It comes back to the woke ideology. That white folks…living in the present…are somehow inherently guilty for the sins of our fathers. I don’t believe that. But the more this gospel is preached in schools like DUKE, and many others, the greater likelihood that we’re going to carry the “baggage” of manufactured racism around. We are all innocent of ANY racism until proven guilty. The woke movement turns that truth on its head.dastardly stem wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 1:51 pmMGs defensiveness for BYU comes off as too victorious and appears to relish a bit too much as if BYU is a targeted victim with out any baggage it’s lugging around.
I think it would be helpful for her to make a public comment of some sort at this point. Unless I’m mistaken, she’s remained rather mum in response to the investigation and findings that have come about as a result of her accusations.dastardly stem wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 1:51 pmI don’t mean to say that Richardson is a bad faith actor here.
You’re really not helping your cause, mg, by equating this to the smollett case. You fly off the handle convicting her godmother and have decided she made it up. I’d caution again to take it down a notch or five. Linking a terrible foxnews piece about the unfortunate event here is missing the whole boat. You still don’t know what happened.MG 2.0 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 4:07 pmIt comes back to the woke ideology.

And that’s dangerous.
We can see the unfortunate results manifest in our society and in unfortunate incidents like that which we’ve just witnessed at BYU. Two teams playing volleyball and it escalates into a racial divide based upon the conditioning of a young vulnerable black athlete.
Think of the influence Rachel Richardson’s godmother had on her upbringing. And then to have that reinforced by the woke ideologies prevalent in our society. These are disasters just waiting to happen. Disasters? Yes. Every time these things happen:

the culture becomes conditioned to “what ifs” and we’re always looking for ‘guilt’ rather than innocence. Not to say there aren’t bad actors out there. But I think we need to look at each other in a loving fashion rather than pre judge each other as racists, homophobes, and the like.
This post only got worse. You should just delete that nonsense if you ask meAnd before anyone brings up BYU’s response to the trans community pamphlets again as being somehow ‘over the line’, let me remind you that BYU is a private institution run by a church that teaches certain religious doctrines which conflict with the actions and practices of the trans community.
This is, in a sense, a separate issue.

No. She should not. If she did she’s likely to let everyone know she heard a racial slur and you can’t really tell her otherwise. We all should move on.MG 2.0 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 4:14 pmI think it would be helpful for her to make a public comment of some sort at this point.

I didn’t and I won’t. I continue to stand by everything I’ve said in this thread in regards to the DUKE racial profiling saga. That’s what it was, but not the way woke folks would have it. The racial profiling was done at BYU’s expense and towards the unfortunate individual that was accused of racist actions.dastardly stem wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 9:55 pmYou’re really not helping your cause, mg, by equating this to the smollett case.

This line as much as any you’ve typed here deserves a reminder to look in the mirror. If the church and it’s memebers weren’t so carelessly and frequently tabbing otherwise loving family members as angry, wanting to sin apostates this would fit better coming from someone wishing to defend Mormonism. And that’s not to mention the church’s racism and homophobia etc. It looks pretty hollow though.
