With so much tension surrounding the issue of racism with most notably the Black Lives Matter movement getting the most attention everywhere I look there seems to be huge divisions where some people support the cause whereas some say \u201cAll Lives Matter.\u201d This usually generates a lot of heated conflicts between people. So I recently read a story about a person named Claira Janover who got upset of people saying \u201cAll Lives Matter\u201d where she attempted to use an analogy to express to people how she feels that phrase is so wrong.<\/p>\n
She stated the following:<\/p>\n
Imma stab you and while you’re bleeding out, imma show you my paper cut and say, “my cut matters too. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
As it turned out people took that as a literal threat and started reporting her. As a result as well she apparently lost job opportunities because of it. It just makes you think how many other people have lost job opportunities or harmed their careers trying to debate with people about sensitive issues like these. It almost makes you wonder whether or not in these situations it\u2019s best to support the cause you believe in while reserving heated debates like these in the proper venue to reduce the risks of misinterpretation.<\/p>\n
Because like you see here, unfortunately it could have a detrimental effect to your career when it\u2019s out there on the Internet where every bit of information can be taken out of context quickly. I guess like politicians it\u2019s like saying should you just reserve the debates during formal settings or use social media to do so instantly?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
