[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally in human society we take people's feelings into account.  [b]That's kind of the whole point of society[/b] and if we don't then society itself doesn't work.  The system as a whole is rational.  One tries not to offend others and in exchange others don't try and offend one.  By trying not to offend each other we are able to work together more efficiently thereby benefitting each of us.

Also, intent can be imputed by context.  The context in this case are traditions started and honors given post-reconstruction and during the civil rights era.  They were started to send a message.  That message was received, it just took people awhile to feel safe complaining about it.  If you think the message was misinterpreted, changed during the intervening years, or wish a do-over then one needs to acknowledge the original message first.[/quote]

Are you sure about that??[/quote]

Look of the derivation of the word "society" - literally.[/quote]
