What ever happened to “two wrongs don’t make a right?”

  I haven't heard that since kindergarten. Here in the adult world, we care about justice. Justice is not served when ignorant white yuppies appropriate the struggles of others. Could "Emily" have better catered to the feelings of her managers? Probably! However, we wouldn't all be laughing at Korey if she had said "I'm firing you because you have been rude." She didn't have to pretend that she had suffered some sort of harm because one of her employees didn't worship her.

    There's a reason they teach it in kindergarten: it's a pretty fundamental concept that people who want a functioning society should probably adhere to. Here's another maxim for you: live by the sword, die by the sword. If you want people to be treated equal, stop singling out groups (e.g. "ignorant white yuppies") and playing identity politics.

      This is adorable! It was Korey who fired people for, as she claimed, being "racist" and "discriminatory" to her, the lily-white CEO. I bet she wishes she had heard your advice about playing identity politics before she had played identity politics! I encourage you to tell the legislatures about your wise "two wrongs" wisdom. I bet they'll empty out the prisons immediately! Jesus left us a variety of maxims. I must admit, however, that we didn't study the Gospels in my kindergarten.
