[Fred21716]

‘Folks’ is clearly not a pejorative. We have gone way off base in this country by placating the ignorant. Organizations like the police, schools and major corporations have us so tied up in knots that it is difficult at times to have adult conversations with anyone, lest they holler insensitivity or some “ism.” This is ridiculous and uncalled for at a time when we need more communication rather than less. Those in positions of authority and leaders of various groups must recognize this and take advantage of situations, as in the “folks” issue, to explain no evil intent. They must not give into basal notions, as is so often the case. Be honest with yourself. Did you mistake my previous use of “adult” as something lewd, or did you interpret it as intended; meaning mature? It is all in the mind of the beholder. I constantly see people assuming the worst of others when there has been no reason to make that assumption. Frequently this is between men and woman. When this occurs between races, the situation is frequently blown out of proportion because of the lack of clear thinking and clear minds.
