Refound video April 2021
Well thought out, well said, I honor Sydney's right to have an opinion I might not agree with. Though, surprisingly to me, I did agree with her on several issues. If you want to be a well rounded person, you should seek out a wide variety of opinions and see where you sit with them.
Last night on my cell phone I bookmarked two of her videos. One called I'm a Conservative and I've Had Enough and the other called White Privilege Is Not A Thing. This morning, neither video was coming up on my computer when I searched YouTube for them to post on this blog. I will try again and post them if I can.
Listening to Sydney I learned I'm a "Classical Liberal" as opposed to a Radical Leftist. (What a relief!)
Free Speech is of supreme importance to me as it is to all writers - all creatives.
I've written in the past about Writer's Block.
Fear is now creating Writer's Block in many who are afraid to accidently (or perhaps purposely) upset someone else in the world. It begins when you are afraid to admit who you are and what you think because the indoctrinaters are everywhere and people - including writers - out there are loosing their jobs, or quitting, even being bodily injured and maimed or killed.
There is no longer a sense of humor or any love, kindness, understanding, or patience. I feel that the anxiety and depression common due to Coronavirus-19 is part of that.
I dealt with this years ago when I went to a college that was so thick with political correctness (of that era) that I seriously questioned what a creative writing program was doing there. Overall, in society, it has only gotten worse.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK OR SAY, these days there is someone who is going to POWER OVER YOU and be insulted.
So let me affirm that you can be against prejudice and bigotry and still want to distance yourself from the tactics of Black Lives Matter.
You are not a Radical Right Winger just because you want police to be retrained but not defunded. (And know that riots in the streets and nightly gunfire as there is in parts of Chicago and Baltimore is not what you want in your neighborhood.)
That you were not a racist asshole when you bought Aunt Jemima pancake mix or Trader Ming's frozen dinners.
That Agreeing to Disagree as Gentlepeople is still an option.
