AOG - // /// That is a spurious argument - the notion that one black man does not find gollies racist, therefore no black person should is simply not sustainable. ///
Couldn't the same be said if one black person found the gollies racist, then every other black person would also? //
That's not what I actually said.
What I said was, because one black person does not find gollies racist, then other black people SHOULD NOT FIND THEM RACIST' is an illogical argument.
Your are asking if one person found gollies to be racist then should other black people WOULD FIND THEM RACIST ALSO - which is not the same point.
The point is, no individual speaks for their entire ethnic group about anything, ever, this is simply one more example of that.
Therefore the notion that because one black person is not offended, there is no offence to be taken by any black person, is not a logical argument.
