I was literally only asking because in my circle (which is made up of many different ethnicities, heritages and races) no one would take any offence and we all sing along to those songs together as a group.
It never even occurred to me that others would find it inappropriate because it’s lyrics to a song, but I obviously won’t do it any more if others might find it hurtful or offensive.
I would never want to upset someone like that.
Point taken but there was no need to be so aggressive & hostile, I was only asking.
The whole point of BLM is for everyone to learn more, to do better and be better, so don’t bite the head off people for asking genuine questions who are trying to educate themselves.
I think it was brave of you to ask and tremendous for you to want to learn and grow. Try not to take the harsh reply too personally. Race is a very sensitive topic and unfortunately people everywhere have had both traumatic and painful racist experiences that affect them for the rest of their lives. Those of us who are lucky not to experience it have to have compassion and understanding when it comes to their pain. We can’t marginalize their anger and act as if it’s not valid. It’s very important. But again, great job trying to improve. Your humility is a huge asset to you!
