Make sense of the following by explaining it to yourself.
If you hear a name called and it is not your name, do you respond?
If you hear someone calling out a derogatory comment, not necessarily at/to you, do you respond?
If you think you would respond (be offended), that indicates that you think/thought it applies to you.
Logically, when a person is offended it is probably because the comment was perceived as a correct point. Thus, logically it cannot be offensive because your reaction is acknowledgment that it is an accurate point.
Catch 22 (1).
Note: If you take exception, you have an exceptional take on it. Me thinks thou doth protest much too much. (2)
(1) Expression coined by Author Joseph Heller,1961 novel Catch-22.
(2) Shakespeare, Hamet, spoken by Queen Gertrude.

It struck me that the result from the effort to rid the past of the history of slavery now may come to the perfect ending with the elimination of a past problem that doesn't exist now. That itself deserves the "Go figure" award.

Many threads of wisdom flow freely, constantly or is it just reality like that expressed in lyrics in the Simon & Garfunkel song, "The Boxer" wherein stated: "All lies in jest when a man hears what he wants to hear and forgets all the rest". So, history is guided to the next round of mental boxing. With others sometimes?
