a person based upon a 5 second vine. I thought we on the left were for fairness and justice. We are not supposed to judgmental without fully analyzing the facts. Just take a moment and listen to the song that was playing in the background. Read the lyrics posted herein. If Frat- Mom was pumping her fist on the SAE bus, you are right. But that's not the case here. All we have in this video is a woman singing along with horrible lyrics.
As the document depicted in your profile picture states, people are innocent until proven guilty. It would appear that you have a pretty restrictive view of our First Amendment rights. As a previous poster notes, please tell us who, in your America, is allowed to sing along with which song. Who is allowed to mock it? Who decides which age, race, religion is allowed to sing a song or who is permitted to point out its stupidity? That is the problem with your position that people in the center will never understand, regardless of how well intentioned your outrage is. The point of my post is that we on the progressive side should take a moment to think how to best direct our outrage so that it is understood by the mainstream. Clearly this Frat-Mom's video does not further any progressive agenda, but in all likelihood, achieves quite the opposite result e.g. the presence of an "overly judgmental" left.
