In reality we should not be telling Roy whether he should or should not feel offended. No one has that right. We should simply recognize that he is offended and that should be enough. I think to be honest I can understand it. Someone’s innocent intentions are a separate aspect. I honestly don’t think that I have a right to tell Roy whether he should or should not be offended. I simply recognize he is. I can also see Roy’s initial response to Scrod would get any person alive extremely defensive. It did come off to me as calling Scrod a racist and Nazi. I am not on anyone’s side here. That is part of what is making me uncomfortable how there seems to be everyone taking sides and alienating and ostracizing another.
Hey Roy I guess I can see how you were offended. Sorry.
Scrod…I can see how you were offended also. Sorry.
