I think it’s possible to approach all situations respectfully but that the difficulty bound to do so varies depending on the parties and position being discussed. At some point and some edge cases it’s extremely unfair to expect polite responses. (Eg. Blaming a Black person for responding “fuck off” to a white person who says “lynching was good actually it keeps blacks in their place” is distinctly unfair to the black person as they are then expected to take and accept dehumanization and abusive language without responding as if they’ve been dehumanized or abused).
