I’d have kept pressing the issue.
I had a similar conversation with a co-worker several years ago about the real, comparative history regarding the Republican Party, the Democrat Party and blacks in America. After I convinced her that truth is not hate speech, she gave up and left...
“Id have kept pressing the issue.”
He is a felon and has done things that are felony stupid. Although, I’d guess his IQ is stellar. He can glance at a complicated problem and solve it much quicker than I can. He has poor impulse control and forearms and upper arms approximately four times mine. (Seriously huge.) His reactions to being challenged are to get spitting angry. Once, he ran away when he caught himself about to go stupid. He obviously can’t control himself and I can’t rely on him catching himself in time. Also, he works for me and I’d really like to maintain an even-keel emotional status.
I sensor everything I say to him in an attempt to not trigger him. I had no idea taking a kneee could be an issue. Now I know.
