Why does a discussion of racism (as it relates to black Americans) always dissolve . . .

27. Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, eh?

This works both ways you know.

If someone, who may have legitimate grievances and issues, approaches you with rage and insults, how open to rational discussion will you be? Will you be aware enough to recognize they are just raging and it may not directly be about you personally? Will you be aware enough and patient enough not to respond hostilely in return? Will you be cognizant enough to try and carry on a rational discussion with that person with empathy even though they are attacking you and berating you? I doubt very much so, as there is such a thing as good communication and bad communication.

The former can lead to resolution of even the most difficult of conflicts. The later is just dominance games with primates flinging their shit back and forth at each other.
