[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1721775, member: 1132"] I think a good talking point would be to cover the ideology behind negative branding. Group "A" does something abhorrent to Group "B" societal norms. Group "B" condemns the act and determines that the reason for the abhorrent act is the societal norms of Group "A". Then Group "C" attacks Group "B" as racist or bigoted. Subsequently, the condemnation of the act itself becomes marginalized. This is becoming a prevalent phenomenon in many areas and it's very detrimental. The media has a lot to do with it in my opinion. Rather than report the news, they've devolved into stylized shaping of stories and creating controversy where it doesn't exist or only nominally does. They further exacerbate the problem by airing any nutjob with a stupid opinion on the subject. Whatever happened to just reporting the news? [/QUOTE]
