Nicholas A. Christakis added,
Are you sure? He's not reasoning with her or trying to explain why she's wrong. He's basically mocking her.
She's not there to listen to arguments. His response shows that he's not a threat to her, which is the best you can do in that situation.
Also reminds me of how Obama handled hecklers. With kindness and often with respect.
And in any case, why aren't we condemning the woman? She's the one in the wrong here.
I think that goes without saying. We all see the problem with her bigotry & attempts to intimidate. The response is what is remarkable.
That's why the photo of the African American lady protecting a KKK member with her body went viral.
Yes. To a degree it makes us feel better that targets of hate are better people than we would be, so we rely on them to be better.
She was under no obligation to do what she did. The KKK guy however was obligated NOT to support the KKK.She went above and beyond.He failed
Yes, of course. There is no ambiguity there. I don't see how her actions & public admiration for her makes that any less clear. More so.
