It isn't irrational to be upset at masses of people being stupid. It is quite rational given the sheer history of damage they have caused. Calling it "rethink"

It isn't irrational to be upset at masses of people being stupid. It is quite rational given the sheer history of damage they have caused.
Calling it "rethink" is a euphemism that damages the truth. It is rethinking in the same sense that a true king doesn't have to say he is king as power, deeds, and masses of followers make it abundantly obvious. In this case it is clearly a demand. Actual thinking would involve enough introspection to ask "isn't avoiding black in phrases like the plague in itself suggesting that black is bad far more than any tangental occurance?".
A proper rethinking would be demonstrative instead of imperative - for the previous only demonstrates what they shouldn't do instead of demonstrating what they should do. Coin a new set of phrases for the roles and explain why they are preferrable to the faded zeitgeist. But that would require creation instead of more destructive social bullshit slinging.
