I'm with you, Peace:

I have a general problem with people who say really destructive things and then if someone is hurt, they blame the person for being too sensitive. If I say something that offends someone, I want to be told about it. Then, I want to give very serious consideration to my actions so that I may guide my tongue in the future. I too find Azizi non-confrontational and I value her presence on Mudcat. I think she is a fair woman and can accept that there are other points of view than hers... even in the black community. I know my sons, who have a great love of R & B (for example) have no trouble with Lawdy Miss Clawdy. Admittedly, it could be rewritten to be Goly Gee Miss Jennie Lee :-)

I appreciate people making me aware of things I say or do that may hurt someone.
