MODERATORS
Given this is Lemmy/Reddit overspill I think the more unpopular opinion mentioned here would be "you shouldn't be apathetic towards social problems and instead actually try to do something about them"
I've been trying to be more willing to listen recently. Of course there are some people who don't want to have a dialogue and will just post their anger and run. I don't engage with these posts cause the user was looking for a reaction rather than a conversation.
But if someone is willing to explain why they feel the way they do about something, willing to hear criticism, and perhaps even ask me questions, I'm more likely to engage with them.
I may be reading this wrong. But are you saying if you are white, you must behave a certain way(refrain from yelling or cursing, etc...but if you are a minority, it's acceptable to do those things? Or have I totally missed what you are saying?
