The pendulum swings, and it has momentum. And it doesn't stop at any notional bottom.

We have to bow to the inevitable, just so the pendulum doesn't smack us in the head. But:

1) It is easier to take offence than give it.

2) ascribing your own notions on the meanings of anothers' culture is cultural appropriation. Own that concept before you say "Yes but......."

& FWIW didn't the indigenous Brits first "black up" to imitate the acrobatic (Asian) tumblers that were called Morresque. Is flattery so offensive? Yea, Yea - by Victorian times it was to disguise identity.

That's the Folk Process. So it the fashion (aka response) for Blue-Faced Morris. And are we going to ban black face masks? In a time of COVID? I have seen them on one side for years.

I have seen reports on aggresive BLM comments that statues of Jesus are offensive. Because the white marble (??) depicts a white face. If true that it represents a pendulum swinging way too much. IMNSH (atheist) O.
