Reply to comment by Loislayna1982 in What's your opinion on renaming Plantation Street because it's racist? by [deleted]

Yeah, I looked at your profile. Some kind of petty bourgeois socialist.

I really don’t give a solitary shit about your opinions. You solicited opinions. I shared a thing. If you grew up with that street it may not give you a moments pause. If you didn’t, its concerning. Thats what the item you posted is highlighting. I don’t care if you agree. You have every right not to. But its false to say no one thinks xyz. They do.

Obviously I didn't mean "no one" literally. There's you and the guy who wrote the report. The are hundreds of thousands of people in the city, though, so statistically speaking, no one is offended. Even those few people who actually are offended are generally, as demonstrated, petty bourgeois, upper-middle-class liberals who are mostly white.

You agreeing or not also is highly unlikely to determine the outcome. But you are entitled not to. You’re not entitled to dismiss opinions you requested.

Therein lies the problem. I'm a person who grew up here, has paid taxes here, and, apart from 20 years or so on the West Coast, spent most of my time so far here. And yet what I think is going to be far less valued than what some "inclusion" "experts" at a medical school think. Also not valued: the opinion of the overwhelming majority of the city's Black community, who have never, ever raised this as an issue.

EDIT: Alas, the ideologue has issued her opinion and then blocked me.

I’m glad you speak for everyone, including the black community. Particularly on a post where you solicited opinions you can’t handle.
