Also. Jordan B Peterson, is it possible that what’s really happened is society has become safer for oppressed people, like women, to speak their truths?
It’s like object permance where infants think people are disappearing into thin air during a game of peek a boo.
To some people a problem doesn’t exist unless people are complaining about it. So rather than solve a problem they yell at anyone who acknowledges the problem.
It’s nothing new, MLK was even talking about it in the Birmingham Letter.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

I’m going to have to think about this quote, internalize it, and become better
