Reader says Responding to complaints with accusations of bias is deeply offensive and demonstrates that the speaker has no better argument

Not everybody who complains about something is a racist, anti-disabled (whatever that means), etc. That is pure hogwash but unfortunately, becoming fairly common–too common to be true. The claim that residents who fought the new apartments are prejudiced, for example, is similarly flawed. It’s the number of new people, not who they are, that’s the problem. In fact, we don’t know who they will be. But we hate them anyway–even if they are white and able bodied and all went to Harvard!
Responding to complaints with accusations of bias is deeply offensive and demonstrates that the speaker has no better argument. In fact, most people would rather do anything than get embroiled in these things. They don’t speak out until the problem has become untenable. Then they’re accused of awful intentions. It’s a ploy used by bullies to silence their opponents and prevent others from joining them. Won’t work.

  1. Can you get a few new group pictures of our current council members deceiving us?
    The Amigos legacy will live on in infamy. The current group haven’t been much better.
    Crazy Jeff and Zucchini Ramon in particular have earned their places.

  2. This has healthbarn written all over it. Many many neighbors contact the council the right way about their concerns which are safety, fire code, the amount of large busses and chartered busses, lights and intensity of use of a small park. Stacy Antine owner of the private business healthbarn accused 2 neighbors of racism. It is terrible that people stoop so low!

  3. Omg zucchini Ramon
